Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteoporosis 1st Edition

Diagnosis and Treatment of Osteoporosis, 1st Edition by Ronald C. Hamdy is a definitive, clinically focused guide for physicians, specialists and allied health professionals caring for patients with bone fragility. This authoritative text draws on contemporary research and practical experience to deliver clear, evidence-based strategies for diagnosing osteoporosis, assessing fracture risk and selecting individualized treatment plans.

Beginning with concise explanations of bone biology and the epidemiology of osteoporosis in aging populations worldwide, the book moves quickly into hands-on diagnostic tools—DXA interpretation, fracture risk algorithms, biochemical markers and advanced imaging—framed for use in primary care, endocrinology, geriatrics, orthopedics and rheumatology. Detailed chapters address secondary causes, glucocorticoid-induced bone loss, men’s bone health and management of high-risk patients.

Treatment sections balance pharmacologic options—bisphosphonates, denosumab, anabolic agents and selective modulators—with non-pharmacologic interventions such as nutrition, vitamin D, exercise, fall prevention and rehabilitation. Practical algorithms, case examples and treatment decision pathways make it easy to translate evidence into everyday practice and improve patient outcomes.

Perfectly suited to clinicians working in the US, Europe, Asia and beyond, this volume emphasizes globally relevant guidelines and adaptable approaches for diverse care settings. Whether you are refining diagnostic skill, updating therapeutic knowledge or building a multidisciplinary osteoporosis service, Ronald C. Hamdy’s work is an indispensable resource.
