Association of Insulin ‐like Growth Factor‐1, Bone Mass and Inflammation to Low‐energy Distal Radius Fractures and Fracture Healing in Elderly Women Attending Emergency Care
ConclusionsIn elderly women with low‐energy distal radius fractures, an association between IGF1 and lowest measures of BMD was found, indicating that low IGF1 could be an indirect risk factor for fractures. Fracture healing was associated with initial leukocytosis and a lower thrombocyte count, suggesting that inflammation and thrombocytes are important components in fracture healing.
