Evaluation of trabecular bone score in patients with a distal radius fracture

“…First, frailty of the distal radius may be mainly associated with the cortical compartment, which cannot be assessed by the lumbar spine TBS. It has been reported that patients with a displaced DRF have lower cortical bone density than that of patients with a nondisplaced DRF [26]. In addition, bicortical thickness of the distal radius on a radiograph and cortical thickness of the distal radius on HR-pQCT are studied as indicators of bone quality [24,27].…”

Cast-treated distal radius fractures: a prospective cohort study of radiological outcomes and their association with impaired calcaneal bone mineral density

“…Recently, there has been an increased interest in the possible relationship between cortical bone density and severity of non-vertebral fractures [32][33][34]. Xie et al [33] found that cortical bone density measured with peripheral quantitative computer tomography was lower in patients with displaced than those with non-displaced distal radius fractures but no difference was found in femoral neck and lumbar spine DXA-measured BMD. Dhainaut et al [34] found a week correlation between cortical BMD measured with digital X-ray radiogrammetry and severity of distal radius fracture in terms of ulnar variance and volar tilt, but no association between fracture severity and DXA-measured hip and spine BMD was found.…”

“…Although the association between low BMD and risk of sustaining distal radius fracture is well known, studies of the possible association between BMD and severity of distal radius fracture have reported weak association or inconsistent results [27][28][29][30][31]. Recently, there has been an increased interest in the possible relationship between cortical bone density and severity of non-vertebral fractures [32][33][34]. Xie et al [33] found that cortical bone density measured with peripheral quantitative computer tomography was lower in patients with displaced than those with non-displaced distal radius fractures but no difference was found in femoral neck and lumbar spine DXA-measured BMD.…”

Anterior fracture displacement in Colles’ fractures after Kapandji wiring in women over 59 years

“…In displaced distal radius fractures, cortical bone density is lower than in non-displaced fractures [24], and the severity of the fracture increases with advancing osteopaenia [12]. It may be more difficult to obtain and maintain a good reduction of osteoporotic fractures.…”
