FRI0580 Predict sarcopenia by sonoelastography of quadriceps muscle in osteoporotic patients

Abstract

secondary osteoporosis was detected. Serum vitamin D concentration was <30 ng/ml in 5 patients, including 2 with concentration <10 ng/ml. Conclusions: Our study reveals that odontoid fractures mainly occur in elderly osteoporotic patients after a low energy impact. Although WHO osteoporosis definition excludes cervical fractures, odontoid fracture may be considered as an osteoporotic fracture. Further studies are required to confirm these results.
