Study Results

Background: Fragility fractures are one of the major health problems. Many factors are associated with it some of which are modifiable and some are not. If we know the value of T-score at which fragility fracture occurs and associated factors responsible for fragility fracture than we will be able to control this burden to the society. The objective of this study is to determine association between fragility fracture and bone mineral density (BMD) using bone densitometry and to know the value of T-score at which fragility fracture occurs. Methods: Patients presenting to B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences with fragility fracture of distal end of radius, fracture around hip and vertebral fractures were included in the study to know the value of T-score at which fragility fracture occurs and their associated risk factor. Patients less than 50 years of age, high energy trauma fracture and pathological fractures were excluded from the study. Results: We found that being multipara, smoking, alcohol consumption, post-hysterectomized patients and steroid intake had significant association with fragility fracture. There was no association with religion, geographic location, associated medical illness, age, sex, associated injury and site of injury. Conclusion: The patients with risk factor for fragility fracture like smoking, alcohol consumption, multipara women, post-hysterectomized women and those who are on long term steroid therapy should undergo BMD test and the value at -3.254 are prone to fragility fracture and should be treated accordingly.

Significant Interest

Bone qualities that are measurable via clinically available modalities and that can explain fracture risk beyond what is explainable by bone mineral density (BMD) are of significant interest. Evidence from literature suggests that the heterogeneity of BMD within a vertebra, in addition to the average BMD, may be an important determinant of the mechanical properties of a vertebra 1–3 and risk of a clinical vertebral fracture 4. Much of the experimental evidence comes from tests, in which vertebrae are monotonically loaded and relates BMD heterogeneity to the quasi-static properties of a vertebra 1, 3. The appearance of clinical vertebral fractures is in the form of progressive deformities indicating that fatigue processes are involved. However, the relationships between BMD heterogeneity and fatigue properties of a vertebra are not well-understood.
