Osteoporotic fracture treatment.

چکیده
Orthopaedic surgeons frequently have to deal with osteoporotic fractures of the distal radius, hip and proximal humerus. Low bone mineral density is not only associated with an increased fracture risk but also with more fracture displacement and reduction loss. The specific problems and main treatment options for these fragility fractures are reviewed.

PURPOSE As result of the current demographic changes, osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures are becoming an increasing social and economic burden. In this experimental study, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), was evaluated as a treatment option for the improvement of osteoporotic fracture healing.

Introduction: Most fractures in elderly are fragility fractures occurring in osteoporotic bones. Delayed in treatment may cause morbidity and mortality with many complications and social burdens. Our previous clinical study had shown that the use of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) could provide a beneficial effect on complex fracture. This promising efficacy was further consolidated thr...
متن کاملInhibition of Midkine Augments Osteoporotic Fracture Healing
The heparin-binding growth and differentiation factor midkine (Mdk) is proposed to negatively regulate osteoblast activity and bone formation in the adult skeleton. As Mdk-deficient mice were protected from ovariectomy (OVX)-induced bone loss, this factor may also play a role in the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis. We have previously demonstrated that Mdk negatively influences bone ...
متن کاملIdentifying Individuals at Risk for Fracture in Guatemala
INTRODUCTION The FRAX calculator combines a set of clinical risk factors with country-specific incidence rates to determine the ten-year absolute risk of major osteoporotic fracture. However, regional or country-specific databases from Central American countries are not available. We compared the use of various FRAX databases and the Pluijm algorithm in determining risk of fracture. METHODS W...
