TBS is available on any DEXA that has special software. It measures homogeneity in trabecular as a measure of strength, There are medications like Prolia and Evenity which add bone to existing bone in the trabecular type of bone. Only two medications actually rebuild the cartilaginous framework within trabecular bone. So, you might also ask about Forteo or Tymlos. Forteo is often used for bones that are nsot healing, because it increases bone growth of the best kind. " Currently many United States physicians use Teriparatide [Forteo] “off license” for fractures and non-unions. "
I have a TBS score with every DEXA.

@gently
I am so thankful for this information. My health insurance allows a DEXA every two years only. So my next one is one year from now (last had it in 2024). I may have to wait but I am going to advocate for an exception at my appointment tomorrow. Again, thank you.
