Reducing Re-fractures Post Percutaneous Kyphoplasty: The Impact of Zoledronic Acid with Calcium and Vitamin D3 in Osteoporotic Patients.

Background: Osteoporosis poses a significant health challenge characterized by reduced bone density and increased fracture risk. Percutaneous kyphoplasty, a common treatment, aims to stabilize vertebral fractures. However, adjunctive therapies like zoledronic acid remain underexplored in improving postoperative outcomes and bone health in these patients.

lncRNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) knockdown alleviates LPS-induced chondrocytes inflammatory injury via regulating miR-488-3p/sex determining region Y-related HMG-box 11 (SOX11) axis.

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been shown to be involved in the development of osteoarthritis (OA), an age-related bone and joint disease. However, the function and possible molecular mechanism of lncRNA myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced chondrocytes injury model remain unexplored. Cell viability and apoptosis were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) and flow cytometry, respectively.

[Treatment of floating knee injury in children with elastic intramedullary nail].

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of elastic intramedullary nail in minimally invasive treatment of floating knee injury in children.

Methods: From January 2009 to September 2017, 11 children with floating knee injury were treated with one-off open reduction and elastic intramedullary nail or external fixator fixation, including 7 males and 4 females, aged 5.0 to 11.

Simultaneous spontaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture with secondary hyperparathyroidism in a patient receiving hemodialysis: A case report.

Rationale: Simultaneous spontaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture is a rare orthopedic injury; its initial diagnosis is misdiagnosed in up to 50% of patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. Early diagnosis and surgical repair are important to achieve an excellent functional outcome.

Patient Concerns: We report a case of simultaneous spontaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism.

[Treatment of Pipkin I and II hip fractures by anterolateral hip approach].

Objective: To investigate the clinical effect of absorbable screw fixation by anterolateral approach (McFarland and Osborne approach) for the treatment of Pipkin type I and type II fractures.

Methods: From March 2008 to February 2016, 8 cases of femoral head fractures were treated by absorbable screw fixation through anterolateral approach (McFarland and Osborne approach) including 5 males and 3 females with an average age of 36 years old ranging 23 to 58 years old. The course of the disease was 3 to 12 days (means 5 days).

A case report of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor-induced osteomalacia.

Rationale: Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is a rare and often misdiagnosed syndrome. Surgical resection is currently the first line treatment for TIO.

Patient Concerns: Here we report the case of a 49-year-old woman presented with intermittent pain in the right chest and bilateral hip that had persisted for over two years.

[Mini-open repair for the treatment of acute closed achilles tendon ruptures].

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of mini-open repair for the treatment of acute closed achilles tendon ruptures.

Methods: From April 2012 and October 2013,14 patients (14 feet) with acute closed achilles tendon ruptures were treated in our department. They were 9 males and 5 females, with an average age of 30.

[Clinical applications of sternoclavicular hook plate for the treatment of sternoclavicular joint dislocation].

Objective: To observe the clinical therapeutic effects of sternoclavicular hook plate for the treatment of sternoclavicular joint dislocation.

Methods: From June 2010 to June 2012, 7 patients with sternoclavicular joint dislocation were treated with sternoclavicular hook plate fixation. Among the 7 patients, 5 patients were male and 2 patients were female, and the average age was 42.
