  • One systematic review involving older community-dwelling patients or nursing home residents found no significant difference in hip fractures after six months to two years between hip protectors and no protectors in RCTs where individuals were randomized. (aafp.org)
  • pQCT measures of greater calf muscle density and CSA were both associated with lower incidence of fractures in older men, but only muscle density remained an independent risk factor for fracture after accounting for fn BMD. (lu.se)
  • OBJECTIVE: Describe rates of hip fracture-related emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations, and deaths among older adults (aged 65years) in the United States. (cdc.gov)
  • METHODS: Data from the 2019 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project and National Vital Statistics System were used to calculate rates of hip fracture-related ED visits, hospitalizations, and deaths among older adults by select characteristics and mechanism of injury. (cdc.gov)
  • DISCUSSION: Most hip fractures among older adults are fall-related. (cdc.gov)
  • Anesthetic drugs have been linked with the development of postoperative delirium, but it's unclear whether the incidence of delirium is related to the use of regional or general anesthesia. (nursingcenter.com)
  • The authors note that the incidence of postoperative delirium was lower than expected and likely attributable to predisposing factors related to age, physical status, culture, and health care systems, although missed diagnoses can't be ruled out. (nursingcenter.com)
  • Bone biopsies conducted on patients who, over a long period, have been given bisphosphonates for treatment of osteoporosis and who had suffered fractures, detected the presence of giant osteoclasts suggesting that prolonged use could cause osteoclastic mutations and bone fractures 8 . (bvsalud.org)
  • METHODS: This is a cross-sectional comparative study of patients with hip fracture, included in 2008 (n = 78) and 2018 (n = 76) at Örebro University Hospital. (bvsalud.org)

  • One systematic review involving postmenopausal women found that compared with control (i.e, placebo, calcium, or calcium plus vitamin D) risedronate reduced vertebral and nonvertebral fractures after four years. (aafp.org)
  • One randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving women with prior vertebral fractures found that parathyroid hormone reduced the proportion of women with vertebral and nonvertebral fractures compared with placebo. (aafp.org)
  • One systematic review involving postmenopausal women found that etidronate reduced vertebral fractures compared with control (placebo, calcium, or calcium plus vitamin D) over two years but found no significant difference in nonvertebral fractures. (aafp.org)
  • Calcium Plus Vitamin D . One large RCT involving women 69 to 106 years of age living in nursing homes found that calcium plus vitamin D 3 reduced hip fractures and all nonvertebral fractures after 18 months to three years compared with placebo. (aafp.org)
  • One systematic review involving postmenopausal women found that calcitonin reduced vertebral fractures compared with placebo one to five years after treatment but found no significant difference between calcitonin and placebo in nonvertebral fractures. (aafp.org)
  • One systematic review involving postmenopausal women found no significant difference between calcium supplementation and placebo in vertebral or nonvertebral fractures after one and one half to four years. (aafp.org)
  • Two systematic reviews and two subsequent RCTs provided insufficient evidence about the effects of hormone therapy on nonvertebral fractures. (aafp.org)
  • The greater increase in the projected number of hip fractures in men than in women "could be [because] osteoporosis is commonly perceived as a 'woman's disease,'" he speculated. (medscape.com)
  • Although all three types of fractures are commonly referred to simply as hip fractures, the above distinctions between them are important because the anatomy, prognosis, and management are different for each type. (medscape.com)
  • It occurred to me to wonder: has there been a significant increase in osteoporosis and bone fractures around the world? (stopumts.nl)
