Abstract
The International Society for Clinical Densitometry has recently published new guidelines for diagnostics of osteoporosis in children. These recommendations cope with the diagnostics of children with repeated fractures in a very precise and comprehensive way.
Calcium, vitamin D and an adequate physical activity are frequently used for the prophylaxis of osteoporosis, bisphosphonates should be administered in the most severe cases. Other therapeutic possibilities (parathormone, denosumab) are a topic of upcoming clinical studies.
