Radial fracture as an indicator of osteoporosis: a 10-year follow-up study

J D Gay. Can Med Assoc J. .

Abstract

Of 136 patients studied at an average of 10.6 years after a distal radial fracture, 37.6% of the 109 women and 7.4% of the 27 men suffered a subsequent fracture. "Osteoporosis-related" fractures accounted for the majority of subsequent fractures sustained by the women. The prognostic significance of distal radial fracture in the adult female is discussed.
