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 کاملRelationship Between Vertebral Bone Mineral Density and Strength
The relationship between bone mineral density and bone strength has been investigated as a ubiquitous property of bone. This study utilized 22 isolated vertebral body preparations which had their volumetric bone mineral density quantified and their compressive mechanics measured. Cadaveric baboon ninth thoracic vertebral body samples were investigated which ranged in age from 1 to 30 years and ...
متن کاملRelation of Vertebral Deformities to Bone Density, Structure, and Strength
Because they are not reliably discriminated by areal bone mineral density (aBMD) measurements, it is unclear whether minimal vertebral deformities represent early osteoporotic fractures. To address this, we compared 90 postmenopausal women with no deformity (controls) with 142 women with one or more semiquantitative grade 1 (mild) deformities and 51 women with any grade 2-3 (moderate/severe) de...
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 کاملHigh bone density and bone health.
The aim of this paper is to review the main aspects related to high bone density (HBD) as well as to discuss the physiologic mechanisms involved in bone health. There are still no well-defined criteria for identification of individuals with HBD and there are few studies on the topic. Most studies demonstrate that overweight, male gender, black ethnic background, physical activity, calcium and f...
