Genetic determination of Colles' fracture and differential bone mass in women with and without Colles' fracture.
Osteoporotic fractures (OFs) are a major public health problem. Direct evidence of the importance and, particularly, the magnitude of genetic determination of OF per se is essentially nonexistent. Colles' fractures (CFs) are a common type of OF. In a metropolitan white female population in the midwestern United States, we found significant genetic determination of CF. The prevalence (K) of CF i...
متن کاملTreatment of nonunited scaphoid fractures by pulsed electromagnetic field and cast.
Thirty-five of 44 nonunited scaphoid fractures that were at least 6 months old healed in a mean time of 4.3 months during pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment using external coils and a thumb spica cast. The mean time from the onset of the fracture to treatment was 40 months. No concurrent operation was performed. Follow-up time averaged 8.4 months. Eight of nine fractures with avascul...
متن کاملPulsed electromagnetic field therapy in plastic surgery.
Electrotherapy devices, used for decades to reduce pain and swelling following surgery, have undergone significant refinements and have been used successfully in rhytidectomy, liposculpture, laser resurfacing, brow lift, facial fat grafting, rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty, and breast surgery. The devices are currently available as wearable patches.
متن کاملGastric emptying following Colles' fracture.
There are few complications associated with intravenous regional anaesthesia but convulsions with loss of consciousness induced by local anaesthetic toxicity may result in pulmonary aspiration. In many hospitals, patients are fasted prior to the procedure although such a delay would be of little value if gastric emptying was inhibited following painful injury. Utilizing the kinetics of paraceta...
متن کاملFracture rates calculated from fracture histories in normal postmenopausal women.
STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to estimate fracture rates and fracture prevalence from fracture histories in normal postmenopausal women. DESIGN Apparently healthy postmenopausal women were recruited by advertising in the media. Fracture histories were obtained by personal interview in 1983 and again by interview or questionnaire in 1988. Fracture rates were calculated prospectively and retrospe...
