Quantifying outcome in clinical fracture healing trials remains challenging (2,3). Using highresolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in combination with micro finite element analysis (FEA), we previously described the typical healing of a distal radius fracture. This process consists of an increase in bone density of the trabecular compartment peaking at 6 wk post fracture, corresponding to the formation of a mineralized fracture callus (4,5). In the present case report, we describe a patient who deviated from this usually observed pattern of fracture healing. | Notes: | [Heyer, Frans L.; de Jong, Joost J.
