Infants should be screened for hip trouble
Developmental hip dysplasia is the most common congenital defect in newborns. The condition occurs when a hip joint is shallow, unstable or when the joint is dislocated. Infants with the condition are often at risk of developing arthritis of the hip as a young adult. view more (2009-07-01)
Calcium supplements fail to prevent bone fractures in children
Children taking such supplements are have only small improvements in bone density, which are unlikely to reduce fracture risk, says the study carried out by researchers at the Menzies Research Institute in Australia and other approaches could be more beneficial such as increasing vitamin D concentrations and eating more fruit and vegetables. view more (2006-09-15)
Study shows that prostate cancer increases the risk of bone fracture
As unlikely as it sounds, scientists at the Garvan Institute for Medical Research have shown that there is a link between prostate cancer and a higher risk of bone fracture. view more (2008-05-14)
CT better than plain radiographs in diagnosing lumbar spine fractures
Lumbar spine fractures in a majority of patients with trauma can be detected by routine trauma abdomen and pelvis CT compared to plain radiographs, according to a recent study conducted by radiologists at the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, OH. view more (2007-05-07)
Older women at highest risk for hip fractures, least likely to get bone density screening
A new study by Medical College of Wisconsin researchers has found that women who most need bone density testing to determine if they have osteoporosis are the least likely to get it. view more (2006-02-08)
Lactose malabsorption related to bone fractures in old age?
Finnish researchers have discovered an interesting link between lactose malabsorption and the occurrence of bone fracture in elderly people. view more (2005-02-16)
Long distance runners at risk of low bone density
Long distance running increases the risk of low bone density, shows research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Accepted wisdom is that running, as a weight bearing exercise, increases bone density and therefore reduces the risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture. view more (2003-01-24)
New biomedical device uses nanotechnology to monitor hip implant healing, may reduce wait times
It is so small, you can barely see it, but a microsensor created by University of Alberta engineers may soon make a huge difference in the lives of people recovering from hip replacement surgery. view more (2006-10-18)
More than Just Bare Bones: New Research Suggests Emotions Can Affect Recovery from Hip Surgery
A patient's emotional state plays a significant role in his or her recovery from hip surgery, suggests Saint Louis University research published this month. view more (2007-06-27)
New evidence eases some concerns about bone fracture risk with breast cancer drug
Copenhagen, Denmark: New evidence about the breast cancer drug anastrozole (Arimidex) shows that the incidence of a major side-effect - bone fractures - appears to stabilise after reaching a peak at two years of treatment, easing some of the concerns about the drug. This finding is the latest to come from evidence provided by the world's largest... view more... (2003-09-21)
Centrefold models are becoming more androgynous
The shapely body characteristics of centrefold models have given way to more androgynous ones, concludes a study in this week's Christmas issue of the BMJ. Researchers looked at trends in Playboy centrefold models' body measurements by analysing 577 consecutive monthly issues of Playboy, from the magazine's inception in December 1953 to December... view more...

Estrogen is important for bone health in men as well as women
Although women are four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, or porous bone, one in 12 men also suffer from the disease, which can lead to debilitating - or even life-threatening - fractures, mainly of the spine, hip and wrist. view more (2007-05-11)
Resident duty-hour reform associated with increased complication rate
A new study finds a 2003 reform of the length of resident on-duty hours has led to an increase in the rate of perioperative (the span of all three phases of surgery: before, during and after) complications for patients treated for hip fractures. view more (2009-09-02)
Weight loss surgery may be associated with bone loss
Weight loss surgery may be linked to deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D and bone loss, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-09-23)
Genes may determine success of hip replacement surgery
The success of long term hip replacement surgery may lie in the genes, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2007-03-15)
Astronauts on International Space Station lose alarming amounts of hipbone strength
Astronauts spending months in space lose significant bone strength, making them increasingly at risk for fractures later in life. view more (2009-01-27)
Size-specific cracking shakes out at the nanoscale
Certain sizes of nanostructures may be more susceptible to failure by fracture than others. view more (2008-08-04)
Rett syndrome research reveals high fracture risk
Researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research have found that girls and young women with Rett syndrome are nearly four times more likely to suffer a fracture. view more (2008-03-10)
Merck's odanacatib increased BMD over 2 years at key fracture sites in Phase IIB study
Two-year data from a Phase IIB study of odanacatib (formerly MK-0822), an investigational, selective cathepsin-K inhibitor in development for the treatment of osteoporosis by Merck & Co., Inc., demonstrated dose- dependent increases in bone mineral density (BMD) at the total hip, lumbar spine and femoral neck fracture sites and decreased... view more...

Study Shows Some Athletic Men May Risk Low Bone Density
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, osteoporosis affects more than 2 million men in the United States and nearly 12 million more have osteopenia-clinically significant low bone density that is less severe than osteoporosis. Now, a new study from the University of Missouri-Columbia has found that men engaging predominantly in... view more... (2007-10-17)
