SUMMARY: Data of 17 male patients with a final diagnosis of transient osteoporosis (TO) of the hip seen at the radiology department of a university hospital over a period of 7 years were retrospectively studied. Comparison of the proportion of doctors among TO cases with that among other hip joint pathologies revealed a significant difference. PURPOSE: The objective of this study is to present clinical and radiological findings of hip TO and to assess the association of the condition with patients' occupation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data of 17 male patients with a final diagnosis of transient osteoporosis of the hip seen at the radiology department of a university hospital over a period of 7 years were retrospectively studied. RESULTS: The diagnosis of transient hip osteoporosis was in accordance with the published literature for clinical, imaging findings, and laboratory results. Among the 17 cases of male transient hip osteoporosis, 65% were physicians and 12% were commercial pilots. Comparison of the proportion of doctors among TO cases with that among other hip joint pathologies revealed a significant difference. Abnormal low hormone levels of testosterone and 25-cholicalciferol (vitamin D) were detected in three and two patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: The preponderance of physicians among patients with transient hip osteoporosis has not been previously reported. Etiological contribution of endocrine pathology and type of occupation to the causation of transient osteoporosis merits further research.

Background Aims: Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is a significant public health burden. Previously, we estimated prepandemic SLD prevalence determined by transient elastography assessed hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in the United States. We now estimate prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and examine associations with lifestyle, socioeconomic, and other factors.

Atraumatic bilateral femoral neck fractures are rare, especially in younger patients and those without significant comorbidities. However, pregnant individuals appear to be at increased risk due to normal physiological changes in calcium balance, leading to transient osteoporosis of the hip. In these individuals, calcium and bone mineral density are generally decreased, reflecting the calcium demands of the developing fetus.

When they are adults, they present a challenge as candidates for total hip arthroplasty (THA) because of abnormal bone development, their relative youth, and also because of their disease. Performing subtrochanteric osteotomy associated with THA is technically challenging, and healing of osteotomies has never been reported in this population with frequent osteonecrotic bone, whether using cemented or uncemented arthroplasties.

Background: Septic arthritis (SA) of the hip joint is a serious infection that can result in irreversible complications. Distinguishing septic arthritis from transient synovitis, the most common cause of hip pain in children, is crucial for preventing severe outcomes. Existing research has primarily focused on identifying clinical signs and laboratory findings that indicate high-risk patients who may need invasive diagnostic procedures; however, results have been inconsistent.

Introduction: Short cementless stems offer advantages such as bone-stock preservation and minimally invasive insertion. Despite encouraging short- to midterm outcomes, the long-term clinical and radiological implications of short, titanium, and porous plasma-sprayed flat-tapered stems remain unclear.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of 138 primary total hip arthroplasties, conducted between 2010 and 2015 in 130 patients, with a minimum 8-year follow-up was performed.
