Distal radial fractures heal by direct woven bone formation
BACKGROUND Descriptions of fracture healing almost exclusively deal with shaft fractures and they often emphasize endochondral bone formation. In reality, most fractures occur in metaphyseal cancellous bone. Apart from a study of vertebral fractures, we have not found any histological description of cancellous bone healing in humans. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied histological biopsies from ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Associated Carpal Bone Fractures in Distal Radial Fractures
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency and distribution of associated carpal bone fractures (CBFs) in distal radial fractures (DRFs). METHODS Three hundred and thirteen patients who underwent surgical treatment for DRFs between March 2007 and January 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. In this study, 223 patients who had preoperative computed tomography (CT) wer...
متن کاملPeripheral bone mineral density in patients with distal radial fractures.
Fractures of the distal forearm are widely regarded as the result of "fragility". We have examined the extent to which patients with Colles' fractures have osteopenia. We measured the bone mineral density (BMD) in the contralateral radius of 235 women presenting with Colles' fractures over a period of two years. While women of all ages had low values for ultra-distal BMD, the values, in age-mat...
متن کاملTeriparatide improves early callus formation in distal radial fractures
BACKGROUND Teriparatide (parathyreoid hormone; PTH 1-34) increases skeletal mass in humans and improves fracture healing in animals. A recent randomized multicenter trial of nonoperated distal radial fractures showed a moderate shortening of the time to restoration of cortical continuity by treatment with 20 microg (low-dose) teriparatide per day, but not with 40 microg (high-dose). As radiogra...
متن کاملCarpal Bone Fractures in Distal Radial Fractures: Is Computed Tomography Expedient?
To the Editor: We read with great interest the article “Evaluation of associated carpal bone fractures in distal radial fractures” by Heo et al. We would like to congratulate the authors for this study. However, the article left a few seminal questions unaddressed that we would like to draw the authors’ attention to. The authors mentioned that out of 223 fractures of the distal end of the radiu...
