Risk of osteoporotic fracture after steroid injections in Medicare patients

چکیده
Aim We further evaluated associations between steroid injections and osteoporotic fracture risk by analyzing the Medicare database and including large joint and transforaminal steroid injections; as well as osteoporotic hip and wrist fractures. A systemic effect would increase risk in all fracture locations regardless of injection site. A local effect would result in a disproportionate increased risk of spine fractures when steroids were injected into the spine.

Background: Osteoporotic compression vertebral fractures are common clinical problems. In those with refractory fractures, percutaneous cement augmentation has been suggested. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome of percutaneous vertebroplasty in Iranian patients with refractory osteoporotic fractures.

We have studied 58 patients with pain from osteoporotic vertebral fractures which did not respond to conservative treatment. These were 53 women and five men with a mean age of 72.5 years. They received a nerve-root injection with lidocaine, bupivicaine and DepoMedrol. The mean follow-up period was 13.5 months. The mean pain scores before treatment, at one and six months after treatment and at ...
متن کاملLow bone mineral density, but not epidural steroid injection, is associated with fracture in postmenopausal women with low back pain.
BACKGROUND Therapy with glucocorticoids often results in bone loss and glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. However, the relationship between epidural steroid injection (ESI), bone mineral density (BMD), and vertebral fracture remains to be determined. OBJECTIVE To establish a relationship between ESI, BMD, and vertebral fracture in postmenopausal women with low back pain. STUDY DESIGN This...
