Shin YH, Hong WK, Kim J, et al. - Researchers aimed at ascertaining the impact of providing active osteoporosis care to patients experiencing their first distal radius fracture (DRF) on subsequent risk for hip or spine fractures. From September 2009, patients with DRF were provided active osteoporosis care by orthopedic surgeons at their institution. They performed comparison of two cohorts: the preinvolvement (PreI) group (DRF before September 2009) comprising 205 patients and the postinvolvement group (DRF from September 2009) comprising 852 patients. Twenty seven patients (2.6%) experienced subsequent fractures, at a mean interval of 29 months after DRF. Observations revealed significantly lower incidence of subsequent fractures in the active care cohort than the other cohort in 4-year follow-up.
