Insulin Resistance and Bone Mineral Density: A Comprehensive Examination Using UK Biobank Data.

The association between insulin resistance (IR) and bone mineral density (BMD) remains contentious. The aim of this study is to assess the predictive capability of the Triglyceride and Glucose (TyG) index concerning changes in bone mineral density, encompassing both deterioration and improvement. This study analyzed data from the UK Biobank, encompassing 2527 participants after exclusions.

Successful restoration of failed Achilles tendon surgery with semitendinosus and gracilis tendon graft: a case report.

Objective: This case presentation aims to highlight the challenges and outcomes associated with a partial tear of the Achilles tendon (AT) in an elite marathon runner. The objective was to restore tendon anatomy and optimize strength recovery through surgical intervention.

Method: We present the case of a marathon runner who suffered a partial AT tear and underwent an initial surgery that failed.
