    ABSTRACT Objective: To study w hether bone lo ss would occur in the distal radius after a Co lles’ fracture

    and w hether th is lo ss could be p revented using a Ch inese t radit ionalmedicine of k idney invigo rat ion (CTM ).

    Methods: Fo rty2five women w ith a recent fracture of Co lles’ and low bone m ineral density (BMD) of lumbar
