Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in the skeletal growth, peak bone mass acquisition and maintenance of bone mass. Abnormalities in hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis in infancy and childhood have been shown to interfere with a normal linear growth and skeletal maturation. Hypothyroidism compromises normal bone formation and results in slowing of linear growth. Thyrotoxicosis leads to growth acceleration, diminution of bone mass and advance in bone age. Studies in animal models have demonstrated the importance of thyroid hormone signaling in the maintenance of bone mass in adulthood. Increased risk of fracture has been demonstrated in both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. The thyroid hormone, 3,5,3’-triiodothyronine (T3), has long been considered to play a primordial role in the skeletal homeostasis. However, recent studies have shown that TSH acts as a direct regulator of bone remodeling, highlighting the importance of integrity of the hypothalamopituitary-thyroid axis.
