TL;DR
Patients with Colles' fracture are found to have reduced trabecular bone mass in the spine and distal radius, but no osteopenia in the diaphysis of the radius and ulna.
Abstract
Bone density was measured in 23 postmenopausal women with Colles' fracture. Trabecular spine density was measured by quantitative computed tomography. The bone mineral density in the distal radius and in the diaphysis of the radius and ulna was measured by the gamma ray attenuation method. Compared with age-matched controls, the patients were found to have reduced trabecular bone mass in the spine and distal radius, but no osteopenia in the diaphysis of the radius and ulna. The mean age-corrected decrease was 0.7 SD in the spine and 0.5 SD in the distal end of the radius. The results suggest that patients with Colles' fracture have trabecular but not cortical osteopenia.

The data suggest the existence of two distinct syndromes: one form, "postmenopausal osteoporosis," is characterized by excessive and disproportionate trabecular bone loss, involves a small subset of women in the early postmenopausal period, and is associated with hip fractures or vertebral fractures or both.

Women with lumbar bone mineral content values below the 95% confidence limits for normal premenopausal women are at risk of future vertebral compression fractures, the fracture risk being inversely related to lumbr bone mineralcontent.

The data show that the distributions of mineral mass and percentage of trabecular bone are similar in both bones and the percentage in the segment which lies between 30% and 40% of the length, measured from the styloid process, increases with age.

The data suggest that the bone mass of the axial skeleton reflects the extent of daily physical activity and patients with Colles' fractures represent an easily definable population which might benefit from prophylactic measures against vertebral bone loss and compression fractures.

Women with Colles' fracture were found to have the same mineral content in the femur as age-matched controls without fractures, and calcium supplementation had no significant effect on the bone mineral content.

Computed tomography measurements on the radii of 18 women with Colles' fracture of the radius have shown that compared to normal women of the same age they tended to have a smaller bone cross-sectional area in the radius midshaft, a small deficit of cortical bone, and a substantial deficit of trabecular bone in the distal radius.

In 249 patients with fractures characteristic of bone fragility, i.e. femoral neck fracture, vertebral crush fracture, fracture of the upper end of the humerus, Colles' fracture, fractures of the lateral condyle of the tibia and various ankle fractures, and forearm bone mineral content was measured by gamma absorptiometry, the measurement of mineral in the forearm cannot be recommended as a very good tool for determination of fracture susceptability in individual subjects.

The results support the opinion that two forms of osteoporosis exist: one is characterised by excessive trabecular bone loss in the axial skeleton leading to spinal fractures; the second is due to equal extents of axial and peripheral osteopenia, found in connection with hip fractures.

Z-scores express differences from normals in standard deviation units, and are particularly useful for comparison of changes where normal values are age- and sex-dependent, and in diagnosis and study of metabolic bone disease.
