Background: The aim of our study was to evaluate the relevance of FGF23-klotho axis in the predisposition for bone fractures in type 2 diabetic patients with early chronic kidney disease.
Methods: In a prospective study we included 126 type 2 diabetic patients with CKD stages 2-3 (from 2010 to 2017). We used descriptive statistics, ANOVA and chi-square test. Our population was divided into two groups according to the occurrence of a bone fracture event or not, and the groups were compared considering several biological and laboratorial parameters. We employed a multiple regression model to identify risk factors for bone fracture events and hazard ratios (HR) were calculated using a backward stepwise likelihood ratio (LR) Cox regression.
Results: Patients with a fracture event displayed higher levels of FGF-23, Phosphorus, PTH, TNF-α, OxLDL, HOMA-IR, calcium × phosphorus product and ACR and lower levels of Osteocalcin, α-Klotho, 25(OH)D3 and eGFR compared with patients without a fracture event (p < 0.001). The number of patients with a fracture event was higher than expected within inclining CKD stages (χ2, p = 0.06). The occurrence of fracture and the levels of TNF- α, klotho, 25(OH)D3 and OxLDL were found to predict patient entry into RRT (p < 0.05). Age, osteocalcin, α-Klotho and FGF-23 independently influenced the occurrence of bone fracture (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: α-Klotho and FGF-23 levels may have a good clinical use as biomarkers to predict the occurrence of fracture events.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication after hip arthroplasty. Here, we investigated the clinical efficacy and safety of prophylactic aspirin vs. conventional therapy in hip arthroplasty for femoral neck fracture.

Bone-modifying agents (BMAs) have been widely used to reduce skeletal-related events, including pathological fractures. Herein, we aimed to clarify the incidence of pathological fractures caused by high-risk femoral bone metastases after palliative radiotherapy (RT) in the BMA era and evaluate the necessity of prophylactic surgical stabilization. We assessed 90 patients with high-risk femoral bone metastases, indicated by Mirels' scores ≥ 8, without pathological fractures and surgical fixations, who received palliative RT at our institution between January 2009 and December 2018.

Introduction: Higher perioperative opioid use has been associated with an increase in periprosthetic joint infection, thromboembolic complications, respiratory events, gastrointestinal complications, cost, and length of stay following hip and knee arthroplasty. Limited data exists regarding the relationship between the postoperative opioid dose and complication rates following primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between perioperative opioid consumption and postoperative complications following TSA.

Background: Vertebral fractures in young populations are associated with intervertebral disc disorders later in life. However, damage to the annulus fibrosus has been observed in rapidly loaded spines even without the subsequent occurrence of a fracture. Therefore, it may not be the fracture event that compromises the disc, but rather the manner in which the disc is loaded.

The novel inflammatory biomarker known as the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has shown great potential in predicting and prognosing many diseases. However, its correlation with postoperative inhospital major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in geriatric patients with hip fractures remains unclear. This study investigated the relationship between NLR and postoperative inhospital MACEs among geriatric patients with hip fractures.
