Abstract:
Irrespective of their age, patients with recent fragility fracture have an increased risk of recurrence : this is the imminent fracture risk of multiple origins. As well the vertebral than the non-vertebral fractures are equally predictive of an increased and early fracture risk. Therefore, a fragility fracture is a strong signal for the clinicians to introduce a treatment against osteoporosis. Especially since most of the treatment have been shown to reduce quickly the incidence of fractures. To target easily patients with the highest risk of re-fractures would allow to improve our efficacy.

Humans, however, can respond to delayed reinforcers. We often make decisions between immediate small rewards and delayed larger rewards. This ability to delay gratification is a significant...

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
