Multisite Quantitative Ultrasound: Colles’ Fracture Discrimination in Postmenopausal Women

Abstract: Distal forearm fractures are the most common perimenopausal fracture and are generally associated with osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capability of speed of sound (SOS) measurements in cortical bone at the phalanx, radius, tibia and metatarsal to discriminate Colles' fracture cases from controls in postmenopausal women and to compare this with bone mineral density (BMD) measurements obtained by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Sixty-three postmenopausal Colles' fracture cases an… Show more

“…A Sunlight Omnisense device (Sunlight Medical Ltd., Tel-Aviv, Israel) was used to measure SOS at the radius, phalanx, and metatarsal in a study population that consisted of 110 healthy postmenopausal women, 64 women with atraumatic vertebral fractures, and 31 women with low trauma wrist fractures. (20,23) All patients gave informed consent, and the study was approved by the Local Research Ethics Committee. Logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the age-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for fracture discrimination.…”

“…The method by which the Sunlight Omnisense™ performs its measurements is outlined in a number of papers (Njeh et al 1999(Njeh et al , 2001Weiss et al 2000;Knapp et al 2001Knapp et al , 2002. The region-of-interest (ROI) for the distal radius was selected by measuring the distance from the point of the elbow (olecranon) to the tip of the middle finger, with the forearm in the supine position, the wrist straight and the fingers extended and fully adducted.…”

“…16 Radius SOS was able to discriminate Colles' fracture cases from controls, however, the odds ratio was lower than for spine or hip BMD. 17 SOS at the radius has also been demonstrated to be able to discriminate between elderly women with hip fracture and age-matched controls. 18 Nevertheless, as with BMD measurements, there was some overlap in SOS values between the fracture and nonfracture groups.…”
