BACKGROUND Because the complications of vertebroplasty are serious and can include new fracture, we retrospectively evaluated potential risk factors for new fracture after vertebroplasty. Our hypothesis is that thoracolumbar vertebrae adjacent to a vertebroplasty site have a higher incidence of new compression fracture than do other vertebrae. METHODS Between March 2001 and December 2002, a t...
Epidemiology and mortality of hip fracture among patients on dialysis: Taiwan National Cohort Study.
Chronic kidney disease increases the risk for hip fractures. Hip fractures are associated with increased mortality, decreased quality of life, and higher economic burden. To determine whether dialysis modality is associated with a higher incidence of hip fractures in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), we used the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database to examine the recor...
INTRODUCTION Distal forearm fracture is one of the most frequently observed osteoporotic fractures which may occur as a result of low energy falls such as falls from a standing height and may be linked to the osteoporotic nature of the bone especially in the elderly. In order to improve both the diagnosis of high fracture risk individuals and the fracture prevention methods, the influence of ex...
OBJECTIVE Although vitamin D levels are not routinely monitored in pediatric fracture patients, identification of children with a vitamin D deficiency may be clinically relevant because of the potential role of vitamin D in fracture healing. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in a pediatric fracture population and to identify risk factors for deficiency. METH...
OBJECTIVES To identify the risk factors for long bone fractures in non-ambulatory cerebral palsy children. DESIGN. Case-control study. SETTING A residential rehabilitation centre in Hong Kong. PATIENTS The fracture group comprised 19 (13 male, 6 female) cerebral palsy children aged 4 years 5 months to 18 years 11 months (mean, 10 years; standard deviation, 3 years 9 months), who had their f...
CONTEXT Stress fractures are common injuries in athletes, often difficult to diagnose. A stress fracture is a fatigue-induced fracture of bone caused by repeated applications of stress over time. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION PubMed articles published from 1974 to January 2012. RESULTS Intrinsic and extrinsic factors may predict the risk of stress fractures in athletes, including bone health, traini...
We aimed to determine whether the Emergency Department (ED) is a suitable entrance point for osteoporosis screening among fallers without concomitant fracture compared to referral from general practice. Furthermore, to identify factors associated with osteoporosis among fallers. Methods. Patients aged 50-80 years sustaining a low-energy fall without fracture were identified from an ED (n = 199)...
In contrast to traditional approaches to fracture risk assessment using clinical risk factors and bone mineral density (BMD), a new technique, reference point microindentation (RPI), permits direct assessment of bone quality; in vivo tibial RPI measurements appear to discriminate patients with a fragility fracture from controls. However, it is unclear how this relates to the site of the most cl...
BACKGROUND Several guidelines have been reported for bone-directed treatment in women with early breast cancer (EBC) for averting fractures, particularly during aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy. Recently, a number of studies on additional fracture related risk factors, new treatment options as well as real world studies demonstrating a much higher fracture rate than suggested by randomized clin...
Background: We used a database of patients treated at three hospitals to study the primary null hypothesis that thereare no factors associated with unplanned reoperations or adverse events after surgical repair for diaphyseal claviclefracture. Additionally we addressed the following secondary study questions: 1. What is the prevalence of unplannedreoperations or adverse events...
