Comparison of osteoporosis pharmacotherapy fracture rates: Analysis of a marketScan® claims database cohort [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Several different classes of medications have been shown to be efficacious at preventing fractures in patients with osteoporosis. No study has compared real world efficacy at preventing fractures between all currently approved medications ...

The With Or Without Olecranon K-wire (WOW OK) Trial of tension band wire fixation versus cerclage fixation without K-wires in displaced stable olecranon fractures: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

open access: yesTrials, 2023
Background Displaced olecranon fractures with a stable elbow joint are classified as Mayo type 2a or 2b and are commonly operated with tension band wiring, i.e. two K-wires and a cerclage.

Bone remodeling: an operational process ensuring survival and bone mechanical competence

open access: yesBone Research, 2022
Bone remodeling replaces old and damaged bone with new bone through a sequence of cellular events occurring on the same surface without any change in bone shape.

Impact of generic alendronate cost on the cost-effectiveness of osteoporosis screening and treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Introduction: Since alendronate became available in generic form in the Unites States in 2008, its price has been decreasing. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of alendronate cost on the cost-effectiveness of osteoporosis ...

Genetics of osteoporosis [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2007
Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component characterized by reduced bone mass and an increased risk of fragility fractures. Twin and family studies have shown that the heritability of bone mineral density and other determinants of fracture risk, such as ultrasound properties of bone, skeletal geometry, and bone turnover, is high ...

Assessing osteoporosis in the young adult [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Osteoporosis in the young adult is a relatively rare phenomenon, and its diagnosis needs careful assessment of the affected person. The emphasis in the assessment of bone health is gradually shifting from a simple quantitative assessment of bone mineral ...

Osteoporosis [PDF]

open access: yesPostgraduate Medical Journal, 2002
Abstract Osteoporosis is characterised by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and consequent increase in fracture risk. It is a common condition affecting one in three women and one in 12 men, resulting in substantial morbidity, excess mortality, and health and social ...

Mechanical behavior of osteoporotic bone at sub-lamellar length scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Osteoporosis is a disease known to promote bone fragility but the effect on the mechanical properties of bone material, which is independent of geometric effects, is particularly unclear.

Ferroptosis: A New Regulatory Mechanism in Osteoporosis

open access: yesOxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2022
Osteoporosis can be caused by a multitude of factors and is defined by a decrease in bone density and mass caused by the destruction of bone microstructure, resulting in increased bone brittleness.
