This supplement contains the proceedings of a workshop aimed at defining the material, cellular, and structural basis of bone fragility. This meeting brought together investigators with expertise in bone’s trabecular and cortical macroscopic and microscopic architecture, its inorganic, organic, and cellular composition, bone modeling and remodeling, the local and systemic regulators of bone cell differentiation and function, extracellular matrix proteins, angiogenesis, mechanisms of mechanotransduction, biomechanics, and genetic research. The purpose of the meeting was to unify these highly specialized areas by directing each topic toward a better understanding of the pathogenesis of bone fragility.The principles of bone remodeling and the current status of drug therapy are discussed by Robert Heaney and Robert Lindsay, respectively. John Bilezikian discusses bone quality in metabolic bone disease, in particular primary hyperparathyroidism. The inorganic and organic composition of bone in relation to its strength is discussed by John Currey. Dr. Currey contrasts the effects of alterations in the proportions of mineral, organic, and water content on the stiffness and toughness of bone tissue. Increasing mineral increases the stiffness of bone tissue, while decreasing collagen reduces the toughness of bone material. The contribution of collagen to strength may be less in cortical than in trabecular bone.
