Bone Fracture articles

Increasing daily calcium will not reduce fracture risk in later life
While moderate amounts of calcium (around 700 mg a day) are vital for maintaining healthy bones, there is no need to start increasing calcium intake in order to reduce the risk of fractures or osteoporosis in later life, finds a paper published in bmj.

HIV infected at higher risk for bone fractures
Low bone mineral density in HIV-infected patients is common and raises concerns about increased risks of fracture, revealed by researchers.

Breast cancer survivors at higher risk for fractures
The combined effects of chemotherapy and endocrine therapy may increase the risk of bone fractures in breast cancer survivors, revealed by researchers in a study.

Osteoporosis drugs linked to atypical fractures
Bisphosphonate treatments, proven to enhance bone density and reduce fracture incidence in post-menopausal women, may adversely affect bone quality and increase risk of atypical fractures of the femur when used for four or more years.

New stem cell technology for complicated bone fractures
Researchers have developed a new way of using stem cells to provide better and rapid healing for patients suffering from complicated bone fractures.

Diabetes may weaken your bones
The inflammatory molecule TNF-a may contribute to delayed bone fracture healing in diabetics, revealed by researchers. Diabetes, a condition where the body either does not produce enough, or respond to, insulin, affects at least 171 million people worldwide, a figure that is likely to double by 2030.

Osteoporosis drug may improve immune system
An osteoporosis drug zoledronic acid (Reclast) proven to save lives after hip fractures may do so by strengthening the body's immune system, revealed by geriatrics researchers at Duke University Medical Center.

Bone density unnecessary in women taking osteoporosis drugs
Monitoring bone mineral density in postmenopausal women taking osteoporosis drugs (bisphosphonates) is unnecessary and potentially misleading, revealed by researchers through a new study published on bmj.com.

Osteoporosis drug boost bone's healing process
Osteoporosis drug teriparatide or Forteo can boost bodies' bone stem cell production to the point that adults' bones appear to have the ability to heal at a rate typically seen when they were young kids, revealed by researchers.

Merck's Odanacatib increases bone mineral density
2 year data from a Phase IIB study of odanacatib (formerly MK-0822), an investigational, selective cathepsin-K inhibitor in development for the treatment of osteoporosis by Merck & Co., Inc., demonstrated dose-dependent increases in bone mineral density (BMD) at the total hip, lumbar spine and femoral neck fracture sites and decreased indices of bone resorption compared to placebo in postmenopausal women with low BMD.

Calcium supplements may increase heart attacks in postmenopausal women
Calcium is an important component of bone, and a sufficient intake of calcium is needed for bone homoeostasis. Calcium supplements can reduce the risk of fractures in elderly women, but high calcium intakes or calcium supplements may increase the risk of heart attack in healthy postmenopausal women.

Women with osteoporosis have increased long-term risk for new fracture
Over a 15 year period, women with low bone mineral density and a previous vertebral fracture had an increased risk of a new vertebral fracture compared to women with normal bone mineral density and no previous fracture, according to a study in the December 19 issue of JAMA.
