One in two women has a fracture after the age of 50;1 most will be osteoporotic. Fracture incidence will probably increase as people live longer. After hip fracture there is 20% mortality within three months2 and increased disability, with >50% of people who previously walked unaided needing aids and >50% requiring help at home.3 Morbidity, disability and dependence increase progressively with ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE INVEST is a recently published double-blind placebo controlled randomized trial that demonstrated similar improvements in pain between blinded vertebroplasty and sham-vertebroplasty groups. LABEL is a trial determining the efficacy of pain relief of an injection of lidocaine and bupivacaine at the site of painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in unblinded p...
The Incidence of New Vertebral Compression Fractures in Women after Kyphoplasty and Factors Involved
PURPOSE To identify the incidence of new vertebral compression fractures in women after kyphoplasty and to analyze influential factors in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and eleven consecutive female patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) underwent kyphoplasty at 137 levels. These patients were followed for 15.2 months postoperatively. For the surv...
The occurrence of osteoporotic fractures may seriously compromise the quality of life of lung transplant recipients. However, at present, the true risk of osteoporosis in such patients is unknown. We therefore prospectively evaluated bone mass changes in patients undergoing pulmonary transplantation. Bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN) and femoral shaft (FS), as w...
BACKGROUND AND METHODS Fractures in elderly populations result from the combination of falls and osteoporosis. We report a systematic review of studies indexed in PubMed reporting annual rates of low-trauma falls and associated osteoporotic fractures among older community-dwelling people (age ≥ 50 years). An osteoporotic fracture was defined as either a fracture resulting from a low-impact fall...
Falls are one of the most common geriatric problems threatening the independence of older persons. Elderly patients tend to fall more often and have a greater tendency to fracture their bones. Fractures occur particularly in osteoporotic people due to increased bone fragility, resulting in considerable reduction of quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. This article provides information for...
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a multi-organ disorder affecting many types of connective tissues, including bone and cartilage. Certain skeletal changes are more prevalent in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic individuals. A possible association of diabetes mellitus and lumbar spinal stenosis has been raised. OBJECTIVES To compare the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in patients with spin...
As the osteoporotic patient population grows, various periprosthetic fractures that cannot be classified appropriately can occur around the femur after hip arthroplasty. We experienced two cases of periprosthetic insufficiency fractures at subtrochanteric area of the femurs around radiographically loose cemented femoral stems. The ages of the patients were 75 years and 83 years. Both patients c...
