Sir—Osteoporosis is a major cause of morbidity, mortality and institutionalisation in older adults. The cost of osteoporosis in the United States (2002) was $17.9 billion and, by 2050, the global incidence of hip fractures will approach 6.3 million fractures per year, at a cost of $131.5 billion [1]. A prior fracture is an independent risk factor for hip fracture [2–4]. Two mechanisms proposed for this increased risk of a hip fracture include skeletal factors: (i) accelerated bone resorption and (ii) mechanical impairment caused by the fracture. Bone resorption following a fracture may be increased as much as 18% following a wrist or ankle fracture and may persist for up to 2 years [5–7]. Non-skeletal factors may also play a role, and neuromuscular and sensorimotor (NMS) changes have been proposed as explanations of how impaired balance leads to an altered gait and increased risk of falls [8]. The extent to which the increased risk of hip fractures that follows an initial fracture episode is dependent on skeletal and non-skeletal factors remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to evaluate non-skeletal factors in relation to balance and gait function in women with wrist fractures.
