“…We had comparable results of 85% in excellent to good category [ Table 5 ]. We also noticed that patients presented with significant osteoporosis at an early age, which is common in Indian population 17 and also a study by Meiners et al 18 discussed a newer concept of using an angular stable plates with good results in 90% osteoporotic fractures. 18 …”

Background:The management of distal radius fractures raises considerable debate among orthopedic surgeons. The amount of axial shortening of the radius correlates with the functional disability after the fracture. Furthermore, articular incongruity has been correlated with the development of arthritis at the radiocarpal joint. We used two peg volar spade plate to provide a fixed angle subchondral support in comminuted distal radius fractures with early mobilization of the joint.Materials and Methods:Forty patients (26 males and 14 females) from a period between January 2009 and December 2011 were treated with two peg volar spade plate fixation for distal radius fracture after obtaining reduction using a mini external fixator. Patients were evaluated using the demerit point system of Gartland and Werley and Sarmiento modification of Lindstrom criteria at final followup of 24 months.Results:The average age was 43.55 years (range 23-57 years). Excellent to good results were seen in 85% (n = 34) and in all patients when rated according to the demerit point system of Gartland and Werley and Sarmiento modification of Lindstrom criteria, respectively. Complications observed were wrist stiffness in 5% (n = 2) and reflex sympathetic dystrophy in 2.5% (n = 1).Conclusions:The two peg volar spade plate provides a stable subchondral support in comminuted intraarticular fractures and maintains reduction in osteoporotic fractures of the distal radius. Early mobilization with this implant helps in restoring wrist motion and to prevent development of wrist stiffness.

“…This may be due to deficient diet in calcium or low nutrients status. 8 The same was documented and found to have statistically significant relationship in a randomized study among 30e60 yrs females using DEXA as measuring tool for bone mineral density. 5 The present study has some limitations.…”

OsteoporosisCalcaneal QUS BMD a b s t r a c t Osteoporosis is a major public health problem, associated with substantial morbidity and socio-economic burden. An early detection can help in reducing the fracture rates and overall socio-economic burden. The present study was carried out to screen the bone status (osteopenia and osteoporosis) above the age of 35 yrs in the women. A community based cross sectional study was carried out in 158 women by calculating WHO T-scores utilizing calcaneal QUS as diagnostic tool. The prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia was found to be 13.3% AE 5.29% and 48.1% AE 7.79% respectively. Statistical association of prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis was found to be significant with age group; gravida status; attainment of menopause; body weight and physically active status of the women. The statistical association was not significant in relation to the rank status of their husband, as well as dietary pattern of the women but still it has to be substantiated by conducting larger community based trials in future.The present study found that there was statistically significant relationship between age group and the prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis. There was a negative correlation between age of the women and BMD. Besides age, gravida status and menopausal status have negative correlation with BMD while positive correlation with physically active lifestyle. The results were found to be non-significant in relation to rank status of husband and dietary pattern.ª 2012, Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS). All rights reserved.

“…Variables including known risk factors were equally distributed in both low and normal T-Score groups, except for male gender; employment status, and both exercise frequency and duration which were significantly higher in the low T-Score group. Higher prevalence of both osteopenia and osteoporosis were reported in other studies including Saudis (11) as well as non-Saudis populations (12)(13)(14). This could be explained by the use of QUS in the diagnosis.…”

Background/aim:-Osteoporosis is a major public health concern with increased morbidity and mortality. The present study was carried out to screen the bone mineral density (BMD) in different age groups of adults attending a health campaign. Methods:-during the "Your Heath Is Your Life "campaign that was lunched in Madinh, SA, from 24th of April 2014 to 2nd of May 2014 , a community based cross sectional study of bone mineral density in adults was carried out in 336 adults using WHO T-scores utilizing calcaneal qualitative ultrasound (QUS) as a diagnostic tool. A detailed self-reported questionnaire was obtained including demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle and medical condition data. For females, additional data were obtained including obstetric and gynecological histories, and sun exposure and protection behavioral data. Body mass index was calculated. Results:-screening retrieved 63 (18.8%) adults with low T-Scores (14.9% osteopenia and 3.9% osteoporosis). Variables including known risk factors were equally distributed in both low and normal T-Score groups, except for male gender (57.1% vs. 20.1%); employment status (58.7% vs 39.7%), and exercise frequency (once (51.6%) vs. > 3 times (36.8%) weekly) and duration (16.1% vs. 25% exercised for 45-60 min.) which were significantly higher in the low T-Score group. Conclusion:-in a Saudi community, 18.8% prevalence of low BMD was detected among adults. Low BMD was associated with male gender, employment, and exercise frequency and duration. Therefore, adults especially employed men, should be encouraged to exercise. Future studies in young Saudi adults using more reliable methods are needed to confirm these findings and to identify secondary causes or unidentified risk factors
