Unlabelled: Osteoporosis is often underrecognized and undertreated following periprosthetic fractures (PPF). Our study found that between 2010 and 2020, there has been no significant change in the rates of osteoporosis screening or treatment within 1 year following PPF. Orthopedic surgeons can play an integral role in helping to curtail the osteoporosis epidemic.

- After starting standard chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel), she developed an itchy rash that was found to be a non-resectable in situ cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC).
- A PD1-inhibitor was added to her treatment, leading to a complete response of both the ovarian cancer and the cSCC by the time of surgery.

- Preoperative embolization is an endovascular procedure that helps in the surgical removal of meningiomas but lacks a standardized system to measure its effectiveness during the procedure.
- Researchers developed an angiographic grading system to help assess and report the level of tumor devascularization achieved through this process, involving a scale from 0 (no embolization) to 4 (complete embolization).
- Analysis of data from 80 patients revealed that tumor location and the type of arterial feeders significantly influenced the success of embolization, with certain tumor types showing higher devascularization grades and a low complication rate of 2.5%.*
