Observational epidemiological studies indicate a higher fracture incidence in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients compared to the general population. However, the causal relationship between RA and fracture risk, particularly traumatic and osteoporotic fractures, is not well established. We performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the causal relationship between RA and fracture risk.

The fracture mechanism is either direct by application of force on sternum and anterior ribs or indirect by bending through compression of the thorax. The aim of this study was to determine morphologies of rib fractures after CPR and to reevaluate prior findings on fracture localisation, type and degree of dislocation.
