- The aims of this study were to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) and some anthropometric variables in patients with hip fracture, to compare these data with those from controls, and to compare the fractured and unfractured hip. Bone mineral measurements with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) were undertaken in 93 consecutive hip fracture patients, 26 men and 67 women, with a mean age of 75 and 78 years, respectively, within 10 days after injury. We found lower BMD in most measurements in both men and women compared with age- and sex-matched controls. The body weight and lean body mass were also significantly lower in the male hip fracture patients; in women only weight was lower. In women there was lower BMD in spine and hip in those who had sustained trochanteric hip fractures compared with those with cervical fracture. No such difference was found in men. There was no difference in BMD in the hip when patients with stable and unstable fractures were compared. In the fractured and nonfractured hips we measured BMD in regions of interest. In women with trochanteric hip fractures the BMD was decreased in the fractured hip compared with the uninjured. No such difference was found for cervical fractures or in men.

Bone mineral normative data in Malmö, Sweden : Comparison with reference data and hip fracture incidence in other ethnic groups

- The bone mineral mass was measured in 324 residents of the city of Malmö Sweden, by dual energy roentgen absorptiometry (DEXA) using the Lunar DPX equipment - total body, hip, and lumbar vertebrae. the bone mineral content of the wrist was also measured with single photon absorptiometry (SPA) in 88 of the individuals. Weight, height, and vertebral height, as well as body fat, lean body mass, menarcheal age, menopausal age, and hand grip strength were determined. Measurements were compared with reference bone mineral content values from the United States, Japan, and France - also hip fracture incidence was compared. All bone mineral values decreased with age. A good correlation was found between the DEXA technique of total body bone mineral and the forearm SPA values. the bone mineral content was correlated with lean body mass and weight. the Malmö bone mineral content was on the same level as in the United States, but higher than in Japan and France. the comparatively high risk of fragility fractures in the Scandinavian countries compared with most other settings cannot be explained by low bone mass.

Silicone rubber implants for arthrosis of the scaphotrapezial joint

- Between 1980 and 1983, 10 patients received high performance silicone rubber condylar implants for the treatment of isolated degenerative changes of the scaphotrapezial joint. Early clinical and radiographic results (at a mean of 15 months) were excellent. Late follow up of these 10 together with a further 11 patients, however, showed migration of the implant and radiological signs of silicone particle synovitis in all but two. We no longer recommend this operation for treatment of isolated arthrosis of the scaphotrapezial joint.
