High-resolution peripheral computed tomography (HR-pQCT) was developed to image bone
microarchitecture in vivo at peripheral skeletal sites. Since the introduction of HR-pQCT in …

A balanced inflammatory response is important for successful fracture healing. The
response of osteoporotic fracture healing is deranged and an altered inflammatory response …

Abstract Micro-Finite Element (micro-FE) analysis is now widely used in biomedical research
as a tool to derive bone mechanical properties as they relate to its microstructure. With the …

Vitamin D is an important factor in bone metabolism. Animal studies have shown a positive
effect of vitamin D3 supplementation on fracture healing, but evidence from clinical trials is …

In clinical practice, fracture healing is evaluated by clinical judgment in combination with
conventional radiography. Due to limited resolution, radiographs don't provide detailed …

Fracture healing is characterized by an intense increase in modeling and remodeling of
bone, which allows removal of the cast after a stable distal radius fracture within 3 to 5 …

Clinical evaluation of fracture healing is often limited to an assessment of fracture bridging
from radiographic images, without consideration for other aspects of bone quality. However …

Background: High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is a
promising tool to assess the fracture-healing process at the microscale in vivo. Since casts …

Introduction We hypothesized that treating distal radius fractures with cast only or closed
reduction and cast is associated with high malunion risk and that the risk is higher in patients …

Fractures of the distal radius are among the most common fragility fractures seen in clinical
practice, with estimates of annual incidence ranging as high as 86,000 in the United States …
