Evaluating Fracture Risk in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Share

1

Sant et al. evaluated fracture risk in nearly 60,000 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism using the FRAX tool.
2

The study found that surgical management significantly reduced fracture incidence when MOF risk exceeded 1.2% and hip fracture risk exceeded 2.7%.
3

Current guidelines recommend parathyroidectomy based on T-scores or prior fractures, lacking FRAX-based risk assessment data.
4

Surgical management was associated with a 9% reduction in any fracture risk, emphasizing the importance of addressing all fracture sites.

The findings support more informed decision-making in managing primary hyperparathyroidism, balancing surgical and nonsurgical options.
