“…However, in two studies where heel BMD was used, no differences were found between patients with a distal radius fracture and controls [38,39]. The impact of low BMD in younger and older age groups is inconsistent in previous studies.…”

Every second to every third fracture patient met the present BMD criteria for osteoporosis treatment. Because a large proportion of distal radius fracture patients did not have osteoporosis, treatment decisions should not be based on fracture risk assessment without bone densitometry. Thus, all distal radius fracture patients >or=50 years should be referred to bone densitometry, and if indicated, offered medical treatment.

“…[13][14][15][16][17][18] Nevertheless, a few studies have found no difference between patients and controls. 19,20 Furthermore, the findings of previous studies have been inconsistent regarding the impact of a low BMD in younger and older patients. 14,21 In addition, information on BMD in Asian patients with a distal radius fracture is limited because of the use of a nonstandard peripheral BMD 13 or the lack of a comparison with normal controls.…”

“…Nevertheless, the relationship between distal radius fracture and bone mineral density is still controversial, especially in the Asian population. While several studies from Western countries showed that the average bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with wrist fracture were lower than those without fracture [ [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] ], such a difference was not replicated in other studies [ 11 , 12 ]. In a case-control study involving over 200 postmenopausal Asian women with distal radius fractures, the patients had lower hip BMD, while lumbar spine BMD and trabecular bone score (TBS), a parameter that possibly indicates bone microarchitecture, was found to be the same as age-matched controls [ 13 ].…”

Objectives To compare bone mineral density (BMD) in Thai postmenopausal women with and without distal radius fracture, and to investigate the role of vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) in diagnosing osteoporosis after distal radius fracture. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Thai postmenopausal women with and without distal radius fracture. BMDs of the femoral neck (FN), total hip (TH), lumbar spine (LS), and VFA were obtained within 2 weeks of injury. BMD were compared between groups. Participants were classified into osteoporosis, osteopenia or normal using BMD alone, and BMD plus VFA, where a mere presence of vertebral compression fracture indicated osteoporosis. Results Fifty postmenopausal women with distal radius fractures and 111 non-fracture postmenopausal women participated. The mean BMD was significantly lower at all sites in the fracture group (FN BMD 0.590 ± 0.075 vs 0.671 ± 0.090, p = 0.007; TH BMD 0.742 ± 0.103 vs 0.828 ± 0.116, P = 0.009; LS BMD 0.799 ± 0.107 vs 0.890 ± 0.111, P = 0.009 in the fracture vs non-fracture group respectively). VFA increased the prevalence of osteoporosis from 16 (32%) to 23 (46%) in the fracture group, and 7 (6.31%) to 17 (16.22%) in the non-fracture group, with a number needed to treat 9. Conclusions Postmenopausal women with distal radius fractures had lower BMD. Incorporating VFA into diagnosis of osteoporosis increased the prevalence of osteoporosis in both fracture and non-fracture groups. Postmenopausal women aged 50 years or older with distal radius fracture are a good target for the investigation of osteoporosis.
