Distal radius fracture: An opportunity for osteoporosis intervention [PDF]
Background Distal radius fractures have been reported as a predictor of subsequent osteoporotic fragility fractures. This retrospective study evaluated the proportion of patients with distal radius fractures at a government hospital in Hong Kong who ...

Distal radius fracture - Supination underestimates dorsal tilt in distal radius fracture radiographs: a case report. [PDF]
Distal radius fractures are one of the most prevalent fracture types. Dorsal tilt of the articular surface of the distal radius as assessed on the lateral radiograph is often used in determining the correct treatment method.

Prediction of risk of fracture in the tibia due to altered bone mineral density distribution resulting from disuse : a finite element study [PDF]
The disuse-related bone loss that results from immobilisation following injury shares characteristics with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and the aged, with decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) leading to weakening of the bone and increased risk

Validity of distal radius fracture diagnoses in the Swedish National Patient Register
Distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures in adults. More research is needed to establish evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to generate cost-effective and fair fracture treatment.

Fractures of the distal radius (Colles' fracture) [PDF]
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Although Colles' fracture is a common clinical situation for the orthopedist, we did not find any information in the literature that would allow safe decision-making on the best treatment for each fracture type. The aim of the present study was to investigate Brazilian orthopedists' opinions regarding the main aspects of ...

Background It is mechanically plausible that osteoporosis leads to more severe peripheral fractures, but studies investigating associations between BMD and radiographically verified complexity of distal radius fractures are scarce.

Distal radius triplane fracture [PDF]
A triplane fracture is so named because of the three planes traversed by the fracture line. These are physeal fractures that result from injury during the final phase of maturation and cessation of growth. This fracture pattern typically involves the distal tibia. We present a rare case of a triplane fracture involving the distal radius.

UK DRAFFT : a randomised controlled trial of percutaneous fixation with kirschner wires versus volar locking-plate fixation in the treatment of adult patients with a dorsally displaced fracture of the distal radius [PDF]
Background: Fractures of the distal radius are extremely common injuries in adults. However, the optimal management remains controversial. In general, fractures of the distal radius are treated non-operatively if the bone fragments can be held in ...

Distal radius nonunion after volar locking plate fixation of a distal radius fracture : a case report [PDF]
2017-11We describe a 59-year-old man who had nonunion of a right distal radius fracture after volar locking plate fixation. He underwent open reduction and internal fixation with a volar locking plate system for a dorsally displaced, unstable distal ...
