To explore effects of Buyang Huanwu Decoction (, BYHWD) on early callus X-ray evaluation and level of serum alkaline phosphatase in elderly patients with Colles fracture after manual reduction and splint external fixation.
In 45 women with Colles' fracture, two types of complementary medical treatment (calcitonin with calcium [SCT+Ca] and calcium alone [Ca]) were compared with placebo. Consecutive patients were assigned randomly to one of the three study groups at the time of inclusion in the study: 15 women (68.6 +/-
Colles' fracture has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of hip fracture. The incidence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and high bone turnover in such patients is uncertain. The aim of this study was to prospectively assess BMD and bone turnover in a cohort of consecutive
Risk factors for osteoporosis were evaluated in women from Cordoba, Argentina. Female patients that consulted about diagnosis or treatment of osteoporosis from January 2000 to June 2002 were included. Secondary osteoporosis patients were excluded. Participants were studied using standardized

BACKGROUND
To identify high-risk patients and provide pharmacological treatment is one of the effective approaches in prevention of osteoporotic fractures. This study investigated the effect of 12-month Alendronate treatment on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover biochemical markers in
BACKGROUND
Genetic factors condition an important part of bone mass. The role of vitamin D receptor polymorphism (VDR) as genetic marker of osteoporosis is a matter of discussion. We have studied the possible influence of VDR on bone remodelling, calciotropic hormones, on the presence of
