Assessing the Relationship Between Bone Density and Loss of Reduction in Nonsurgical Distal Radius Fracture Treatment

Assessing the Relationship Between Bone Density and Loss of Reduction in Nonsurgical Distal Radius Fracture Treatment

Whether low bone mineral density affects loss of reduction for distal radius fractures (DRFs) managed without surgery is unknown. Our purpose was to understand how bone mineral density, based on second metacarpal cortical percentage (2MCP) measurement, affects DRF healing after nonsurgical treatment...

Zusammenfassung:Whether low bone mineral density affects loss of reduction for distal radius fractures (DRFs) managed without surgery is unknown. Our purpose was to understand how bone mineral density, based on second metacarpal cortical percentage (2MCP) measurement, affects DRF healing after nonsurgical treatment. We retrospectively reviewed 304 patients from 2 health systems with DRFs treated without surgery. The AO classification, 2MCP (
