THE INFLUENCE OF WINE CONSUMPTION IN FRACTURES COMPLEXITY
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to determine a relation between wine consumption and bones structure, especially the relation with the complexity of the fracture trajectories. As we have shown in our previous articles, in wine chemical composition there are a series of metabolically active compounds, especially at vascular level. Therefore, there is a higher probability that at least a part of these compounds influence, in one way or another, the stage of vascular invasion of the fibrous callus. This study included a number of 121 cases who came at the emergency service with fractures at the level of the inferior extremity of the radius. To quantify the fracture trajectory and the degree of displacement of the fragments, the Kapadnji classification (1988) was used, which divides the fractures of the distal extremities of the radius in 12 types. We observed that the frequency of simple fractures is higher in the cases who declared to be wine consumers, which leads to the idea that bone resistance is higher among this population.
