Are diabetes microvascular complications risk factors for fragility fracture?

Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity, 2021
Purpose of review We describe relationships between microvascular complications and bone fragility fracture in the context of diabetes. We highlight gaps in knowledge and suggest areas of further study.

Epidemiology of Fragility Fractures

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2014
As the world population of older adults-in particular those over age 85-increases, the incidence of fragility fractures will also increase. It is predicted that the worldwide incidence of hip fractures will grow to 6.3 million yearly by 2050. Fractures result in significant financial and personal costs.

Osteoporosis and fragility fractures

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2010
The prevalence of osteoporosis is expected to increase with the ageing of the world's population. This article reviews the epidemiology, risk factors and health burden of osteoporosis. In the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2005, osteoporosis is studied as a risk factor for fracture by considering the bone-mineral-density (BMD) measurement as the ...

Fragility Fracture Network-Japan: The challenge of establishment of a national hip fracture database and successful achievement of nationwide health system change for hip fracture care in Japan.

Injury
BACKGROUND In April 2022, a new reimbursement scheme for hip fracture was implemented by the Japanese health ministry. Japan is one of the world's most aged societies, facing a significant, rapidly growing burden of osteoporosis and fragility fractures ...

Nonspinal Fragility Fractures

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2016
This article focuses on nonspinal fragility or insufficiency fractures. Fragility fractures occur when normal levels of energy are applied to weakened bone, and they normally represent spontaneous fractures or traumatic fractures from minimal energy trauma that would not normally result in fracture in healthy people.

Diabetes, fracture, and bone fragility

Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2007
Recent studies have added to the evidence that type 1 and type 2 diabetes are associated with increased risk of hip fracture and other fractures. More frequent falls probably account for some of this increased risk, but reduced bone strength may also play a role. Although type 1 diabetes is associated with lower bone density, those with type 2 diabetes

Osteoporosis and fragility fractures: Vertebral fractures

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2013
The incidence of vertebral fragility fractures and deformity increase steeply with age. Every sixth woman and every twelfth man will sustain a symptomatic vertebral fracture. Vertebral fractures result in pain, functional disability and decreased quality of life, which may last for several years, and may also affect mortality. The patient with an acute

Fragility fractures: the clinical pathway

Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2013
The clinical management of fragility fracture is simple but complex at the same time. Patients are different from one another, and advancing age increases the prevalence of comorbidities and conditions that can impair bone quality and healing, while increasing the risk of falls and fractures.

Clinical research in fragility fractures

Injury, 2018
The Fragility Fracture Network is coordinating international initiatives to promote collaborative research, multidisciplinary care, and the secondary prevention of fragility fractures. This review discusses the use of national audit processes and the collection of common outcomes to facilitate research, as well as the key role played by patient and ...

Physiotherapy following fragility fractures

Injury, 2018
Physiotherapy can play a vital role in the pathway of care of people after fragility fracture and includes interventions of early mobilisation and prescription of structured exercise programmes for maximising functional recovery and reducing the risk of falls and further fractures.
