Background: The fracture risk induced by anti-estrogen therapy in patients with breast cancer remains controversial. The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis and systematic review to evaluate the risk of osteoporotic fracture in patients with breast cancer.
Methods: A systematic search was performed to identify studies that included any osteoporotic fracture (hip fracture and vertebral fracture) in patients breast cancer.
Introduction: Septic hip is a rare condition and is known to occur in immune-compromised patients. In general, surgeons are not concerned about the superimposed septic hip when they operate on patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) if the patient is not immune compromised. We evaluated 1) the proportion of septic arthritis among patients with ONFH, 2) the clinical and laboratory features, and 3) the outcomes of two-stage THA in those patients.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients with acute, unstable AC dislocations (surgery within 6 weeks after trauma). We excluded patients with chronic injury and distal clavicle fractures with CC ligaments disruption.
Purpose: To determine whether concomitant chronic syndesmotic injury or chronic medial ankle instability is associated with unsatisfactory outcomes in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CAI).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of prospectively collected data from 276 male military patients with CAI who had undergone a modified Broström procedure between May 2007 and March 2010 and had been followed up for a mean of 26.7 months (range, 22 to 41 months).
