Gout and Hip Fractures X-ray details
This x-ray photograph is from:
Paik, Julie M., Seoyoung C. Kim, Diane Feskanich, Hyon K. Choi, Daniel H. Solomon, and Gary C. Curhan. “Gout and risk of fracture in women: a prospective cohort study.” Arthritis & Rheumatology 69, no. 2 (2017): 422-428.
That study concludes:
a history of gout was associated with a modestly increased risk of hip fracture in women, but not associated with a risk of wrist fracture in women. If the association between gout and fracture risk is confirmed in future studies, it will be important to examine whether treatment of gout could impact the fracture risk
