Forearm fracture of Colles type is one of the most frequently observed osteoporotic fractures in women in postmenopausal period. It is proved that the group of women who had Celles fractures (n = 63) has lower bone mineral density in all measured sites except hip comparing to the controls (n = 53). Osteopenia found involves trabecular bone. Women with previous forearm fracture can be treated as the group of increased risk for spine and femoral neck fracture in the future.
