Significant osteoporosis: I need a bone plan

Hi, @tsc. I just now came across a YouTube video "How to use TBS (Trabecular Bone Score) in combination with BMD in Clinical DXA practice" by searching on YouTube for tbs bone health mccormick. There's a chart that *might* be saying something along the lines of your "30% of the patients considered osteoperodic per the BMD didn't have osteoporosis per the TBS" (or something like that, I don't have your quote in front of me), but I'm having a super hard time interpreting the chart (and the speaker's verbiage). The chart is attached. Is this what you're referring to? I can't tell what it's saying! I need to stop trying to swim upstream . . . I'm in over my head with all this technical info likely geared toward doctors.

Hi @catluvr999, the MediMaps people will send you a lot of information about TBS. I confess I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Maybe it's more understandable.
Did you use the FRAX tool (at American Bone Health) to calculate your risk of fracture in the next 10 years? Mine is high, but it only asks for the DXA score.
If I find anything helpful, I'll post it. Take care.
