Age-related losses in bone mineral density (BMD), muscle strength, balance, and gait have been linked to an increased risk of falls, fractures disability, but few prospective studies compared the timing, rate pattern changes each these measures middle-aged older men women. This is important so that targeted strategies can be developed optimise specific musculoskeletal functional performance adults. Thus, aim this 10-year study was to: 1) characterize compare age- gender-specific BMD, grip...

Background: Intense exercise has been reported as one risk factor for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA). Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate (1) whether this is true both former impact nonimpact athletes, (2) if the of a or arthroplasty due OA higher than expected, (3) joint deterioration associated with injuries. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: The prevalence in were registered 709 male elite athletes median age 70 years (range, 50-93 years), retired from sports 35...

A distal forearm fracture is a very common injury causing both suffering and substantial health care costs. The incidence of this type seemed to increase worldwide until the middle 1980's, but thereafter most reports have shown stable or decreasing rates. As few large studies been presented lately we aimed describe recent epidemiology time trends fractures in adults. We paid special attention working ages as they present challenges terms treatment costs for sick-leave, not previously...

The number of hip fractures during recent decades has been reported to be increasing, partly because an increasing proportion elderly women in the society. However, whether changes fracture annual incidence are attributable secular prevalence osteoporosis is unclear. Bone mineral density was evaluated by single-photon absorptiometry at distal radius 456 aged 50 years or above and living same city. measurements were obtained densitometer three separate time periods: 1970-74 (n = 106), 1987-93...

Background: The Self-reported Foot and Ankle Score (SEFAS) is a patient-reported outcome measure, while the American Orthopedic Society (AOFAS) clinician-based score, both used for evaluation of foot ankle disorders. purpose this study was to compare psychometric properties these 2 scoring systems. Methods: A total 95 patients with great toe disorders 111 or hindfoot completed scores before after surgery. We evaluated time complete in seconds, correlations between Spearman’s correlation...

Background and purpose — The self-reported foot ankle score (SEFAS) is a questionnaire designed to evaluate disorders of the ankle, but it only validated for arthritis in ankle. We SEFAS patients with forefoot, midfoot, hindfoot, disorders.Patients methods 118 forefoot 106 hindfoot or completed SEFAS, outcome (FAOS), SF-36, EQ-5D before surgery. evaluated construct validity versus FAOS, EQ-5D; floor ceiling effects; test-retest reliability (ICC); internal consistency; agreement....

This study used nationwide hip fracture data from Denmark and Sweden during 1987–2010 to examine effects of (birth) cohort period. We found that time trends, cohort, period were different in the two countries. Results also indicated rates may increase not so far future. The reasons for downturn remain largely unclear but circumstances earlier life seem important. ascertained fractures populations ≥50 years national discharge registers. Country- sex-specific age-period-cohort (APC) evaluated...

Background and purpose — The incidence annual number of hip fractures have increased worldwide during the past 50 years, projections indicated a further increase. During last decade, however, down-turn in fracture has been seen western world. We predicted development Sweden until year 2050.Methods reviewed surgical records for period 2002–2012 city Malmö, Sweden, identified patients aged years or more with fracture. estimated rates by using official population figures as denominator applied...

ABSTRACT Recent reports on adult fracture epidemiology have focused mainly the hip in elderly, whom increasing rates lately changed to a decline. New of preponderance nonhip fractures health expenditure call for wider scope. We therefore examined current overall and site-specific adults. ascertained all diagnosed inpatient outpatient care men women aged 20 years or older Skåne County, Sweden, from 1999 2010 (10 million person-years). For each type, we estimated age-specific sex-specific...

In cases with total ankle replacement (TAR) failure, a decision between revision TAR and salvage arthrodesis (SA) must be made. previous study, we analyzed found low functional outcome satisfaction. The aims of the current study were to analyze SA concerning failure rate patient-related measures (PROMs).Until September 2014, 1110 primary TARs recorded in Swedish Ankle Registry. Of 188 failures, 118 revised (and 70 TAR). Patient- implant-specific data for as well techniques. Failure was...

ABSTRACT Most pediatric exercise intervention studies that evaluate the effect on skeletal traits include volunteers and follow bone mass for less than 3 years. We present a population-based 6-year controlled study in children with structure incident fractures as endpoints. Fractures were registered 417 girls 500 boys group (3969 person-years) 835 869 control (8245 person-years), all aged 6 to 9 years at start, during period. Children had 40 minutes daily school physical education (PE) 60...

Background and purpose — We have previously reported on the prosthetic survival of total ankle replacements (TAR) in Sweden performed between 1993 2010. Few other reports been published 5- 10-year rates. Furthermore, there is a lack long-term outcome data modern designs. Therefore, we compared early current designs after mean 7-year follow-up. Patients methods On December 31, 2016, 1,230 primary TARs had to Swedish Ankle Registry. analyzed survival, using exchange or permanent extraction...

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between smoking and bone mineral density (BMD) radiographically verified prevalent vertebral fractures incident in elderly men. At baseline 3003 men aged 69 80 years age from Swedish Mr Os Study completed a standard questionnaire concerning habits had BMD hip spine measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA); 1412 an thoracic- lumbar spine. Radiologic registers were used confirm reported new after visit. baseline, 8.4%...

Physical activity is favorable for peak bone mass but if the skeletal benefits remain and influence fracture risk in old age debated. In a cross‐sectional controlled mixed model design, we compared dual X ‐ray absorptiometry‐derived mineral density ( BMD ) size 193 active retired male elite soccer players 280 controls, with duplicate measurements of same individual done mean 5 years apart. To evaluate lifetime fractures, used retrospective study design 397 1368 controls. Differences traits...

Background and purpose - Pediatric fracture incidence may not be stable. We describe recent pediatric epidemiology etiology compare this to earlier data. Patients methods The city of Malmö (population 271,271 in 2005) Sweden is served by 1 hospital. Using the hospital diagnosis registry, medical charts, radiographic archive, we identified fractures individuals <16 years that had occurred during 2005 2006. also retrieved previously collected data from between 1950 1994, hospital's database....

ABSTRACT Previous prospective cohort studies have shown that serum levels of sex steroids and hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) associate with nonvertebral fracture risk in men. The predictive value hormones SHBG for vertebral specifically is, however, less studied. Elderly men (aged ≥65 years) from Sweden Hong Kong participating the Osteoporotic Fractures Men (MrOS) study had baseline estradiol testosterone analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) immunoradiometric assay...
