We investigated the effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) on upper gastrointestinal(GI) disorders in orthopaedic patients. Among a total of 1,923 patients (946 men and 977 women, mean age: 53 years) who received NSAIDs, 486 patients (25%) experienced some adverse reactions including mild GI symptoms, 364 patients (19%) had gastric mucosal lesion, and 37 patients (2%) had gastric ulcer. The number of patients with upper GI disorders was significantly higher in patients aged 50 years or older, than those under 50 years. Irrespective of the kinds of NSAIDs applied, our results suggest an increased risk of adverse effect causing upper GI disorders in orthopaedic patients who are administered NSAIDs for a long-term.

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a complex three-dimensional spine deformity, presents a formidable challenge for orthopedic residents in understanding its anatomy and surgical strategies. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of three-dimensional printing (3DP) models in enhancing the comprehension of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis among orthopedic residents.
Methods: Forty orthopedic residents were randomly divided into two groups, the first group received lectures that were augmented with 3DP models illustrating five cases of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, along with corresponding X-ray and CT images.
