title: Decreased radial bone mass in Colles' fracture.
abstract: 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.
