Abstract

Background: Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by abnormal loss of bone density resulting inbones that are brittle and liable to fracture. Most cases of fracture in the world are due to osteoporosis. InIndonesia, the prevalence of osteopenia (early osteoporosis) and of osteoporosis are relatively high. Oneof the causes of this situation is the low level of public knowledge about how to prevent osteoporosis. Thisstudy was conducted to identify the knowledge and risk of osteoporosis among pre-elderly at CipacingVillage Jatinangor District in 2014.Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Cipacing Village Jatinangor District to 160 respondentswho were classified as pre-elderly (aged 45-59 years) and assessed on knowledge and risk factors forosteoporosis through questionnaire-guided interviews after the informed consent was obtained.Thecollected data were presented using frequency distribution.Results: A total of 100 respondents (62.5%) had good knowledge about osteoporosis-related information,including definitions, causes, risk factors, signs and symptoms, impacts, and prevention. Most respondents,79 respondents (49.4%), are at risk for osteoporosis.Conclusions: Knowledge of osteoporosis among pre-elderly at Cipacing Village Jatinangor District arelargely classified into “good knowledge” category.

Abstract

Background: Fracture on long bone is a complicated case to manage. Bone graft procedure involving growth factors has been widely studied with promising results. Recently, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been introduced as having potential in healing process. This study aimed to explore the quality of fracture healing on long bones treated with bone graft with and without PRF combination.Methods: This study was conducted between October to November 2018 on 18 rabbits that were divided into 2 groups. A 5 mm fracture was created on tibial bones and the fracture was stabilized using a 2.0 mm mini plate. The defect was then treated by an autogenic bone graft with and without  PRF. Histological analysis was conducted 3 weeks after the treatment and a scoring was performed using the Salkeld system. The quality of union; cortex development and remodeling; and bone graft incorporation and new bone formation were then analyzed.Results: There were significant differences between fractures in rabbits given PRF than those without PRF in terms of  union quality (p 0.040), cortex growth and remodeling (p 0.0001), bone graft and new bone union (p 0.0001), as well as in the total Salkeld score (p 0.0001).Conclusion: PRF given with bone graft therapy can enhance the quality of fracture healing of a long bone. Further studies on how the PRF content influences fracture healing process needs to be performed to further explore this effect.
