The International Society for Fracture Repair convened a multidisciplinary workshop to assess the current evidence around the interaction between anti-osteoporosis drugs and the healing of incident fractures, with a view to making recommendations for clinical practice. The consensus was that there is no evidence-based reason to withhold anti-resorptive therapy while a fracture heals, whether or not...
Retrospective and uncontrolled studies suggest that the lipid-lowering statin class of drugs has either no or beneficial effects on bone density and may reduce fracture risk. We have examined the effects of atorvastatin on serum and plasma markers of bone turnover in 25 patients (age 56 +/- 8 years) with type 2 diabetes (duration: 4.7 +/- 5.0 years, 16 female, 2 insulin-treated, 4 diet alone, and...
Bone growth and maintenance are highly regulated processes. Throughout life, bone constantly undergoes remodelling, maintaining a balance between bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts. This balance depends on the coordinated activities of many systemic hormones and locally acting factors in the bone microenvironment. Understanding the mechanisms of action of these factors...
