Reduced cortical bone density with normal trabecular bone density in girls with Turner syndrome.

SUMMARY: This study of 22 girls with Turner syndrome (TS) demonstrates a reduction in bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) at the femoral neck along with a reduction in cortical bone density at the radius (with sparing of trabecular bone). These findings may account for the increased fracture risk n...
