Review, Journal: Advancements in the Management of Fragility Fractures in Orthopaedic Patients. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 23, 2024 Advancements in medical therapy include romosozumab, recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidance in patients with imminent fracture risk, which improves overall bone mineral density...The surgical approach to fragility fractures has undergone major advancements over the past 20 years, with developments such as polyaxial locking and far cortical locking systems that achieve secondary bone healing, as well as cement augmented screw fixation to provide stable fixation in osteoporotic bone. The development of minimally invasive surgical approaches has led to improved periosteal blood flow around a fracture site, as well as reduced operating time, hospital stay, and time to pain-free weight-bearing.

Review, Journal: The Management of Osteoporosis in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Review of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 19, 2024 While traditional osteoporosis treatments such as bisphosphonates, denosumab, and teriparatide have been adapted for CKD patients, recent innovations have introduced agents aimed at enhancing bone mass and reducing fracture incidence...Osteoporosis management in CKD patients necessitates a personalized approach guided by the disease's stage and individual profile. This review underscores the potential of emerging therapies and emphasizes the need for further research to refine treatment protocols, aiming to enhance patient outcomes in this complex population.

Retrospective data, Journal: Therapy with transitions from one bone-forming agent to another: a retrospective cohort study on teriparatide and romosozumab. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 28, 2024 Furthermore, when examining the changes in the proportion of patients who achieved the osteoporosis treatment goal of a T-score exceeding -2.5, no significant increase was observed in the R2T group, whereas a significant increase was observed in the lumbar spine in the T2R group. Regarding therapy switching between bone-forming agents, this study suggests that transitioning from teriparatide to romosozumab increases BMD more effectively than transitioning in the opposite sequence.

Journal, HEOR, Cost-effectiveness, Cost effectiveness: Cost-effectiveness intervention thresholds for romosozumab and teriparatide in the treatment of osteoporosis in the UK. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 20, 2024 Regarding therapy switching between bone-forming agents, this study suggests that transitioning from teriparatide to romosozumab increases BMD more effectively than transitioning in the opposite sequence. The results of this study indicate that sequential romosozumab-to-alendronate or teriparatide-to-alendronate treatment can be a cost-effective treatment option for postmenopausal women at very high risk of fracture.

Journal: Treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis with concurrent denosumab and romosozumab: a case report. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 23, 2024 However, there is limited experience with the combination of denosumab and romosozumab, which may be an alternative antiresorptive/anabolic regimen for individuals who are not candidates for PTH receptor agonists. In this case, we present a young man with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis who could not tolerate a daily injectable anabolic and who experienced improvement in bone mineral density with concurrent denosumab and off-label romosozumab administration.

Based on the available evidence, romosozumab could be proposed as ideal drug in several clinical settings, such as non-fractured post-menopausal women at very-high risk of fractures, patients with recent hip fracture, patients non responder to bisphosphonates and short-term denosumab therapy.

(Pubmed Central) - Oct 2, 2024 Conversely, with romosozumab, the levels of bone formation markers increased transiently at 6 months before returning to baseline, whereas bone resorption markers significantly decreased at both time points. Romosozumab demonstrated significantly superior effects over denosumab in improving BMD, especially of the lumbar spine, suggesting that romosozumab can be used for treating male osteoporosis.
