OsteoStrong in Boise, Idaho, just began Echolight Scans March 2024.

Would you speak to hip fractures and if Strontium prevents hip fractures significantly in especially older women.
To Anonymous of 3/25/2024,
Thank you. I am sure we will be adding several new REMS Echolight scan sites in the USA as time goes by. I followed your link, and did not see anything about the scans. However, I saw a post dated March 3 on OsteoStrong Boise's Facebook page:
"We now offer a non-radiation bone density scan with fragility score at OsteoStrong on Fridays! The only one of it’s kind in Idaho."
"Did you know you can book Echolight at your office/studio/clinic? Give us a call for more details. (208)331-4072."
Please understand that I am not endorsing OsteoStrong's osteogenic loading equipment because I have never used it.
To Anonymous of 3/26/2024,
The clinical efficacy of strontium ranelate has been demonstrated with a fracture risk reduction for postmenopausal women by 41% in vertebral fractures, 16% in nonvertebral fractures, and 36% in hip fractures after 3 years of strontium ranelate treatment in the studies of the Spinal Osteoporosis Therapeutic Intervention (SOTI) and the Treatment of Peripheral Osteoporosis (TROPOS).
TROPOS study:
"In the entire sample (5091 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis), relative risk (RR) was reduced by 16% for all nonvertebral fractures (P = 0.04), and by 19% for major fragility fractures (hip, wrist, pelvis and sacrum, ribs and sternum, clavicle, humerus) (P = 0.031) in strontium ranelate-treated patients in comparison with the placebo group. Among women at high risk of hip fracture (age > or = 74 yr and femoral neck bone mineral density T score < or = -3, corresponding to -2.4 according to NHANES reference) (n = 1977), the RR reduction for hip fracture was 36% (P = 0.046). RR of vertebral fractures was reduced by 39% (P < 0.001) in the 3640 patients with spinal x-rays and by 45% in the subgroup without prevalent vertebral fracture." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15728210/
In the Combination of Micronutrients for Bone (COMB) and Melatonin-Micronutrients Osteopenia Treatment (MOTS) studies no fractures occurred after one year of taking strontium citrate in combination with other supplements.
