Introduction: In orthopaedics, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions are among the most common surgical interventions. Two methods are preferably used: autografts from the hamstring tendon (HT) or patella tendon (PT). The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare these two methods when returning to sports.

We used prospectively collected data from a single university hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark for consecutive patients with hip fractures, aged 60 years and older, treated between September 2008 to September 2010 (n = 1186). Preoperative biochemical and anamnestic data were used as predictors and outcome was survival at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the fracture.

- - The study aimed to assess whether certain genetic variations in the GIP receptor might increase fracture risk or lower bone mineral density (BMD) in people managing obesity through weight loss.
- - Researchers analyzed three specific gene variants and a group of predicted loss-of-function variants across a large population of up to 1.2 million participants, examining their correlation to different types of fractures and BMD measurements.
- - The findings indicated that none of the examined gene variants were linked to a higher risk of fractures or lower BMD, suggesting that these genetic factors do not adversely affect bone health in the context of obesity treatment.

Traumatic fractures are often treated conservatively. Bone healing is a complex process and the complexities of a fracture, bone quality, treatment, and patient factors are all crucial. Routine X-rays and clinical follow-ups are a significant cost to society as well as exposing the patient to increased radiation and should only be performed if there is a risk of complications that may impact the treatment.

Intensive prehabilitation aimed at complete cessation reduces the complication rate but is time-consuming. The purpose of this study was to carry out preoperative pilot tests (randomized design) of the feasibility (1A) and validation (1B) of two novel prehabilitation apps, habeat® (Ha-app) or rehaviour® (Re-app).
