The purpose of this study was to investigate serum levels of vitamin D in post-menopausal Korean women with a distal radius fracture (DRF) and to determine if there is any association between vitamin D levels and bone-related variables such as bone mineral densities (BMDs), serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and several bone turnover markers.The data of 104 postmenopausal women surgically treated...
One of the limiting factors in finding the best osteosynthesis approach in proximal humerus fractures is the current lack of information on the properties of the cancellous bone regions engaged by the implants fixing the epiphysis. The aim of this study is to assess the densitometric and mechanical characteristics of these regions when using a proximal humerus locking plate (PHLP).Nineteen PHLPs were...
Bone strength determines fracture risk and fixation strength of osteosynthesis implants. In vivo, bone strength is currently measured indirectly by quantifying bone mineral density (BMD) which is however only one determinant of the bone's biomechanical competence besides the bone's macro- and micro-architecture and tissue related parameters. We have developed a measurement principle (DensiProbe™ Hip)...
