Bone fracture after osteoporosis is the most common and serious complication, which often leads to serious consequences in cases of inadequate prevention and late diagnosis. Therefore, more attention should be paid to prevention of osteoporosis and risk assessment of fracture and refracture after osteoporosis. This paper reviews the research progress in risk assessment of fracture and refracture after osteoporosis from the aspects of imaging, clinical manifestations and laboratory examination indexes. In recent years, the imaging methods have developed from dual-energy X-ray absorption, trabecular bone scoring and CT to high resolution peripheral quantitative CT; concern for their clinical manifestations has developed from independent risk factors to fracture risk assessment tools; the laboratory tests have developed from bone turnover markers and serotonin to microRNA. Although these developments have consistently increased the sensitivity of risk assessment for fracture and refracture after osteoporosis, problems still exist and need to be resolved. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Osteoporotic fractures; Risk assessment; Review; Refracture","PeriodicalId":10145,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma","volume":"21 1","pages":"1005-1008"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46040409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They were 11 men and 5 women, aged from 18 to 64 years (average, 41.6 years). By the Gustilo classification, 9 cases were type ⅢB and 7 type ⅢC. The area of soft tissue defects at the upper arm and hand ranged from 7.5 cm×5.5 cm to 16.5 cm × 11.0 cm. Emergency debridement was performed at the primary stage. After repair of major blood vessels, nerves and tendons, the reduced fractures were fixated with a single-arm external stent. The soft tissue defects were repaired with free flaps at the secondary stage. Nine cases were repaired with a free anterolateral perforating branch flap and 7 with a free ilioinguinal flap. The single-arm external stent became the ultimate fixation mode in 5 cases but was changed into plate fixation after survival of the flaps in the other 11 cases.

They were 25 males and 3 females, aged from 26 to 63 years (average, 49.3 years). The time from injury to surgery ranged from 4 to 12 days (average, 7.8 days). According to the Letournel-Judet classification, all were single element (simple) posterior wall fractures combined with posterior dislocation of the femoral head and articular compression of different degrees; transient sciatic nerve injury was complicated in 12 cases. The posterior hip dislocations were timely and successful reset at emergency treatment. The compression fractures of the posterior wall and hip joint were treated by open reduction and internal fixation via the acetabular posterior (K-L) approach. The articular compression was treated by 4 stabilization techniques: absorbable screwing and blocking technique in 10 cases, indwelling screwing in 12 cases, indwelling Kirschner wiring in 2 cases and die push and squeeze tamping in 4 cases.

They were 4 men and one woman, aged from 23 to 52 years (average, 35.1 years). All of them had tendon defects; one had a radius defect, one an ulnar defect and three a tibial defect. The length of bone defects ranged from 8 cm to 18 cm; the size of soft tissue defects ranged from 10 cm × 5 cm to 18 cm ×8 cm. A fibular composite tissue flap was designed according to the soft tissue condition and defect area to repair and fixate the bone defect after thorough debridement and cover the wound before functional reconstruction. Postoperatively, survival of the flap and functional recovery of the corresponding tendon at the recipient site, healing time of the tibia, and wound healing, ankle motion and complications at the donor site were all observed. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The 5 patients were followed up for 18 to 38 months (average, 25.2 months).

In the 3 patients with a tibial defect, the maximum angle of dorsal extension ranged from 0° to 10° and no foot drop was observed. Thumb and digital flexion was reconstructed in the patients with a forearm bone defect only to achieve opposition of index finger and thumb but we failed to make them have a fist. At the 5 flap donor sites, the wound was sutured by the second stage after vacuum suction and healed well; obvious scar formed in one of them. No obvious foot varus was observed at the donor site.

They were 15 males and 4 females, aged from 4 years and 2 months to 8 years (average, 6.3 years). There were 7 transverse fractures, 11 short oblique fractures and one oblique fracture. The restorer was applied directly to the femur for traction and temporary external fixation.

The Flynn criteria for lower limb fracture were used to evaluate the curative effects postoperatively. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The operative time ranged from 32 to 45 minutes (37 minutes on average). All the fractures obtained closed reduction. No such intraoperative complications occurred as traction and compression injury to soft tissues like muscle, nerve and blood vessel.
