Fragility fracture identifies patients at imminent risk for subsequent fracture: real-world retrospective database study in Ontario, Canada

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background The secondary fracture prevention gap in the osteoporosis field has been previously described as a ‘crisis’. Closing this gap is increasingly important in the context of accumulating evidence showing that an incident fragility fracture is ...

Mortality in older adults following a fragility fracture: real-world retrospective matched-cohort study in Ontario

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background Recent studies are lacking reports on mortality after non-hip fractures in adults aged > 65. Methods This retrospective, matched-cohort study used de-identified health services data from the publicly funded healthcare system in Ontario, Canada,

Fragility Fracture: 10 Commandments. [PDF]

Indian J Orthop
Fragility fractures are a major health concern. It is a fracture that occurs from a low-impact event, such as a fall from standing height or less typically due to weakened bones. These fractures are most commonly associated with conditions like osteoporosis, where the bone density is reduced, making the bones more susceptible to get fractured ...

Augmented osteosynthesis in fragility fracture

Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research, 2023
Due to poor bone quality and complexity, some fractures are difficult to treat, with high risk of failure. Moreover, general health is often poor in elderly patients with multiple comorbidity and poor compliance, necessitating perfect first-line management to avoid re-operation.

Insufficient Deep-Colored Vegetable Intake Is Associated With Higher Fragility Fracture Rate in Postmenopausal Taiwanese Women

International Journal of Gerontology, 2013
Background: Osteoporosis-related fragility fracture is a major health issue in older adults. This study has been developed to investigate the relationship of lifestyle factors with fragility fracture prevalence in postmenopausal Taiwanese women. Methods:

Muscle parameters in fragility fracture risk prediction in older adults: A scoping review. [PDF]

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle
Half of osteoporotic fractures occur in patients with normal/osteopenic bone density or at intermediate or low estimated risk. Muscle measures have been shown to contribute to fracture risk independently of bone mineral density.

Association of neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio with fragility fracture in osteoporotic patients: a case-control study [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Systematic inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. Neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHR) has been considered as a novel inflammatory marker.
