This scoping review analyzes BMD changes in transient osteoporosis and bone marrow edema syndrome, suggesting a shared mechanism.

The aim is to evaluate bone mineral density in transient osteoporosis and related syndromes to clarify their connections.
Screened 561 publications to identify relevant studies.
Analyzed quantifiable BMD data from 188 patients during active disease.
Employed mixed-effects modeling and linear regression for data analysis.
Symptomatic hips showed a mean Z/T-score reduction of -2.12.
Symptomatic hips had significantly lower BMD than asymptomatic hips, with a difference of -1.2 in Z/T-scores.
Spine BMD also decreased with a mean Z/T-score of -1.83 among study participants.

Hasvik et al. (2026) studied this question.
