As for any chronic disease, adherence to osteoporosis treatment is low. Folates and vitamin B12 decrease hip fracture risk in elderly Japanese with stroke. Raloxifene (Evista) decreases the incidence of positive estrogen receptor breast cancer and could prevent cardiovascular events in patients at high risk. Strontium ranelate (Protélos) prevents hip fracture in elderly women. The action of alendronate (Fosamax) on bone mineral density and markers of bone remodelling is of higher amplitude than that of risedronate (Actonel). Once monthly ibandronate (Bonviva) increases bone mineral density in post menopausal women with osteoporosis. Excessive suppression of bone remodelling and osteonecrosis of the yaws could be related to bisphosphonate intake.

The Impact of Additional Fractures and Polytrauma on Complications in Patients Undergoing Femoral Neck Fracture Fixation.
Iowa Orthop J
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.

Rothman Orthopaedic Institute at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Cementless stems are commonly used in hemiarthroplasty (HA) for femoral neck fractures. Recent studies have reported increased risk of periprosthetic fracture with cementless stems compared to cemented HA. In elective total hip arthroplasty (THA), lower proximal canal fill ratios (CFR) of cementless stems have been associated with worse outcomes.

The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated with osteoporosis (OP) (T2DM-OP) is growing. Dapagliflozin and metformin are commonly prescribed to manage glycemic levels in T2DM patients. We investigated the clinical efficacy of combining dapagliflozin with metformin in elderly patients with T2DM-OP.

Pre- and perioperative management of malnutrition is crucial for the success of hip and knee arthroplasties. Various studies indicate that malnutrition, particularly when associated with vitamin D deficiency, significantly increases the risk of postoperative complications such as periprosthetic fractures and infections, prolonged hospital stays, and higher mortality rates. Adequate preoperative nutritional intake, including vitamin D supplementation, can improve arthroplasty outcomes.
