Is radiographic vertebral fracture a risk factor for mortality?
Clinical fractures predict increased mortality risk, but few studies report mortality based on prevalent radiographically defined vertebral fracture. This study examined whether radiographically defined vertebral fracture is a risk factor for mortality in older adults. The 1,580 participants in California (631 men, 949 women) were aged > or =50 years in 1992-1996. Lateral spine radiographs, and...
متن کاملOsteoporosis as a risk factor for distal radial fractures: a case-control study.
BACKGROUND Distal radial fractures occur earlier in life than hip and spinal fractures and may be the first sign of osteoporosis. The aims of this case-control study were to compare the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis between female and male patients with low-energy distal radial fractures and matched controls and to investigate whether observed differences in bone mineral density bet...
متن کاملRetrograde Intramedullary Nailing for Distal Femur Fracture with Osteoporosis
BACKGROUND The incidence of distal femur fracture in the elderly has been increasing recently, and commonly occurs with osteoporosis. Retrograde intramedullary nailing has been considered a good surgical option for distal femur fracture. The purpose of the present study was to present our surgical results with retrograde intramedullary nailing for distal femur fractures with osteoporosis. MET...
متن کاملThe Influence of Distal Radius Fracture Alignment on Forearm Rotation
INTRODUCTION: Fractures of the distal radius are the most common fracture of both adults and children. Distal radius fractures frequently heal with residual displacement and angulation with cast treatment and often cause distal radioulnar joint dysfunction including pain, decreased rotation, weakness, and arthritis. In spite of the frequency of these injuries, the indications for surgical treat...
متن کاملRisk factors, falls, and fracture of the distal forearm in Manchester, UK.
OBJECTIVE To determine the risk factors associated with fracture of the distal forearm, and to evaluate the influence of falls on these risks. DESIGN This was a case-control study. SETTING Manchester, UK. PARTICIPANTS The cases were 62 white women aged 45-82 years who had sustained a fracture of the distal forearm and had attended local hospitals. Two control groups were studied - 50 wome...
