Fragility fractures of the pelvis [PDF]

Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2012
Fragility fractures of the pelvis are common and the incidence is increasing with the aging population. The primary risk factor is osteoporosis. Diagnosis is challenging and advanced imaging with computed tomography (CT), bone scintigraphy, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful.

Fragile without fractures [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2000
Despite being the commonest inherited disease of bone, osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare cause of fractures in daily clinical practice. Its prevalence in the general population is 1 to 5 per 100 000. The clinical spectrum ranges from mild forms with relatively few fractures and normal mobility to the lethal form, with multiple intrauterine ...

Machine Learning Algorithms: Prediction and Feature Selection for Clinical Refracture after Surgically Treated Fragility Fracture

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022
Background: The number of patients with fragility fracture has been increasing. Although the increasing number of patients with fragility fracture increased the rate of fracture (refracture), the causes of refracture are multifactorial, and its ...

Socio-economic inequalities in fragility fracture incidence: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 61 observational studies

Osteoporosis International, 2021
Individuals with low socio-economic status (SES) have a more than 25% higher risk of fragility fractures than individuals with high SES. Body mass index and lifestyle appear to mediate the effect of SES on fracture risk.

Hip Fractures in Malta: Are we Missing an Opportunity?

The Surgery Journal, 2021
Introduction Osteoporosis is a bone disease that is both preventable and treatable. It usually becomes evident when a fragility fracture occurs. Unfortunately, most studies show that only a small percentage of individuals at increased risk of fracture ...

A retrospective observational study of osteoporosis management after a fragility fracture in primary care

Archives of Osteoporosis, 2022
Summary In many countries, osteoporosis is predominantly managed by primary care physicians; however, management after a fragility fracture has not been widely investigated. We describe osteoporosis care gaps in a real-world patient cohort.

Best Performance Parameters of HR‐pQCT to Predict Fragility Fracture: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2021
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and bone structural deterioration that may result in fragility fractures. Use of bone imaging modalities to accurately predict fragility fractures is always an important issue ...

The potential of assessment based on the WHO framework of intrinsic capacity in fragility fracture prevention

Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2022
The risk of falls associated with population ageing and the burden of chronic diseases increase the risk of fragility fractures. Globally, a large increase in the numbers of people sustaining fragility fractures is predicted.

A retrospective study of end-stage kidney disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis with renal osteodystrophy-associated fragility fractures

BMC Nephrology, 2021
Background Nephropathy associated metabolic disorder induces high incidence of fragility fracture in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. As the risk factors and prognosis of fragility fracture in ESRD patients are unclear, more research is needed ...
