Fig. 1From: Bone metabolism and inflammatory characteristics in 14 cases of chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitisBMD of the lumbar spine expressed as Z-scores in patients with CNO. The BMD of the lumbar spine in all patients was lower than the age-matched normal BMD (not available in two patients). The mean Z-score at the lumbar spine in our patients with CNO was −1.7.
