“…The long-time function in the present series, however, was not only influenced by the radiographic result. The importance of the initial displacement, i.e., the fracture type, was also confirmed (de Bruijn 1987).…”

“…When evaluating the result of treatment of distal radial fractures, it is necessary to classify the fractures in order to obtain comparable conclusions (Lidstrom 1959, Frykman 1967, de Bruijn 1987, Kongsholm 1987, Solgaard 1988; and in the present two series, all the fractures were classified. The different distributions of the various fracture types and follow-up times were eliminated by the statistical method.…”

“…Individuals with these fractures often have a reduced ability to perform daily household and self-care activities such as cooking, vacuuming, bathing and dressing [19]. During the acute period after a wrist/forearm fracture, individuals may often develop substantial pain and movement may be limited [20]. Furthermore, individuals with wrist/ forearm fractures may experience restricted activity, chronic pain and loss of function [21].…”

Health-related quality of life (HRQL) was examined in relation to prevalent fractures in 4816 community-dwelling Canadian men and women 50 years and older participating in the Canadian Multicentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMos). Fractures were of three categories: clinically recognized main fractures, subclinical vertebral fractures and fractures at other sites. Main fractures were divided and analyzed at the hip, spine, wrist/forearm, pelvis and rib sites. Baseline assessments of anthropometric data, medical history, therapeutic drug use, spinal radiographs and prevalent fractures were obtained from all participants. The SF-36 instrument was used as a tool to measure HRQL. A total of 652 (13.5%) main fractures were reported. Results indicated that hip, spine, wrist/forearm, pelvis and rib fractures had occurred in 78 (1.6%), 40 (0.8%), 390 (8.1%), 19 (0.4%) and 125 (2.6%) individuals, respectively (subjects may have had more than one main fracture). Subjects who had experienced a main prevalent fracture had lower HRQL scores compared with non-fractured participants. The largest differences were observed in the physical functioning (-4.0; 95% confidence intervals (CI): -6.0, -2.0) and role-physical functioning domains (-5.8; 95% CI: -9.5, -2.2). In women, the physical functioning domain was most influenced by hip (-14.9%; 95% CI: -20.9, -9.0) and pelvis (-18.1; 95% CI: -27.6, -8.6) fractures. In men, the role-physical domain was most affected by hip fractures (-35.7; 95% CI: -60.4, -11.1). Subjects who experienced subclinical vertebral fractures had lower HRQL scores than those without prevalent fractures. In conclusion, HRQL was lower in the physical functioning domain in women and the role-physical domain in men who sustained main fractures at the hip. Subclinical vertebral fractures exerted a moderate effect on HRQL.
