Abstract

In this longitudinal, prospective, and population-based study (n = 1044), seven BTMs were assessed before and after trauma in 113 elderly women (85 with fractures). Markers were not altered in the immediate postfracture period but were clearly elevated during fracture repair. Recent fracture should thus be taken into account when markers are used in clinical practice.
