• Laboratory Technician

  The patient will then interact with patient care nursing staff, radiology technicians for imaging, possibly laboratory technicians if lab work is needed, and emergency physicians, or another physician in the office they have visited for treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Delayed Menarche

  In women delayed menarche, over the age of 15 years, was associated with a modest increased risk [HR 1.5 (range 1.1-2.0)]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Abnormal Reflex

  The most widely accepted theory proposes the existence of an abnormal reflex arc within the sympathetic nervous system. [slideshare.net]

An increasing awareness of osteoporosis has led to these injuries being termed fragility fractures, the implication being that a workup for osteoporosis should be a standard part of treatment. [emedicine.medscape.com]

CONCLUSIONS: Bone loss during the course of treatment will have a direct effect upon the prognosis, so different treatment should be proposed for different patterns of fractures. Active exercise should be made to improve the recovery of bone mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The earlier a diagnosis is made and treatment is commenced the better the prognosis. Aetiology: The aetiology is uncertain. The most widely accepted theory proposes the existence of an abnormal reflex arc within the sympathetic nervous system. [slideshare.net]

At one extreme a stable, undisplaced extra-articular fracture has an excellent prognosis. At the other an unstable, displaced intra-articular fracture is difficult to treat and has a poor prognosis. [radiologyassistant.nl]

Compartment syndromes may be important as etiologic and complicating factors. Hyperbaric oxygen may have therapeutic value but its use has not improved on survival rates achieved during World War II with surgery and antibiotics alone. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology Distal radius fractures are most commonly caused by a fall on an outstretched hand (FOOSH). Due to osteoporosis, the risk of these fractures increases with age (termed ‘fragility fractures’). [teachmesurgery.com]
