Increasing wrist fracture rates in children may have major implications for future adult fracture burden. [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Background and purpose - Childhood fractures are associated with lower peak bone mass (a determinant of osteoporosis in old age) and higher adult fracture risk. By examining time trends in childhood fracture epidemiology, it may be possible to estimate the vector of fragility fracture risk in the future. Patients and methods - By using official inpatient and outpatient data from the county of Skane in Sweden, 1999-2010, we ascertained distal forearm fractures in children aged \textless/= 16 years and estimated overall and age- and sex-specific rates and time trends (over 2.8 million patient years) and compared the results to earlier estimations in the same region from 1950 onwards. Results - During the period
