AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The cases of ununited fracture of the femoral neck, treated by a technique described by Brackett (1927) and modified by Merle d'Aubigné (1968) are reported. The femoral head was partly evacuated, care being taken to preserve its blood supply and then impacted onto the femoral neck. The results were found to be satisfactory.

Fracture Prevention with Infrequent Zoledronate in Women 50 to 60 Years of Age.
N Engl J Med
January 2025
From the Department of Medicine, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand (M.J.B., Z.N., A.M., C.G., V.P., B.M., A.G., I.R.R., G.G., A.H.); the Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA (C.G.); and the Department of Radiology, Starship Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand (S.B.).
Background: Zoledronate prevents fractures in older women when administered every 12 to 18 months, but its effects on bone density and bone turnover persist beyond 5 years. Whether infrequent zoledronate administration would prevent vertebral fractures in early postmenopausal women is unknown.
Methods: We conducted a 10-year, prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving early postmenopausal women (50 to 60 years of age) with bone mineral density T scores lower than 0 and higher than -2.
Effect of romosozumab on bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in premenopausal women with low bone mass.

Department of Internal Medicine, Severance Hospital, Endocrine Research Institute, Yonsei University College of Medicine, 50-1 Yonsei-Ro, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, 03722, Republic of Korea.
Unlabelled: We investigated the efficacy of romosozumab in premenopausal women with low bone mass. Romosozumab substantially increased bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in these women, aligning with its proven therapeutic benefits for postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Purpose: Romosozumab, an anti-sclerostin antibody, is a promising anabolic agent that increases bone formation and decreases bone resorption.
Surgical technique and outcomes associated with the use of femoral vein in venous reconstruction for superior vena cava syndrome.
Vascular

Department of Vascular Surgery, Miller Family Heart Vascular and Thoracic Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, USA.
Objective: Superior vena cava syndrome (SVC) is a debilitating disease, and surgical reconstruction has been described with some of the best results using spiral great saphenous vein (SGSV) grafts. SGSV grafts can be difficult to construct, and a long segment of saphenous vein is needed. Femoral vein has been an excellent conduit for infected aortic and peripheral reconstructions in our hands, and we sought to review outcomes using this conduit for SVC reconstruction.

Introduction: A decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) accompanied by muscle weakness during aging significantly increases the probability of low-energy fracture occurrence, but it can also happen in those with a non-osteoporotic score (treatment gap). To improve the identification process of those at risk, the authors proposed using the interconnectivity between bone mineral density and muscle tissue.
Material And Methods: A total of 20,776 patient records were collected from the database in the period 2008-2021.
The Impact of Additional Fractures and Polytrauma on Complications in Patients Undergoing Femoral Neck Fracture Fixation.

January 2025
Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, Iowa, USA.
Background: While there have been significant advancements in recent years, complications following fixation for femoral neck fractures remain a concern. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the influence of polytrauma and additional fractures on the occurrence of complications in patients who underwent surgical fixation for femoral neck fractures. The study focused on analyzing patient demographics, comorbidities, fracture classifications, fixation methods, and the likelihood of experiencing post-operative complications, with a specific emphasis on the impact of polytrauma and additional fractures.
