Background: Recent technological advances have introduced novel methods for measuring body composition, each with unique benefits and limitations. The choice of method often depends on the trade-offs between accuracy, cost, participant burden, and the ability to measure specific body composition compartments.

Objective: To review the considerations of cost, accuracy, portability, and participant burden in reference and emerging body composition assessment methods, and to evaluate their clinical applicability.

Short-term prediction of clinical and radiographic contralateral hip osteoarthritis after index total hip arthroplasty.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

December 2024

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgery, Division of Orthopaedics, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Martinistraße 52, 20246, Hamburg, Germany.

Introduction: Patients with primary hip osteoarthritis undergoing unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) often face uncertainty about the future need for arthroplasty in the contralateral hip. We aimed to identify parameters that have predictive value with regard to the necessity for contralateral THA or the development of contralateral radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) phenotypes following index surgery.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed 220 patients undergoing THA.

Introduction: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are a major cause of morbidity, disability, and mortality among the elderly. Traditional methods for fracture risk assessment, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), may not fully capture the complex factors contributing to fracture risk. This study aims to enhance vertebral fracture risk prediction by integrating radiomics features extracted from computed tomography (CT) scans with clinical data, utilizing advanced machine learning techniques.

Clinical significance of trabecular bone score of DXA in hip fracture patients-comparative study between trochanteric fractures and neck fractures.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

November 2024

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Gangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, Hallym University College of Medicine, 1 Singil-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, 07441, Republic of Korea.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the differences in Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) between patients with femoral neck fractures and those with trochanteric fractures in older adults who have experienced hip fractures.
  • Researchers analyzed data from 249 hip fracture patients aged 60 and older, measuring various bone density scores but found no significant differences in demographic factors or T-scores between the two groups.
  • However, femoral neck fracture patients exhibited higher TBS scores than those with trochanteric fractures, suggesting TBS may provide better insight into bone quality for hip fracture patients compared to traditional T-scores.
