Dr. Hamdy is actively involved in clinical practice, medical education and research. In 2011 he was awarded the Clinician of the year award by the International Society of Clinical Densitometry. For the past 25 years, he has directed a number of educational programs on osteoporosis including the Southern Medical Association annual Osteoporosis Conference.Dr. Lewiecki is on the clinical faculty at University of New Mexico School of Medicine and Director of New Mexico Clinical Research & Osteoporosis Center in Albuquerque, NM, USA. He is principal investigator for many osteoporosis clinical trials and author of numerous scientific papers. He is an active educator on the evaluation and treatment of osteoporosis.

The book does a good job of covering all aspects of osteoporosis from epidemiology and pathophysiology to imaging modalities used to help diagnose it, different treatment options available, and drug-induced and metabolic disorders that can lead to it, etc. The book emphasizes the importance of identifying those at greatest risk of developing osteoporosis. For example, the authors do a good job of addressing osteoporosis in premenopausal women, men, and children/adolescents. We may sometimes forget that the latter two groups also can develop osteoporosis. The basic bone pathophysiology chapter is well written and helped me understand how the different cells work together with or against each other to help create and reabsorb bone... This is a good reference to have on hand to refresh your knowledge of osteoporosis. The small size means I can easily carry it in my pocket and access it whenever I have time.
