One third of 218 men and half of 1,576 women with low-energy distal radius fractures met
the bone mineral density (BMD) criteria for osteoporosis treatment. A large proportion of …

Background In general there is a lack of data on osteoporosis and fracture in men; this also
includes low-energy distal radius fractures. The objectives of this study were to examine …

There is a lack of data on the prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with distal radius
fractures occurring at the various seasons. The prevalence of osteoporosis is high, both in …

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate osteoporosis diagnosis and treatment on the
basis of medical history, at hospital discharge, and 6–12 months after discharge, as well as …

PURPOSE: To assess age-and site-related bone mineral density (BMD) values in Korean
female patients with a distal radius fracture, and to compare them with those of the …

Background: Osteoporotic fragility fractures frequently occur at the distal part of the radius.
This suggests that initial osteoporosis evaluation at this site may inform screening and …

Background It is mechanically plausible that osteoporosis leads to more severe peripheral
fractures, but studies investigating associations between BMD and radiographically verified …

To evaluate the bone mass by bone density measurements in patients with distal radius
fracture, a prospective open case-control study was carried out in the county of Uppsala …

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a devastating problem leading to significant morbidity and
mortality. Patients with osteoporosis usually present with fractures from low-energy trauma …
