Peri-prosthetic bone loss caused by stress shielding may be associated with aseptic loosening of femoral components. In order to increase primary stability and to reduce stress shielding, a three-dimensional, cementless individual femoral (Evolution K) component was manufactured using pre-operative CT scans. Using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, peri-prosthetic bone density was measured in 43 patients, three months, six months, 3.6 and 4.6 years after surgery. At final follow-up there was a significant reduction in mean bone density in the proximal Gruen zones of -30.3% (zone 7) and -22.8% (zone 1). The density in the other zones declined by a mean of between -4% and -16%. We conclude that the manufacture of a three-dimensional, custom-made femoral component could not prevent a reduction in peri-prosthetic bone density.

Lee's TRIAD-osteoporosis, fragility fracture, and bone health optimization.
Arch Osteoporos
January 2025
Beacon Hospital, 1, Jalan 215, Section 51, Off Jalan Templer, 46050, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.
Unlabelled: Osteoporosis, fragility fractures, and bone health optimization share the same pathophysiology, diagnostic tools, risk assessment, and treatments. Grouping them into "Lee's TRIAD" allows surgeons and physicians to collaborate more efficiently, using unified principles and strategies for managing these conditions.
Purpose: The primary goal of osteoporosis management is to prevent fragility fractures, which occur from falls from standing height or less in individuals over fifty.

Background: Cement fixation for total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a controversial topic. While cemented stems are associated with lower risk of periprosthetic fractures (PPF), cementless stems may offer superior biological fixation. This study analyzed peri-operative and short-term outcomes of cemented vs.

Article Synopsis
- The review examines the role of local antimicrobial protection in one-stage cemented and cementless hip revision surgeries, analyzing twelve studies on cemented procedures and seventeen studies on cementless procedures with at least two years of follow-up data.
- Results indicate that 83.3% of patients treated with cemented procedures had no infection recurrence, while those treated without antibiotic-loaded cement showed a higher infection control rate of 95.9%.
- For cementless procedures, 90.0% of patients remained infection-free on average, but no studies directly compared the effectiveness of local antibacterial protection, leading to inconclusive results regarding its role in surgery despite being safe and widely used.
Secondary Displacement was Common in Healing Distal Femur Fractures in a Cohort of Elderly Patients.

Introduction: Surgical treatment of distal femoral fractures (DFFs) in osteoporotic bone is challenging despite improvements in hardware and surgical techniques. The occurrence and degree of secondary displacement during healing after bridging plate fixation are still unknown. This study aimed to assess the occurrence and degree of secondary displacement in healing DFFs in elderly patients and correlate the secondary displacement to body mass index, bone density, and weight-bearing regimen.

Introduction: The United Kingdom (UK) and world's population is aging with patients living longer, often with many co-morbidities. It is expected that patients of extreme old age would have poor outcomes following trauma; however, this assumption is not clearly evidenced. This study aims to present the outcomes of patients aged 100 or older admitted to a single hospital trust following admission for orthopaedic trauma.
