This population-based cohort study aimed to evaluate the risk of osteoporosis and fractures associated with higher-potency statin use compared to lower-potency statin use in patients with stroke, using data from the Health Insurance and Review Assessment database of South Korea (2010-2019). Patients who received statin within 30 days after hospitalization for a new-onset stroke (n = 276,911) were divided into higher-potency (n = 212,215, 76.6%) or lower-potency (n = 64,696, 23.

Introduction: Hip hemiarthroplasty is a surgical procedure that requires the adhesion of the prosthetic implant by utilizing a fixation technique, either cemented or noncemented. The current literature does not provide a clear recommendation on a superior technique, although many countries outside the US have guidelines recommending cemented over noncemented procedures. Further, surgeon perceptions and beliefs related to the cemented and noncemented techniques in hip arthroplasty fractures are generally unknown.

Objective: Femoral neck fractures in the elderly are a global health issue, with the choice between cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty remaining a topic of debate. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the effects of the two surgical options on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), mortality, and functional outcomes.

Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing cemented with uncemented hemiarthroplasty in patients aged 50 years and older with femoral neck fractures.

Objectives: To identify independent risk factors for perioperative hidden blood loss (HBL) in intertrochanteric femoral fractures (ITFs) and to develop a predictive model.

Methods: We enrolled 231 patients with ITFs who underwent proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) surgery at the Orthopedics Department of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital, Jiangsu Province, China, from January 2021 to December 2023. Hidden blood loss was calculated using the OSTEO formula, and independent risk factors were screened using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) logistic regression.
