    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Gerontology

    Background:

    • Colles' fracture is a common fracture in postmenopausal women.
    • Osteopenia, or reduced bone mass, is a risk factor for fractures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess bone density in postmenopausal women with Colles' fracture.
    • To differentiate between trabecular and cortical bone loss in these patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Bone density was measured in 23 postmenopausal women with Colles' fracture.
    • Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) was used for spine density.
    • Gamma ray attenuation method measured bone mineral density in the radius and ulna.

    Main Results:

    • Patients had reduced trabecular bone mass in the spine and distal radius compared to controls.
    • No significant osteopenia was observed in the diaphysis of the radius and ulna.
    • Age-corrected decrease was 0.7 SD in the spine and 0.5 SD in the distal radius.

    Conclusions:

    • Postmenopausal women with Colles' fracture exhibit trabecular osteopenia.
    • Cortical bone in the radius and ulna appears unaffected, suggesting localized bone loss.
