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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Dietary habits and fragility fractures

Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases
Fragility fractures (FF) are caused by low-energy trauma in patients with osteoporosis (Op) and are associated with a high risk of disability and mortality. Poor nutrition and unhealthy dietary habits are common risk factors for Op, but how they affect FF is unknown.

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 ...

Osteosynthesis systems in fragility fracture.

Aging clinical and experimental research, 2011
Atraumatic fractures, more commonly known as "fragility fractures", have as their basis the decreased bone strength due to osteoporosis. The major technical problem is the difficulty in obtaining secure fixation in osteoporotic bone, because the pull-out strength of implant is significantly reduced.
