New Clinical Trial: Assessment of Femoral Failure Load and Fracture Risk in Rare Bone Disorders Using MEKANOS Tool. Case Study of Fibrous Dysplasia of Bone/McCune Albright Syndrome (NCT07507942)

Researchers in France are studying a new tool called MEKANOS that measures how strong bones are and predicts fracture risk in people with fibrous dysplasia, a rare bone disease. This clinical trial involves 20 patients and aims to solve a major problem doctors face: they currently have no good way to know which patients are at highest risk of bone breaks. The study could help doctors make better treatment decisions for this condition.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial addresses a critical gap in fibrous dysplasia care—doctors currently lack reliable tools to predict which patients will experience fractures, making this the first systematic assessment of fracture risk in this population.
