Imminent risk of fracture after fracture [PDF]

open access: yesOsteoporosis International, 2016
The risk of major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) after a first MOF is increased over the whole duration of follow-up, but the imminent risk is even higher. If the acute increment in risk in the few years following MOF is amenable to therapeutic intervention, then immediate short-term treatments may provide worthwhile clinical dividends in a very cost ...

Prediction of risk of fracture in the tibia due to altered bone mineral density distribution resulting from disuse: a finite element study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The disuse-related bone loss that results from immobilisation following injury shares characteristics with osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and the aged, with decreases in bone mineral density leading to weakening of the bone and increased risk of ...

Fracture Risk in CKD [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2013
An increased risk of fracture, in particular hip fracture, has been consistently observed in studies of patients with ESRD ([1][1]–[4][2]). However, whether the mild to moderate reductions in renal function that are common in aged populations ([5][3]) increase the risk of fracture is less ...
