Popis: To study the evolution of the bone mass by ultrasonic transmission after biliopancreatic diversion. Forty eight morbid obese patients were prospectively studied during 36 months following the Larrad biliopancreatic diversion. The bone metabolism was studied by PTHi and the urinary pirydinolines. The bone mass by echography and bone densitometry, which correlate to the levels of PTHi and pyridinolines. After 3 years the bone mass decreased from 50.15 +/− 7.31 kg/m2, preoperatively, to 34.03 +/− 4.53 kg/m2 (p
