Fragility Fractures

2023
Fragility fractures are pathological fractures that are the clinical outcome of osteoporosis, a major global public health problem, the cause of significant pain, distress and loss of independence for patients, and a significant challenge facing orthopaedic trauma services.

Management of fragility fractures in India

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2019
Osteoporosis and fragility fractures have become a major healthcare challenge globally in the recent years. However, this problem has only recently been accorded its due importance in developing countries such as India. India is a model case study for the management of osteoporosis and fragility fractures in a resource-limited setting, as it harbors a ...

Haemorrhage in fragility fractures of the pelvis

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2014
Fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP) are one of the most visible and debilitating consequences of osteoporosis. In contrast to pelvic ring fractures of the young, fragility fractures are caused by falls from a standing height or even by repetitive physiological loads.

A Comprehensive Approach to Fragility Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, 2011
To address the cause of fragility fractures, an understanding of the determinants of bone strength is needed. Identifying patients at increased fracture risk should take into account bone quantity, quality, and turnover. Postmenopausal osteoporosis remains the most common derangement of bone strength; however, decreased bone strength can also result ...

Osteosynthesis of fragility fractures.

Aging clinical and experimental research, 2011
The deepening knowledge about bone pathophysiology, together with the development of less invasive bone implants, fitted for the treatment of fragility fractures, the continuous advances in the creation of osteoconductive and osteoinductive biomaterials, the availability of bone active agents, capable of modulating fracture healing, actually represent ...

The incidence of fragility fractures in Italy

Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2013
Osteoporosis can significantly impact on the risk of developing a fracture. Thus, fragility fractures represent a challenge for health professionals and decision makers of the twenty-first century. The aim of this work is to review the literature concerning osteoporotic fractures in Italy in terms of incidence, rate of hospitalization, relative risk of

Fragility fractures of the acetabulum

Orthopaedics and Trauma, 2018
Abstract There are limited epidemiological data dedicated to geriatric acetabular fractures. The incidence in individuals older than 60 years of age has more than doubled in the past three decades and expected to double further over the next 20 years. These fractures represent a challenging subset of acetabular trauma patients to treat.

The Use of Distal Ulnar Hounsfield Units to Predict Future Fragility Fracture Risk.

Journal of Hand Surgery-American Volume, 2018
PURPOSE Distal ulnar Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements obtained from computed tomography (CT) scans of the wrist can be used to accurately screen for low bone mineral density.

Osteoporosis and Fragility Fractures.

Rhode Island medical journal (2013), 2022
Osteoporosis and fragility fractures (FFs) are closely intertwined as the former is a common predisposing factor to the latter. This causal relationship is due to low bone density of osteoporosis and compromised bone microarchitecture, leading to structural failure, decreased ability to withstand applied stresses, and increased propensity to fracture ...
