Purpose: To examine any association between osteoporosis and the failure of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) leading to revision surgery and to investigate whether the use of bisphosphonates had any influence on the observed associations.
Methods: Patients who underwent ARCR with a diagnosis of osteoporosis were identified from the PearlDiver database and stratified according to whether there was a filled prescription for a bisphosphonate in the perioperative period. Patients with osteoporosis who underwent ARCR with bisphosphonate use were compared with age- and sex-matched patients who underwent ARCR with osteoporosis without a prescription for a bisphosphonate within 1 year of surgery and patients who underwent ARCR without a diagnosis of osteoporosis and no bisphosphonate use. The primary outcome measure was ipsilateral revision rotator cuff surgery, including revision repair, debridement for a diagnosis of a rotator cuff tear, or reverse shoulder arthroplasty. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to control for patient demographic characteristics and comorbidities during comparisons.
Results: We identified 2,706 patients, including 451 in the bisphosphonate study group; 902 in the osteoporosis, no-bisphosphonate control group; and 1,353 in the non-osteoporosis control group. Patients with osteoporosis, including those to whom bisphosphonates were prescribed, had a significantly higher rate of revision rotator cuff surgery (6.58%) than patients without osteoporosis (4.51%) (odds ratio, 1.60; 95% confidence interval, 1.30-1.97; P = .008). No significant difference in the rate of revision surgery was found between patients with osteoporosis using bisphosphonates (6.65%) and age- and sex-matched patients with osteoporosis not using bisphosphonates (6.54%, P = .718).
Conclusions: By using an administrative database, this study was able to show a substantial difference in the revision surgery rate after ARCR in patients with osteoporosis compared with matched controls.
Level Of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

In 2017, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) published a Clinical Practice Guideline Update for the Diagnosis, Evaluation, Prevention, and Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD). Since then, new lines of evidence have been published related to evaluating disordered mineral metabolism and bone quality and turnover, identifying and inhibiting vascular calcification, targeting vitamin D levels, and regulating parathyroid hormone. For an in-depth consideration of the new insights, in October 2023, KDIGO held a Controversies Conference on CKD-MBD: Progress and Knowledge Gaps Toward Personalizing Care.

The objective of this retrospective, database study was to characterize the rate, magnitude and timeline of increases in parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels post-denosumab (DMAb) vs. zoledronic acid (ZA) injection in patients with osteoporosis and near normal baseline PTH. Included were osteoporotic females, ≥50 years, initiating treatment with 60 mg DMAb or 5 mg ZA.

Purpose: The correlation between serum vitamin D and mortality in patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis remains unclear. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [(25(OH)D] and mortality in patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis.
Methods And Result: This prospective cohort study included patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2001 to 2018.

Introduction: Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are prone to low bone mineral density (BMD). This study aimed to explore factors associated with improved bone health after parathyroidectomy (PTx).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent PTx for PHPT at our institution between 2016 and 2020.

Background: Osteoporosis, a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, poses a significant public health challenge globally. While the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), its use is limited by factors like spinal deformities and artifacts. This study aims to explore the potential of routine T1-weighted MRI sequences in predicting osteopenia and osteoporosis through the vertebral bone signal (VB) to cerebrospinal fluid signal (CSF) ratio.
