Osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone density and strength. Bone mass peaks between age 30 and 40 and then declines. This can be accelerated by factors including menopause and insufficient dietary calcium. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is currently the standard treatment for osteoporosis. However, growing concern over potential side effects of HRT has driven a search for alternative therapies. A recent report 1 reveals a potential alternative to HRT: a gender-neutral synthetic steroid that increases bone mass and strength without affecting reproductive organs. This compound acts via a novel extranuclear sex steroid receptor signaling mechanism that has important implications for nuclear receptor biology and human health.

Cannulated screws have significant advantages, including ease of insertion and increased accuracy, during fracture fixation. Unraveling of screw threads is an uncommon complication related to cannulated screws. This single-institution case series aims to highlight four cases of unraveling of cannulated screw threads during the fixation of medial epicondyle humerus fractures in adolescents.

Objective: The aim of this study is to develop and validate a prediction model for fall risk factors in hospitalized older adults with osteoporosis.
Methods: A total of 615 older adults with osteoporosis hospitalized at a tertiary (grade 3A) hospital in Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, China, between September 2022 and August 2023 were selected for the study using convenience sampling. Fall risk factors were identified using univariate and logistic regression analyses, and a predictive risk model was constructed and visualized through a nomogram.
Purpose: Primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction graft failure remains a significant health concern in young patients. Despite the high incidence of poor graft integration in these patients and the resulting high failure rate, little consideration has been given to the quality of the bone into which the graft is anchored at reconstruction. Therefore, we investigated post ACL injury mineralized tissue changes in the ACL femoral entheses of young males and compared them to changes previously reported for young females.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and prolonged high-dose glucocorticoid (GC) treatment are established risk factors for osteoporosis.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of denosumab according to the GC dose considered to increase the risk of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in patients with RA.
Design: A retrospective analysis of collected data on RA patients with osteoporosis starting denosumab.
