Consequences of hyperthyroidism and its treatment for bone microarchitecture assessed by high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography.

CONCLUSIONS: Compared to a healthy control group, hyperthyroid women had lower vBMD, lower estimated bone strength, and compromised cortical microarchitecture in the radius. After restoration of euthyroidism, significant improvements in vBMD and cortical microarchitecture were observed, highlighting the importance of achieving and maintaining euthyroidism.
