Patella fractures are associated with bone fragility - a retrospective study

Patella fractures are not typically considered osteoporotic fractures. We compared bone mineral density (BMD) and microstructure in elderly women from a multiethnic population-based study in New York City with any history of a patella fracture (n = 27) to those without historical fracture (n = 384)...

Description
Summary:Patella fractures are not typically considered osteoporotic fractures. We compared bone mineral density (BMD) and microstructure in elderly women from a multiethnic population-based study in New York City with any history of a patella fracture (n = 27) to those without historical fracture (n = 384) and those with an adult fragility forearm fracture (n = 28) using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). Compared to those without fracture, women with patella fracture had 6.5% lower areal BMD (aBMD) by DXA only at the total hip (p=.007), while women with forearm fracture had lower aBMD at multiple sites and lower trabecular bone score (TBS), adjusted for age, body mass index, race and ethnicity (all p
