Incidence of Radiologically Confirmed Fractures in Adults With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
The fracture incidence in adult men with DMD is more than double that of UK men aged 18-49 years old, with an even higher incidence in those treated with corticosteroids. Fewer than half of the study population underwent bone monitoring. There is a need for enhanced clinical guidance for the monitoring and management of osteoporosis during transition and throughout adulthood.
