CONTEXT The low bone mineral density (BMD) and alterations in bone geometry observed in patients with Turner syndrome (TS) are likely caused by hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and/or by haploinsufficiency of the SHOX gene. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare BMD, bone geometry, and strength at the radius between prepubertal girls with TS and children with isolated SHOX deficiency (SHOX-D) t...

The goal of this study was to characterize longitudinal changes in bone microarchitecture and function in women treated with an established antifracture therapeutic. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, 53 early postmenopausal women with low bone density (age = 56 ± 4 years; femoral neck T-score = -1.5 ± 0.6) were monitored by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed to...

bone has a capability to repair itself when it is fractured. repair involves the generation of intermediatetissues, such as fibrous connective tissue, cartilage and woven bone, before final bone healing can occur. theprocess of cartilage-to-bone transition (cbt) is a key for the achievement of rigid bone healing duringfracture repair. we tested this potential for elastic cartilage using a long ...

Low bone density is a growing concern in aging men with hemophilia and may result in high-morbidity fragility fractures. Using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), we demonstrate low trabecular and cortical bone density contributing to lower volumetric bone mineral density (BMD) at both distal radius and tibia in patients with hemophilia compared with age- and ...

In 100 patients with various types of endocrine dysfunction, we measured bone mineral density (BMD) at the midradius (greater than 95% cortical bone) and distal radius (75% cortical and 25% trabecular bone) by single photon absorptiometry and at the lumbar spine (greater than 66% trabecular bone) using the new technique of dual photon absorptiometry. BMD in each endocrine disorder deviated in a...

background: there are multiple methods for acceleration of bone healing. bone marrow has been shown to contain osteoprogenitor cells.   objective: to determine the effect of percutaneous bone marrow injection on bone healing.   methods: 15 mature, 2-kg-weighing white new zealand rabbits from both sexes were randomized into 3 groups: group i: only osteotomy of right radius was performed and a 5 ...

OBJECTIVES A longitudinal study was conducted to investigate the relationships of the change in radius bone mineral density for seven years with lifestyle, body measurement data and laboratory data. METHODS The subjects of this study were 191 female employees working in an LSI manufacturing factory in Japan. Bone mineral density was measured on the radius of their nondominant side using DXA (...

Colles' fractures (fractures of the distal radius) are extremely common in the elderly. These fractures tend to result in displacement in elderly people because they have osteoporotic bone. Fracture displacement in the elderly, however, does not necessarily result in functional impairment. This review looks at the current literature on distal radius fractures in the elderly and the treatment op...

Suday, Sptem er 5, 2016 CONCLUSION: Dorsal bridge plate fixation of distal radius fractures restores preoperative physiologic measures of the radius, ulna, and carpus. No significant carpal translocation occurred during distal bridge plate fixation to the 2nd or 3rd metacarpal bone. While additional studies are needed, fixation to the 2nd metacarpal is preferred as it does not translocate the w...
