About this Course

This session looks past the number on a DXA report to the rare, often-missed bone diseases that compromise bone quality and can quietly raise surgical risk. We’ll review how to recognize when a low score signals something more, when to pursue additional workup, and how an accurate diagnosis reshapes treatment, illustrated throughout with real-world case examples.
