The Forsythia has been used in herbal medicine, and the leaf is also expected to contain various putative bioactive substances. In this study, we investigated the effects of Forsythia viridissima leaf extract (FLE) on bone metabolism. The anti-osteoporotic effect of FLE was determined in male rats fed a low-calcium diet.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of integrating obstetric parameters into the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) on the precision of risk assessment.
Patients And Methods: In this retrospective study, patients who experienced postmenopausal fragility fractures of the distal radius, proximal femur, or lumbar vertebrae between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2023, were included. Obstetric histories, along with standard FRAX parameters, were obtained by phone interviews.

Purpose: Osteoporotic patients are at risk of peri-implant fractures after distal radius fixation. A unicortical screw in the proximal hole of the plate can theoretically decrease stress riser formation by eliminating the hole in the far bone cortex. This construct has been proposed in orthopedic literature to prevent peri-implant fractures but has not been tested in an osteoporotic distal radius model.

Background: The clinical benefit of locking plates in distal fibula fractures has not yet been proven. In addition, the risk of wound complications appears to be higher than with conventional tubular plates. We hypothesize that the benefits of locking plates in terms of biomechanical properties are outweighed by a higher risk of wound complications.

Background: Kümmell disease (KD)-a rare and relatively complex spinal condition-is a type of posttraumatic osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture manifesting as a delayed collapse of a vertebral body. Although most patients with KD present with pain in the fracture area, some present with pain in the rib region or distal lumbosacral region, without pain in the fracture area, which poses challenges for diagnosing and treating KD.
Objective: We aimed to explore whether percutaneous kyphoplasty can alleviate pain distal to the fracture area caused by either Stage I or Stage II KD.
