Low-trauma fractures tend to cluster in time, and subsequent fractures have a role in increased morbidity and mortality in osteoporotic patients. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors of short-term subsequent non-vertebral fracture (NVF).Patients were included from the Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) which provides assessment for osteoporosis to all in-hospital patients admitted for...
Hip fractures are a burden to both society and the individual. The aim of this study was to describe the frequency of osteoporosis and the in-hospital treatment costs of patients with hip fractures admitted to Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. Patients with a hip fracture who were admitted to the Orthopedics and Traumatology wards between April 2003 and December 2006 were interviewed...
Areal BMD (aBMD) derived from DXA is currently the gold standard for diagnosis of osteoporosis. A biomechanical approach to fracture risk assessment comparing the ratio of applied load to bone strength, termed the factor of risk (Φ), may be useful to better identify patients at risk for fracture. We obtained 73 human cadaveric femurs (48 women and 25 men, aged 74.2±8.7 years, range 55–98 years), measured...
Osteoporosis and fracture risk increase exponentially in postmenopausal females. This places a significant burden in terms of morbidity, mortality and costs that are likely to increase with an ageing population. Despite this there is very limited data on pharmacological management of osteoporosis in this high risk group.To review the published literature on the clinical efficacy and safety of specific...
