Objective To explore the correlation between fracture of distal radius(Colles'fracture)following low energy trauma in women and bone mineral density(BMD),to provide basis for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.Methods 76 female patients aged from 40 to 70 years who sustained Colles' fracture following low energy trauma and 92 females at similar age without fracture history as control group were studied. DEXA (diploenergetic X-ray assessment) was used to measure bone mineral density(BMD) in the lumbar...
