Romosozumab is an anti-sclerostin antibody that increases bone formation and decreases bone resorption, and it became available for patients at high risk of osteoporotic fractures in Japan in 2019. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical effects, safety, and predictors of the effectiveness of 12 months of romosozumab therapy following daily or weekly administration of teriparatide. The study had an observational pre-post design and included 171 female patients.

Materials And Methods: People with diabetes accompanied by low isometric knee extensor strength using a simple manual dynamometer (n = 50) were screened and randomly divided into 2 groups: CWT (n = 25) and IWT (n = 25). Both groups were instructed by a physical therapist to perform walking training with the goal of 120 min/week over a 5-month period.
Introduction: Full endoscopic spine surgery continues to spread worldwide but has a long learning curve. Conventional endoscopy training uses live pigs or human cadavers, which has disadvantages such as high costs and limited availability. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and evaluate three-dimensional (3D)-printed models for endoscopy training.

- The study investigates the relationship between subcoracoid bursa (SCB) effusion and factors like rotator cuff tears (RCT) using MRI in patients with shoulder pain.
- Out of 80 analyzed shoulders, 41.3% exhibited SCB effusion, with RCT being significantly associated with SCB effusion presence.
- The size of the SCB effusion was larger in shoulders with RCT compared to those without, indicating possible pathological links in shoulder conditions.
Article Synopsis
- This report discusses the successful treatment of a 13-year-old boy with an acute avulsion fracture of the ischial tuberosity using a new approach involving suture anchor fixation.
- The injury occurred during running, leading to a significant displacement of the fractured fragment, which required surgical intervention 5 days later.
- Post-surgery, the patient showed complete bone fusion after one year and was able to return to competitive sports, demonstrating the effectiveness of the suture bridge technique with multiple anchors for this type of fracture.
