Abstract
Previous studies of bone density in patients with Colles fracture have been inconclusive. We measured bone density at the second metacarpal in 36 postmenopausal women with Colles fracture. The patients were found to have highly significant (P < 0.01) or significant (P < 0.05) differences in the parameters of bone density compared with controls matched for age. The results suggest that osteoporosis is of definite relevance to the etiology of Colles fracture in postmenopausal women.Entities:
