Bone density correlates with clinical outcomes after ankle fracture fixation
Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery Dec 07, 2018
Warner SJ, et al. - Authors ascertained if bone quality correlates with clinical outcomes after fracture fixation. In order to identify patients, they used a prospective database of all operatively treated ankle fractures by a single surgeon from 2003 to 2013. Findings suggested significant association of decreased bone quality, as measured using preoperative CT, with inferior short-term clinical outcomes. They noted significant implications of these results for integrating bone quality into treatment algorithms for fracture patients.
