Human progeroid syndromes (PSs) include a group of genetic "premature aging" diseases that affect a variety of organ systems. Bone diseases are common sequelae of patients diagnosed with PSs. Teriparatide therapy is recommended for elderly men with low bone mineral density (BMD; T-score <-2.5) and at least 1 fragility fracture who are unable to tolerate bisphosphonates. We describe a 20-yr-old patient affected by PS and severe osteoporosis complicated with femoral fracture. The patient experienced a significant improvement in lumbar spine BMD after treatment with teriparatide.

Introduction: The authors of the latest recommendations state that osteoporosis diagnosis should not rely solely on densitometric (DXA) criteria. Fracture risk assessment is crucial for determining diagnosis and intervention thresholds. Comprehensive assessment of fracture risk requires consideration of bone mineral density (BMD) results, use of risk calculators like Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAXTM), and analysis of clinical and lifestyle factors.

Introduction: A densitometric diagnosis of osteoporosis qualifies patients to a diagnostic-therapeutic process, but densitometric evaluation may not be sufficient for osteopaenic patients. Therefore, it is essential to assess osteoporosis risk factors, fracture history, and 10-year fracture risk, and classify patients into low-, medium-, high-, or very high-risk categories. In our study, we aimed to assess the risk of fractures in patients with newly diagnosed osteopaenia and determine the percentage of patients at high and very high risk of fracture.

Background: Current research on osteoporosis (OP) in hemophilia is insufficient. The suitability of high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) for evaluating osteoporosis in hemophilia remains unclear.
Aim: To investigate the current status of osteoporosis and the applicability of HR-pQCT in adult hemophilia patients.
Objective: L5/S1 segment is one of the most common lumbar degenerative segments with high clinical failure rate. When the clinically responsible segment consists of one or more segments including L4/L5 segment, whether to merge the severely degraded L5/S1 segment together is a common problem plaguing clinicians. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors for preoperative adjacent segment degeneration L5/S1 segment occuring Postoperative adjacent segment disease(ASDis), analyze the correlation between the high risk factors and the occurrence of adjacent segment disease, clarify the preventive measures and direction, and provide references for clinical selection of personalized treatment.
