Age-related fragility fractures are an enormous public health problem. Both acquisition of
bone mass during growth and bone loss associated with ageing affect fracture risk late in …

Background A distal forearm fracture is a very common injury causing both suffering and
substantial health care costs. The incidence of this fracture type seemed to increase …

Threats to bone health are increasingly a pediatric concern. Genetic or acquired disorders
can compromise gains in bone quantity and quality, leading to skeletal fragility early in life. 1 …

We aimed to investigate the methodologies on image acquisition of normative data of high-
resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in children …

High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) assesses both
volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and trabecular and cortical microarchitecture …

Childhood fracture is common, but whether it predicts adult fracture is not clear. Repeat
childhood fracture was associated with adult (≤ 45 years) fracture, and in women, lower …

Background The distal forearm fracture is the most common fracture in children. To allocate
health care resources and evaluate if prevention strategies have been successful, it is …

Fractures are common in otherwise healthy children and adolescents. They result from
trauma of varying severity. Some reflect a greater skeletal fragility. A long‐term implication of …

Background Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are inconsistently associated with osteoporotic
fractures. Barrett's oesophagus (BO) patients are treated with high PPI doses for prolonged …

One-third of children will sustain a fracture by the age of 17 years, and 25–35% of these will
be of the distal forearm. There is evidence that childhood fractures are linked to underlying …
