Adults with polio are at risk of hip fracture from middle age: A nationwide population-based cohort study.

Background: Having motor impairment since childhood and being at risk of osteoporosis and falls, adults with polio would be more likely to suffer a hip fracture (HF) and may experience different epidemiological characteristics from the general population.

Objective: To estimate the risk and incidence of HF in adults with polio.

Design: Using a national database, we conducted a population-based cohort study.

Femoral neck bone mineral density change is associated with shift in standing weight in hemiparetic stroke patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the association between the proportion of body weight bearing of the paretic leg and the rate of femoral neck bone mineral density loss in acute first-ever stroke patients.

Design: Patients were divided into those bearing less weight (<50%) on the paretic leg (n = 11) and those bearing more weight (≥50%) on the paretic leg (n = 11). The change in bone mineral density (grams per square centimeter per year) was calculated from the initial and follow-up dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (≥6 mos).

Subdural hygroma-related heterotopic ossification in a patient with a stroke: a case report.

Background: This study presents a patient with a stroke who had total paralysis of his left-side limbs after intracranial haemorrhaging, who later experienced partial weakness of the right-side limbs after a subdural hygroma. Both conditions occurred without major trauma. He received two separate operations, a craniotomy and placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt, before the appearance of the subdural hygroma.
