Highlights in clinical bone research

Over the past two years we have continued to see new developments and findings in paediatric bone disease that will help change and modify our clinical practice. I have selected some pertinent publications and divided these into different themes that I intend to highlight in this presentation. These include:

(1) New treatment options – Burosumab for X-linked Hypophosphataemic Rickets and Anti-Sclerostin antibody for Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

(2) New conditions and management – a novel form of Vitamin D dependant rickets and a consensus statement on Pseudohypoparathyroidism.

(3)Longitudinal follow up studies – femoral fractures in Osteogenesis Imperfecta, scoliosis in Fibrous Dysplasia, vertebral fractures in Leukaemia and following discontinuation of Denosumab.

(4) Vitamin D – new evidence of potential benefits or lack of benefit in infections, fracture risk and bone density.
