Implication

Questionnaire survey reveals increased bone mineral density testing and bone anabolic drug use among orthopaedic surgeons, highlighting shifts toward early intensive osteoporosis care.

Key Points

Early osteoporosis treatment increasingly favored parathyroid hormone and romosozumab over bisphosphonates to achieve rapid bone mineral density improvements.
Analysis of 74 clinical cases over a 5-year period documented substantial increases in orders for procollagen I N-terminal propeptide and lumbar spine testing.
Questionnaire survey findings highlight growing reliance on tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b tests to assess bone metabolism without diurnal variations.
