Results of surgical treatment of trochanteric fractures in 225 aged patients are presented. The DHS system was used in 115 (51,5%) patients, core system constructed by A.I. Gorodnichenko was used in 56 (24,9%), PFN and PFN-A fixators used in 45 (20%) and 9 (4%) patients were treated with the use of DCS system. Follow-up results after 1 year were studied in 183 (81,3%) patients. Excellent results achieved in 145 (79,2%) cases, satisfactory outcome registered in 38 (20,8%). Authors recommend PFN and PFN-A fixators, as well as the A.I. Gorodnichenko's core system for the surgical treatment of trochanteric fractures especially in aged patients with concomitant ostheporosis.

Unlabelled: In patients receiving long-term treatment with denosumab, denosumab discontinuation via sequential treatment with zoledronate, resulted in a minor decrease in bone mass density (BMD) of 0-2.5% within the first year and stabile BMD in the second year, thus showing that repeated treatments with zoledronate limit the loss of BMD, when discontinuing denosumab.
Purpose: Discontinuing denosumab (DMAb) rapidly decreases bone mineral density (BMD) and increases the risk of multiple vertebral fractures.
Is there an association between birth characteristics and fractures in young adults? The HUNT Study, Norway.

Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Science, NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway.
Unlabelled: This population study investigated the association between birth characteristics and fracture risk in 11,099 young adults (aged 19-54 years). Our findings indicate that birth weight, gestational age, and birth weight for gestational age were not associated with fractures in the wrist, humerus, hip, and spine in this population.
Purpose: Skeletal development starts during fetal life, and it is estimated that most bone formation occurs in the 3rd trimester.
