Further Evidence That Bone Mineral Density and Soft Tissues Influence Pelvic Fracture in Older Women during Lateral Impact
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pelvic fractures occur commonly in side impact automotive crashes (Gokcen et al., 1994). Women are more frequently injured (Lewis et al., 1996), leading automotive researchers to re-focus on womens safety in side impacts. There is, however, a paucity of biomechanical data for the human female pelvis with the currently accepted fracture tolerance of 4.26 kN based upon extrapolations from impacts on male and female cadavers (Cesari & Ramet, 1982).

Bone Density and Trochanteric Tissue Thickness Affect Fracture of the Female Pelvis in Side Impact Experiments
In spite of advances in occupant protection, pelvic fractures remain a source of morbidity and mortality in motor vehicle side impacts. Women are more frequently injured than men, leading automotive researchers to incorporate the SID-IIs (small female crash dummy) into side impact testing of passenger vehicles. Currently accepted fracture tolerances for the female pelvis are based on extrapolat...
متن کاملEvaluation of Frequency Pattern of Risk Factors for Decreased Bone Mineral Density in Postmenopausal Women Referred to the Bone Mineral Density Assessment Center of Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan during Years 2018 and 2019
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease in which the internal structure and ability of bone to repair its daily damage is impaired. Menopause is a vital period that affects bone health, causing rapid loss of bone mass, which in turn increases the risk of fractures in postmenopausal women. The present study was performed to evaluate the frequency pattern of risk factors for dec...

Background: A better understanding of how bone mineral density and vitamin D levels are associated with femoralneck and intertrochanteric hip fractures may help inform healthcare providers. We asked: 1) In patients age ≥ 55 years,is there a difference in quantitative ultrasound of the heel (QUS) t-score between patients with fractures of the femoralneck and those with fractures of the intertroc...

Background: The main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between serum vitamin D and the status of bone mineral density in patients with low-energy hip and distal radius fracture. Methods: This retrospective case-control study was performed between January 2013 and January 2014. Participants aged 55 years or older were divided to case group including 85 patients with lo...

Introduction: Endometriosis is one of the main causes of pelvic pain and subfertility, which is characterized by endometrial-like tissues outside the uterus and primarily is created in the pelvic peritoneum, ovaries, walls between the rectum and vagina and in rare cases in the diaphragm, pleura and pericardium. Some risk factors for endometriosis are obstruction in menstrual hemorrhage, an incr...
