Abstract
Children with cerebral palsy have an increased risk of fracture and low bone mass. A systematic review was carried out to identify the associated or risk factors. The role of bone mineral density measurement (particularly whole-body or distal femur) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and quantitative computed tomography is examined. Current strategies to prevent or treat the bone fragility in children with cerebral palsy are summarised.
