Background: Osteoporosis is a common condition among the elderly population, and is associated with an increased risk of fracture. One of the most common fragility fractures involve the distal radius, and are associated with risk of subsequent fragility fracture. Early treatment with bisphosphonates has been suggested to decrease the population hip fracture burden. However, there have been no p...

background: the main purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between serum vitamin d and the status of bone mineral density in patients with low-energy hip and distal radius fracture. methods: this retrospective case-control study was performed between january 2013 and january 2014. participants aged 55 years or older were divided to case group including 85 patients with low-ene...

introduction: distal radius fractures are a common traumatic injury, particularly in the elderly population. in the present study we examined the effectiveness of ultrasound guidance in the reduction of distal radius fractures in adult patients presenting to emergency department (ed). methods: in this prospective case control study, eligible patients were adults older than 18 years who presente...

background: considering the importance of an early diagnosis and proper decision-making in regards to the treatment of pediatric distal radius and elbow fractures, this study examines emergency medicine specialists’ accuracy in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. methods: from 2012 and 2013, children less than 14 years old who were referred to an academic hospital emergency departmen...

OBJECTIVE Hearing impairment has been suggested to increase the risk of falls. However, most previous studies were conducted in an older population without classification of the fracture regions. This study aimed to delineate the risk of each fracture type in all age populations. METHODS The Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort was collected from 2002 to 2013. A tot...

Introduction Low-energy distal radius fractures normally occur earlier in life than hip and spine fractures and may be the first presentation of osteoporosis. Few studies have addressed the association between distal radius fracture and osteoporosis. Vitamin D inadequacy is associated with an increased risk of hip fractures, but the association with distal radius fractures has not been explored...

background: fractures of distal radius are one of the most common fractures seen by physicians and account for 20% of all fractures seen in the emergency room. various factors contribute in secondary displacement of fracture fragments after anatomic or near anatomic close reduction and cast immobilization in distal radius fractures. this study was designed to examine the correlation between rad...
