The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1965
1. A motor-cyclist's temporary loss of ten inches (25 centimetres) of femoral shaft and its replacement are recorded. 2. The mechanism of injury is considered. 3. The management of extensive bone loss is discussed. 4. Attention is drawn to the importance of retained periosteum and its contribution to healing in such injuries.

Calcitonin and postmenopausal bone loss
Experimental Gerontology, 1990In order to establish the role of calcitonin (CT) in postmenopausal bone loss, we studied CT metabolism in 25 pre- and postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal women presented a highly significant reduction of CT basal levels compared to premenopausal females (p less than 0.01). Also, production rates of CT in osteoporotics were significantly lower than in

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1982
A survey was done of aging changes in compact and trabecular bone. During the past decade, noninvasive methods have demonstrated similar results for compact bone in large samples. Aging decreases of 3%/decade begin at about age 40 in both sexes and continue, but in women, an additional loss occurs after menopause, bringing their total rate of decrease ...

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2013
Traumatic bone loss in hand surgery is challenging for the patient as well as the doctor. Whereas the patient is threatened with a possible amputation or severe disability, the hand surgeon focuses on reconstruction, restoration of the function, bony union, and appearance of the injured hand.

When Garn et al. (1967) concluded that aging bone loss is universal, they were referring to the human species. Subsequent research has shown that this conclusion extends to all other species of vertebrates so far examined, from laboratory rodents to non-human species living in the wild.

Total joint arthroplasty of the hip and knee has become one of the most frequent and rewarding operations in orthopaedic surgery. Worldwide more than one million such prostheses are implanted annually. With the steady rise in life expectancy, long-term complications related to implant loosening and peri-implant fractures are on the rise.

Drugs may cause bone loss by lowering sex steroid levels (e.g., aromatase inhibitors in breast cancer, GnRH agonists in prostate cancer, or depot medroxyprogestone acetate - DMPA), interfere with vitamin D levels (liver inducing anti-epileptic drugs), or directly by toxic effects on bone cells (chemotherapy, phenytoin, or thiazolidinedions, which ...

Assessment of bone density and bone loss
Osteoporosis International, 1996Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry has become the standard for the evaluation of osteoporosis. It is useful both for identifying those people who are going to be at risk of fracture in the future, and for monitoring therapy when the measurements are made at the lumbar spine.
