We conclude that those individuals presenting with Colles' fracture may also have hearing loss and conversely, patients presenting with a conductive hearing loss may be at risk of developing the further symptoms of osteoporosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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: Brazilian orthopedists have concordant opinions regarding conservative treatment methods and the use of bone grafts. There were conflicting opinions regarding surgical treatment methods, classification types and complications. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

Although Colles Fractures are a heterogeneous group of injuries, the etiology is usually the same: a fall on an outstretched arm. The position of the hand is important in determining the type of fracture that results. [handandwristinstitute.com]

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]

Osteoporosis associated with aging increase the risk of these fractures in elderly individuals, and also increases risk in women, who are more commonly affected with osteoporosis.[4] Pathophysiology The most common cause of Colles fractures is trauma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
