Effect of Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injections on Osteoporotic Fracture and Bone Mineral Density in Elderly Women with Diabetes Mellitus

Figure 2

Mean percent change in bone mineral density from baseline after epidural steroid injections. Values are presented as mean ± SD. There were no significant differences between baseline and posttreatment BMD values. The values below bar graphs represent the mean percent change in BMD. The non-DM group consisted of postmenopausal women without diabetes mellitus who received ESI. The DM group consisted of postmenopausal women with diabetes mellitus who received ESI. Bone mineral density data are based on T-scores. BMD = bone mineral density; ESI = epidural steroid injection.
