  • Title: [Comparison of bone density in various skeletal parts in women during peri and postmenopause with previous Colles fracture].
    Author: Bieńkowska R, Hoszowski K, Tałajko A, Lorenc RS.
    Journal: Pol Tyg Lek; 1995 Nov; 50(44-47):27-9. PubMed ID: 8643419.
    Abstract:
    Forearm fracture of Colles type is one of the most frequently observed osteoporotic fractures in women in postmenopausal period. It is proved that the group of women who had Celles fractures (n = 63) has lower bone mineral density in all measured sites except hip comparing to the controls (n = 53). Osteopenia found involves trabecular bone. Women with previous forearm fracture can be treated as the group of increased risk for spine and femoral neck fracture in the future.
