Background: Studies assessing the risk of fractures in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) have shown controversial results.
Goals: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the risk of fractures in IBD.
Study: Electronic databases were searched for cohort studies assessing the risk of fractures in IBD. The outcomes were the risk of overall fractures and at specific sites, and the association between the risk of fractures and the proportion of patients with corticosteroid use or osteoporosis.
Results: Ten studies including 470,541 patients were identified. The risk of overall fractures in IBD patients was similar to controls [odds ratio (OR), 1.08; P=0.70; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.72-1.62) with moderate heterogeneity (I=74.4%) which appeared to be due to the variable power and outcomes among the studies. The OR of fractures at the spine was significantly elevated at 2.21 (P<0.0001; 95% CI, 1.39-3.50) with low heterogeneity (I=26.1%). Meta-regression showed a correlation with the proportion of patients with steroid use. Risks of fractures at other sites (hip, rib, and wrist) were not elevated. Patients with fractures were more commonly on steroids compared with those without fractures (OR, 1.47; P=0.057; 95% CI, 0.99-2.20; I<0.0001%), but there was no correlation with osteoporosis.
Conclusions: IBD patients had no increased risk of overall fractures, but were at significantly increased risk of fractures at the spine, which was associated with steroid use. Strict surveillance and prevention of spine fractures are indicated in patients with IBD.

Department of Pharmacy, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, 430022, China.
Objective: Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)-4/6 inhibitors have significantly improved outcomes in several cancers but can also induce various organ system toxicities, including musculoskeletal disorders. This study aimed to comprehensively characterize the musculoskeletal adverse events (MSAEs) associated with CDK4/6 inhibitors based on real-world data.
Methods: Reports of MSAEs linked to CDK4/6 inhibitors from the first quarter (Q1) of 2015 and 2023 Q4 were extracted from the FAERS.

Background: Bone fractures represent a global public health issue. Over the past few decades, a sustained increase in the number of incidents and prevalent cases have been reported, as well as in the years lived with disability. Current monitoring techniques predominantly rely on imaging methods, which can result in subjective assessments, and expose patients to unnecessary cumulative doses of radiation.

Design: A retrospective cohort study assessing the mid-to-long-term outcomes and risk factors affecting the prosthetic success and survival of implant-supported cross-arch fixed dental prostheses (IFCDPs) with monolithic zirconia frameworks.
Cohort Selection: Forty-seven patients received a total of 51 cross-arch prostheses (27 maxillary and 24 mandibular prostheses), supported by 302 implants. Comprehensive clinical and radiographic records were available over a follow-up period ranging from 5 to 13 years.
Bioprosthetic valve fracture for transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve replacement: A systematic literature review.

Transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve replacement presents a viable, minimally invasive approach to replacing degraded bioprosthetic surgical valves. The major drawback of this technique is poor hemodynamics in the form of patient-prosthesis mismatch and high transvalvular gradients. This is commonly attributable to the reduced valvular diameter from the transcatheter heart valve fixed inside the degraded bioprosthesis.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Stanford University, Redwood City, California.
Background: The accurate inclusion of patient comorbidities ensures appropriate risk adjustment in clinical or health services research and payment models. Orthopaedic studies often use only the comorbidities included at the index inpatient admission when quantifying patient risk. The goal of this study was to assess improvements in capture rates and in model fit and discriminatory power when using additional data and best practices for comorbidity capture.
