ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the genetic association of five ESR1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs3020331, rs851982, rs1999805, rs2234693, rs3020404), four COL1A1 SNPs (rs1800012, rs2075555, rs2412298, rs1107946), and two SNPs on the CCDC170 gene (rs9479055, rs4870044) with distal radius fracture (DRF) in a group of postmenopausal Mexican women.Methods: A case-control study was conducted. Cases (n = 182) were women above the age of 38 years with low-energy DRF, and controls (n = 201) were women without. Analysis was done through real-time polymerase chain reaction. Frequencies and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were calculated. A multivariate analysis including bone mass index, age, menarche, and menopause as covariables was carried out. Finally, haplotype and linkage disequilibrium (LD) analyses were performed.Results:COL1A1 rs1107946 was strongly associated with DRF. Both CCDC170 SNPs showed strong association with DRF. For the ESR1 gene, four SNPs (rs2234693, 3020404, rs3020331, and rs851982) showed very strong association with DRF. Additionally, the region between the latter two showed strong LD.Conclusions: A strong association of DRF with variants in these genes was found, including haplotypes and a region with strong LD on ESR1. The results suggest that these SNPs could be useful to detect the population at risk of presenting DRF among Mexican perimenopausal women.

Abstract: Background: Ulnar shortening (US) is used for treatment of ulnar abutment, early osteoarthrosis (OA) and distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability. However, it has never been strongly advocated as a mid-stage procedure to slow OA progression and reduce requirement of secondary DRUJ procedures. The study aim was to determine if a specific sigmoid notch type is likely to lead to DRUJ replacement after US. Methods: A retrospective study of 119 patients (124 wrists) with DRUJ painful early osteoarthritis, ulnar abutment and DRUJ instability that underwent US was performed. The goals of osteotomy were to decrease pain and slow the initiation or progression of OA. Sigmoid notch type, previous trauma, bone healing time, pain relief, ulnar variance and conversion to DRUJ arthroplasty were analyzed. Results: Of the 124 wrists studied, bone healing took 3.33 months of average (union rate 98.3%). Sigmoid notch type distribution was 55.6% for type 1, 25.8% for type 2, and 18.5% for type 3. Of the patients with pain after US, 37 had hardware removal and 13 required a DRUJ semi-constrained arthroplasty. Even though analysis did not show any statistically significant correlation, a slight trend towards association of sigmoid notch type 3 with conversion to DRUJ arthroplasty was found. Conclusion: US has a role in treatment of DRUJ pathology, and its use may delay the need for DRUJ secondary procedures, protecting the native joint. A specific sigmoid notch type does not present risk for OA and does not appear to be related to conversion to DRUJ arthroplasty. Type of study: Therapeutic
Resumen: Antecedentes: El acortamiento cubital es utilizado para el tratamiento del síndrome de impactación, osteoartrosis (OA) temprana y la inestabilidad de la articulación radiocubital distal (ARCD). Sin embargo, no se ha recomendado como procedimiento intermedio para detener la progresión de la OA y reducir la necesidad de procedimientos secundarios. El objetivo es determinar si un tipo específico de la escotadura sigmoidea predispone a una artroplastia de la ARCD después del acortamiento cubital. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de 119 pacientes (124 muñecas) a las que se les realizó acortamiento cubital. El objetivo de la osteotomía fue disminuir el dolor y retardar el progreso de la OA. Se analizó el tipo de escotadura sigmoidea, trauma previo, tiempo de consolidación ósea, alivio del dolor, varianza cubital y conversión a artroplastia. Resultados: De las 124 muñecas estudiadas, la consolidación ocurrió en 3.33 meses en promedio (98.3% de consolidación). El tipo de escotadura sigmoidea fue 55.6% tipo 1; 25.8% tipo 2 y 18.5% tipo 3, 37 pacientes ameritaron retiro de material y 13 una artroplastia de la ARCD semiconstriñida. Aunque el análisis no mostró ninguna correlación estadísticamente significativa, una tendencia leve hacia la Asociación del tipo 3 de la escotadura sigmoidea con la conversión a la artroplastia de ARCD fue encontrada. Conclusiones: El acortamiento cubital juega un papel en el tratamiento de la patología de la ARCD, su uso puede retrasar la necesidad de procedimientos secundarios. Un tipo de escotadura sigmoidea específica no presenta riesgo para la OA y no parece estar relacionado con la conversión a la artroplastia de la ARCD.
