Abstract

Rebound-associated vertebral fractures (RAVFs) could occur in a minority of the patients who discontinue denosumab. In such patients, denosumab is often reinstituted to rapidly suppress bone turnover and avert the risk of additional fractures. Herein we report the cases of 2 patients who sustained RAVFs, and in whom resuming denosumab treatment did not avert the occurrence of new RAVFs a few months later, despite the suppression of bone turnover markers. It seems that denosumab reinstitution cannot completely eliminate the risk of new RAVFs and that the rebound of bone turnover may not be the sole mechanism to explain this phenomenon.
