ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
As an indicator to evaluate the risk of fracture in diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, the maximum number of vertebral bodies' bone cross-linked with contiguous adjacent vertebrae (max VB) was developed. This study retrospectively investigates the relationship between max VB, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone metabolic markers (BMM).METHODS:
In this cross-sectional study (from April 2010 to January 2022), males (n = 114) with various max VB from the thoracic vertebra to the sacrum, measured using computed tomography scans, were selected to assess femur BMD and BMM. The association of max VB with the total type I procollagen N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b), and bone turnover ratio (BTR = TRACP-5b/P1NP) as well as its relationship with femur BMD with P1NP and TRACP-5b, were investigated. Furthermore, the relationship between P1NP and TRACP-5b was investigated.RESULTS:
P1NP increased in proportion to max VB and TRACP-5b increased in proportion to P1NP. Moreover, BTR was inversely proportional to max VB. Finally, femur BMD was inversely proportional to P1NP and TRACP-5b.CONCLUSION:
As max VB increased with P1NP-a potential osteogenesis indicator-and BTR was inversely proportional to max VB with compensatory TRACP-5b increase, max VB can be considered as a possible predictor of bone fusion.Palavras-chave
