Abstract
A Distal Radius Fracture Is Not Simply a Distal Radius Fracture Abstract. We report on a 57-year-old female patient with a distal extra-articular radius fracture. The family doctor's suspicion was an osteoporosis-associated fracture, and an interdisciplinary investigation was initiated. In addition to DXA measurement differential diagnoses for secondary osteoporosis were considered. In our case, secondary osteoporosis was diagnosed as part of Graves' disease and insufficiency of vitamin D leading to a radius fracture.
