متن کاملPrediction of osteoporotic fractures by postural instability and bone density.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the utility of risk factors such as bone mineral density, lifestyle, and postural stability in the prediction of osteoporotic fractures. DESIGN Longitudinal, epidemiological, and population based survey. SETTING City of Dubbo, New South Wales. SUBJECTS All residents of Dubbo aged > or = 60 on 1 January 1989. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Incidence of fracture for individ...
متن کاملBone graft substitutes and bone morphogenetic proteins for osteoporotic fractures: what is the evidence?
Despite improvements in implants and surgical techniques, osteoporotic fractures remain challenging to treat. Among other major risk factors, decreased expression of morphogenetic proteins has been identified for impaired fracture healing in osteoporosis. Bone grafts or bone graft substitutes are often used for stabilizing the implant and for providing a scaffold for ingrowth of new bone. Both ...
متن کاملCalcium and osteoporotic fractures
Ca is a main component of bone and 99 % of body Ca is found in the skeleton. In addition to being of great importance for the structural properties of bone, bone Ca is the major reservoir for body Ca. Ca is essential for numerous metabolic functions, and to maintain these, serum Ca is strictly regulated. Ca balance is determined by the amount of Ca in the diet (supplements included), the effici...
متن کاملPercutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic fractures.
BACKGROUND Vertebral augmentation has been widely used to treat vertebral body compression fractures caused by varied pathologies. The lifetime risk of a vertebral body compression fracture is 16% for women and 5% for men, and exponential increase of osteoporotic fractures worldwide. PURPOSE To determine the efficacy and durability of percutaneous vertebroplasty for the treatment of back pain...
