Disorientation and vertebral fractures

The Lancet, 1999
A 53-year-old man was admitted to hospital in July, 1998, with confusion and disorientation. His serum calcium was 3·7 mmol/L. After treatment with saline and intravenous pamidronate, his serum calcium returned to normal and his mental status improved.

The ISCD and Vertebral Fractures

Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2016
Some 30 years ago the diagnosis of osteoporosis relied primarily on the measurement of bone mineral density by DXA. More recently, however, it was recognized that vertebral fractures are an important predictor of future fractures and that they reflect some aspect of bone fragility not captured by BMD measurement.

Clinical relevance of diagnosing vertebral fractures by vertebral fracture assessment

Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2009
Low bone mineral density and the presence of vertebral fractures are independent predictors for future vertebral and non-vertebral fractures. Combining the conventional measurement of bone mineral density of spine and hips with the morphometry of the thoracal and lumbar vertebrae on lateral images using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scanners, a ...

Vertebral fracture epidemiology

Bone, 1996
Vertebral fractures are the most common but least understood of all osteoporotic fractures. Their study has been hampered by the lack of a common morphometric definition, and the fact that many vertebral fractures are asymptomatic and not clinically evident. Population-based radiographic surveys are therefore required for comparative studies.

Architecture and vertebral fracture

Calcified Tissue International, 1993
Bone strength is determined by mass density, structural arrangement, and the presence of microdamage. This presentation focuses on trabecular microstructure as an element of bone strength, particularly in the syndrome of vertebral compression fracture.

Percutaneous Treatment of Vertebral Fractures

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2017
The thoracolumbar junction and lumbosacral segment are the portions of the spinal column most prone to acute traumatic fractures. Multiple classifications and injury severity score systems have been published to standardize the management of patients, establishing stable/unstable and surgical/nonsurgical fractures.

Vertebroplasty for vertebral fracture

BMJ, 2011
On the basis of current evidence, cannot be recommended as the first line treatment In the linked meta-analysis of individual patient data (doi:10.1136/bmj.d3952), Staples and colleagues assess whether vertebroplasty for vertebral fracture is more effective than placebo in certain subgroups of people.1 Insufficiency fractures of the vertebra are a ...

Prevalent Vertebral Fracture and the Risk of Incident Vertebral Fracture

JAMA, 2008
To the Editor: In their study of long-term risk of incident vertebral fractures, Dr Cauley and colleagues concluded that older women with a prevalent vertebral fracture had a substantially increased absolute risk of an incident fracture, particularly if they had osteoporosis diagnosed by bone mineral density assessment.

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

Vertebral Fracture Assessment in Acromegaly

Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2013
Acromegaly has been recognized as a secondary cause of osteoporosis and a risk factor for vertebral fractures (1). Data on bone mineral density (BMD) in acromegalic patients may diverge owing to the effects on bone of different associated conditions (1,2).
