Does Your T-Score Really Matter? Rethinking Bone Health with Dr. Andy Bush
Is a single number determining your treatment plan? For many women, the T-score from a DEXA scan becomes the full story of their bone health. But what if that story is incomplete—or even misleading?
In this episode, I sit down with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andy Bush, who has shifted his focus from fixing fractures to preventing them. Together, we dive into the flaws of the traditional DEXA scan, why your T-score might not reflect your actual fracture risk, and the power of a better diagnostic: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry).
If you’ve ever been told you have osteoporosis — or felt confused and fearful about your scan results—this is the episode for you.
🔑 What You’ll Learn:
- Why T-scores alone are not reliable predictors of fracture risk
- What the DEXA scan actually measures (and why it’s incomplete)
- How REMS technology assesses bone strength and quality
- The difference between density and structure in bone health
- Why 50% of fractures happen in women without osteoporosis
- What a fragility score tells you that a T-score doesn’t
- What to ask your doctor if you’re getting a DEXA scan
- The role of TBS (Trabecular Bone Score) and how it adds context
👤 About Dr. Andy Bush:
Dr. Andy Bush is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon based in North Carolina who transitioned his practice from surgical fracture treatment to preventative bone health care. He is a pioneer in the use of REMS scanning in the U.S. and specializes in assessing structural bone strength and fragility risk in women.
