Hsieh E, Shiau S, Nolan O, Gibert CL, Bedimo RJ, Rodriguez-Barradas MC, Justice AC, Womack JA, Yin MT. Increased Fragility Fracture Rates in Older Men With Osteomyelitis. Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. 2019 Sep 13; 69(7):1239-1242.
In this study, we evaluated fracture incidence over a 10-year period among men with and without osteomyelitis from the Veterans Aging Cohort Study. Fracture incidence was significantly higher among those with osteomyelitis at all osteoporotic fracture sites after adjusting for key related risk factors. Future prospective studies are warranted.
