The optimum choice of treatment for an intracapsular fracture cannot be based purely on the radiological appearance of the fracture and on the age of the patient. Although these are the main considerations many other factors need to be evaluated for each individual patient. Figure 1 gives a flow diagram which helps to aid decision in treatment. The intracapsular fracture should not be thought o...
BACKGROUND Patient age is one of many potential risk factors for fracture nonunion. Our hypothesis is that older patients (≥ 60) with fracture risk factors treated with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) have similar heal rate (HR) to the population as a whole. We evaluate the impact of age in conjunction with other risk factors on HR in LIPUS-treated patients with fresh fracture (≤ 90 day...
High weight is a protective factor against osteoporosis and risk of fracture. In obesity, however, where overweight is associated to excess fat, this relationship does not appear to be so clear, excess weight has sometimes been associated to decreased bone mass. Obesity interferes with bone metabolism through mechanical, hormonal, and inflammatory factors. These factors are closely related to w...
Height has been associated with increased risk of fracture of the neck of femur. However, information on the association of height with fractures at other sites is limited and conflicting. A total of 796,081 postmenopausal women, who reported on health and lifestyle factors including a history of previous fractures and osteoporosis, were followed for 8 years for incident fracture at various sit...
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the risk of fractures related with zolpidem in elderly insomnia patients. METHODS Health claims data on the entire South Korean elderly population from January 2005 to June 2006 were extracted from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database. We applied a case-crossover design. Cases were defined as insomnia patients who had a fracture diagnosis. We set ...
CONTEXT Several fracture prediction models that combine fractures at different sites into a composite outcome are in current use. However, to the extent individual fracture sites have differing risk factor profiles, model discrimination is impaired. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to improve model discrimination by developing a 5-year composite fracture prediction model for fracture ...
OBJECTIVE To propose a set of recommendations for optimal bone mineral density (BMD) reporting in postmenopausal women and older men and to provide clinicians with both a BMD diagnostic category and a useful tool to assess an individual's risk of osteoporotic fracture. OPTIONS The current methods of BMD reporting were reviewed. In this document, we propose that an individual's 10-year absolut...
OBJECTIVE To determine comparative fracture risk in HIV patients compared with uninfected controls. DESIGN A randomised cross-sectional study assessing bone mineral density (BMD), fracture history and risk factors in the 2 groups. SETTING Hospital Outpatients. SUBBBJECTS 222 HIV infected patients and an equal number of age-matched controls. ASSESSMENTS Fracture risk factors were assesse...
BACKGROUND Delirium and pain are common following hip fracture. Untreated pain has been shown to increase the risk of delirium in older adults undergoing elective surgery. This study was performed to examine the relationship among pain, analgesics, and other factors on delirium in hip fracture patients. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study at four New York hospitals that enrolled 5...
Osteoporosis or osteopenia occurs in about 44 million Americans, resulting in 1.5 million fragility fractures per year. The consequences of these fractures include pain, disability, depression, loss of independence, and increased mortality. The burden to the healthcare system, in terms of cost and resources, is tremendous, with an estimated direct annual USA healthcare expenditure of about $17 ...
