Bone turnover markers in the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis
Abstract
Osteoporosis is the most common cause of fragility fractures. Bone remodelling is essential for repairing damaged areas within bone to preserve bone strength and for assisting in mineral homeostases. In young adults, bone remodelling is usually balanced with approximately as much bone replaced as is removed during each remodelling cycle.
