Fig. 2From: Unexpected rapid increase in bone mineral density by bisphosphonate therapy after multiple spinal fractures: a case reportPercentage changes in bilateral total hip bone mineral density (H-BMD) from 59 to 66 years of age. H-BMD was 0.671 g/cm2 (− 2.2 standard deviation [SD]) prior to treatment, 0.842 g/cm2 (− 0.8 SD; 25.5% increase) at 1 year, 0.862 g/cm2 (− 0.6 SD; 28.5% increase) at 2 years, 0.889 g/cm2 (− 0.4 SD; 32.5% increase) at 3 years, and 0.885 g/cm2 (− 0.4 SD; 31.9% increase) at 6.5 yearsBack to article page
