Two of the main accomplishments of the researches in the bone field were: 1) the application for the first time of vertebral morphometry for diagnosis of skeletal fragility in patients with osteoporosis related to endocrine disease; 2) the demonstration in humans that pituitary hormones (i.e., thyrotropin and prolactin) may have direct effects on bone and they may directly influence skeletal fragility. Gherardo Mazziotti was also leader author of studies on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and multicenter studies in the oncology field investigating the management of bone metastases from thyroid cancer and the efficacy and safety of non conventional therapeutic schedules in acromegaly
