Children and adolescents who sustain a distal forearm fracture (DFF) owing to mild, but not
moderate, trauma have reduced bone strength and cortical thinning at the distal radius and …

Although distal forearm fractures (DFFs) are common during childhood and adolescence, it
is unclear whether they reflect underlying skeletal deficits or are simply a consequence of …

We recently reported impaired bone strength in girls with low‐to moderate‐energy distal
radius fractures (Fx) compared with girls with no history of forearm fractures (Non‐Fx). We …

Distal forearm fractures are among the most common fractures during childhood, but it
remains unclear whether they predict an increased fracture risk later in life. We studied a …

Forearm fractures are common during growth. We studied bone strength in youth with a
recent forearm fracture. In girls, suboptimal bone strength was associated with fractures. In …

Children who sustain a forearm fracture when injured have lower bone density throughout
their skeleton, and have a smaller cortical area and a lower strength index in their radius …

The incidence of distal forearm fractures peaks during the adolescent growth spurt, but the
structural basis for this is unclear. Thus, we studied healthy 6‐to 21‐yr‐old girls (n= 66) and …

Background: Forearm fractures are common in the pediatric population and are mostly
treated by cast immobilization. The purposes of this study were first to determine whether …

DXA measurements in 90 children and adolescents with repeated forearm fractures showed
reduced ultradistal radius BMC and BMD values and elevated adiposity, suggesting site …

Predictors of childhood fractures have not been investigated previously. This study was
undertaken to determine whether a previous history of forearm fracture, low bone mineral …
