Article Synopsis
- Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) was found in 27.6% of patients attending a Fracture Liaison Service, with varying levels of severity among them.
- The study indicated that age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, and history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) were risk factors for AAC, while the location of fractures and bone mineral density (BMD) were not related to AAC levels.
- In patients without CVD, prevalent vertebral fractures were linked to the presence of AAC but not to its severity, suggesting the complexity of factors influencing AAC in fracture patients.
Unlabelled: Impaired physical performance is associated with increased fracture risk. Performance on four physical functioning tests and prevalence of sarcopenia were assessed for 1789 fracture patients and compared to reference data. Performance was low on all tests, especially for patients with a hip, major or ≥ 1 prevalent vertebral fracture.

Methods: Prospective comparative multicenter cohort study in one level 1 trauma center and five level 2 trauma centers. Surgically treated trauma patients with peri- and intra-articular fractures of the lower extremities were included.
High-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) enables quantitative assessment of distal radius fracture healing. In previous studies, lower-mineralized tissue formation was observed on HR-pQCT scans, starting early during healing, but the contribution of this tissue to the stiffness of distal radius fractures is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of lower-mineralized tissue to the stiffness of fractured distal radii during the first twelve weeks of healing.

During recent years, different noninvasive imaging modalities have been presented as a possible replacement for ICP measurement.
Purpose: To provide an overview of the current state of evidence and possibilities regarding noninvasive diagnostic methods for CECS.
