Abstract | Background: Distal radius fractures have been reported as a predictor of subsequent osteoporotic fragility fractures. This retrospective study evaluated the proportion of patients with distal radius fractures at a government hospital in Hong Kong who received diagnostic evaluation or treatment for osteoporosis within 1 year. Methods: Five hundred sixty-one postmenopausal women aged >50 years admitted to a public hospital between 2013 and 2017 for a low-energy distal radius fracture were analysed for initiation of osteoporosis medications and/or arrangement of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry screening within 1 year of injury. Results: Within 1 year, 8.4% of patients were prescribed osteoporosis medication and 6.1% of patients had dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry arranged. Patients with a previous fracture were more likely to receive osteoporosis medication (18.6% vs 7.5%, P = 0.012) and either intervention (screening or medication) overall (23.3% vs 10.4%, P = 0.011). Conclusions: Few postmenopausal women who suffered a distal radius fracture received osteoporosis intervention within 1 year. Orthopaedic surgeons should be aware of the possibility of underlying osteoporosis and opportunity for intervention when managing fragility distal radius fractures. |
