Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for subsequent fractures after distal radius fracture (DRF).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 705 patients with DRF who performed dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry within six months before or after the DRF and followed more than 12 months. We identified patients with subsequent fractures and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted with demographic information, underlying disease status, and bone fragility parameters at the time of DRF to evaluate the risk factors for subsequent fractures.
Results: Subsequent fractures occurred in 56 patients (7.9% of 705 patients) with 65 fractures at a mean time of 33.5 months after DRF. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, older age (OR 1.032; 95% CI, 1.001-1.064, p = 0.044), diabetes mellitus (DM) (OR 2.663; 95% CI, 1.429-4.963, p = 0.002) and previous fracture history (OR 1.917; 95% CI, 1.019-3.607, p = 0.043), and low total hip BMD (OR 1.410; 95% CI, 1.083-1.836, p = 0.011) were significant risk factors for the occurrence of subsequent fractures.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that older age, DM, previous fracture history and low hip BMD are the risk factors for subsequent fractures after DRF. Active glycemic control would have a role in patients with DM and a more aggressive treat-to-target approach may be necessary for patients with low BMDs to prevent subsequent fractures after DRF.

Bone mineral density (BMD) levels achieved on osteoporosis treatment are predictive of subsequent fracture risk, and T-score > -2.5 has been proposed as a minimum treatment target for women with osteoporosis. Knowing the likelihood of attaining target T-scores with different medications for different baseline BMD levels can help determine appropriate initial treatment for individual patients.

This article is a numerical and experimental study of the mechanical properties of different glass, flax and hybrid composites. By utilizing hybrid composites consisting of natural fibers, the aim is to eventually reduce the percentage usage of synthetic or man-made fibers in composites and obtain similar levels of mechanical properties that are offered by composites using synthetic fibers. This in turn would lead to greener composites being utilized.

: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of vertebral refractures following percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) and to explore risk factors for augmented vertebral refractures, thereby assisting spinal surgeons in clinical practice. : We analyzed the records of 495 patients with single-segment osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) who were treated with single-entry PKP at our institution from March 2016 to August 2022. Univariate analysis, binary logistic regression, and ROC curve analysis were performed to determine potential risk factors, independent risk factors, and discrimination ability.

: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the older adult population and is often associated with reduced physical activity. Reduced activity and mechanical loading subsequently reduce bone mineral density and increase risk of osteoporosis. Bisphosphonates (BPs) offer preventative effects on osteoporotic fractures in the general population, but their effects on patients with AD are less known.

Hydrogen embrittlement is a critical issue for zirconium alloys, which receives long-term attention in their applications. The formation of brittle hydrides facilitates crack initiation and propagation, thereby significantly reducing the material's ductility. This study investigates the tensile properties and hydride morphology of a novel zirconium alloy under different hydrogen-charging current densities ranging from 0 to 300 mA/cm, aiming to clarify the influence of hydrides on the fracture behavior of the alloy.
