Asymptomatic vertebral fractures in patients with low bone mineral density.
OBJECTIVE Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) is a test technique that can be used to detect asymptomatic vertebral fractures (AVF). It uses dual energy X-ray bsorptiometry (DXA) and can be performed concurrently with bone densitometry. This study aims to assess the prevalence of AVF in patients with low bone mass. METHODS Cross-sectional study including 135 individuals with low bone mineral ...
متن کاملIdentification of rheumatoid arthritis patients with vertebral fractures using bone mineral density and trabecular bone score.
The aim of this study was to test bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular bone score (TBS), and their combination, for detection of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with vertebral fractures (VFs). One hundred eighty-five women aged 56.0 ± 13.5 yr, with RA since 15.5 ± 9.9 yr were studied. Lumbar spine, total hip, and femoral neck BMD were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). TBS...
متن کاملVariation in Lumbar Vertebral Pedicle Structure with Bone Mineral Density
Introduction: Despite widespread use of pedicles in lumbar spine fixation, relatively little is known regarding variations in pedicle structure particularly in osteoporosis. It is valuable to understand this relationship because pedicles provide an important area for screw fixation and a point of complication when screws penetrate through weak pedicle walls into adjacent structures. Hirano et a...
متن کاملLow Bone Mineral Density and Associated Factors in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Failure to maintain bone mass density is a major complication in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and also identifying associated risk factors in CF patients. Materials and Methods: Present study conducted on 59 CF patients aged 5-35 years referred to respiratory clinic of Masih Daneshvari Hospi...
متن کاملPeripheral bone mineral density in patients with distal radial fractures.
Fractures of the distal forearm are widely regarded as the result of "fragility". We have examined the extent to which patients with Colles' fractures have osteopenia. We measured the bone mineral density (BMD) in the contralateral radius of 235 women presenting with Colles' fractures over a period of two years. While women of all ages had low values for ultra-distal BMD, the values, in age-mat...
