Unlabelled: Using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink, our cohort study matched 237,297 individuals with hearing loss (HL) to 829,431 without HL. The study found an 8-10% higher risk of major osteoporotic fracture in individuals with HL compared to those without. Additionally, within the HL cohort, we identified risk factors for potential inclusion in fracture risk models.

Reverse Hill-Sachs lesions (RHSL) are common complications associated with posterior shoulder dislocations and represent a significant challenge for preserving joint stability and function. If untreated, these compression fractures of the anteromedial humeral head can compromise the integrity of the joint, predisposing patients to recurrent instability and arthropathy. While various treatment modalities exist, achieving an anatomic reduction of the defect while preserving the articular cartilage remains a desirable outcome, particularly in acute settings.
