Abstract

Patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy are treated with glucocorticoids aiming to modify the natural history of the disease. However, their prolonged use is associated with growth disturbances, alterations in skeletal development and increased fracture rates. Additionally, patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy have increased bone fragility with changes in bone mass that may or may not be the result of glucocorticoid use. This fragility increases the risk of fractures, thus necessitating proper diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment of these patients. This review describes how to adequately assess and manage bone health in patients with dmd.
