Direct healthcare costs of hip, vertebral, and non-hip, non-vertebral fractures.
Limited data exist regarding the cost of non-hip, non-vertebral (NHNV) fractures. Although NHNV fractures may be less expensive than hip and vertebral fractures, they have a higher incidence rate. The objective of this study was to quantify first-year healthcare costs of hip, vertebral, and NHNV fractures. This was a claims-based retrospective analysis using a case-control design among patients...

متن کاملVertebral compression fractures.
Vertebral augmentation has come under intense scrutiny over the last year, following the publication of highly publicized trials and numerous editorials focused on the efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) and kyphoplasty (KP) for relief of pain due to vertebral compression fractures (VCFs).2,5,10–12,14,19,24–26,33,35,36 The lay press has concentrated almost solely21,32 on two randomized...
متن کاملSevere osteoporosis: diagnosis of non-hip non-vertebral (NHNV) fractures.
Osteoporotic bone, structurally altered because of reduction of bone mineral density and quality deterioration, can easily head for fracture after minimum mechanical stress.THE MOST COMMON SITES OF FRACTURE, OTHER THAN SPINE AND HIP, ARE, IN DECREASING ORDER: distal radius, forearm, proximal humerus, other femoral sites, ribs, pelvis, tibia and fibula, metatarsal bone and calcaneum. The role of...
متن کاملThe Incidence of New Vertebral Fractures Following Vertebral Augmentation
A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was performed that compares the relationship between percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) and conservative treatments with the incidence of new vertebral fractures. Using meta-analytic techniques, this study compares PVA and conservative treatment for incidence of new vertebral fractures, particularly incidence of adjacent fractures that occu...
