Testosterone Replacement Therapy Is Associated With Increased Incidence Rate of Vertebral Fractures: A Matched Retrospective Analysis
Exogenous testosterone use was associated with increased 2-year incidence of vertebral fractures. Although a causal relationship could not be established, our findings highlight the need to use screening measures, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan, to identify patients at risk of vertebral fractures.
