found that men were three times less likely than women to undergo bone mass density (BMD) testing following a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) and seven times less likely to begin treatment for osteoporosis. With an aging U.S. population, the likely Rozental, who specializes in hand, wrist and elbow injuries, examined five years of data (2007-2012) from patients who suffered a distal radial fracture, a break near the wrist end of the radius, the larger of the two long bones in the forearm. They used multiple linear regression analyses in boys and girls, separately, with adjustments for bone age, height, fracture history, ALM and TBFM. Conversely, the relationship between TBFM and failure load at the distal radius was nearly nonexistent (boys .
