We investigated racial variation in glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]) with fracture risk in geriatric patients with diabetes. Compared to an HbA1c of 7.0-7.9% [53-63 mmol/mol], HbA1c ≥9.0% [≥75 mmol/mol] was associated with increased fracture risk among Blacks and those of Unknown race only. This increase was attenuated in Blacks after accounting for the relative frequency of patient-provider interaction.

Comparative finite element analysis: internal fixation plate versus intramedullary nail for neer type III-VI proximal humeral fractur.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University, 8 Gongren Tiyuchang Nanlu, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100020, China.
Background: Finite element analysis (FEA) could advance the understanding of fracture fixation and guide the choice of surgical treatment. This study aimed to compare two internal fixation methods in the treatment of displaced proximal humeral fracture (PHF) through FEA.
Methods: Three-dimensional FEA model based on the left shoulder joint of a 67-year-old female patient with PHFs and osteoporosis was adopted, in order to analyze the fixation effect and load stress distribution of internal fixation plates with open reduction and intramedullary nails without opening the fracture in the treatment of Neer III-VI PHF.
Predictors and prognosis of elderly hip fracture patients with perioperative atrial fibrillation: a nested case-control study.
BMC Geriatr
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, No.139, ZiQiang Lu, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, 050051, PR China.
Background: A scarcity of data exists concerning atrial fibrillation (AF) during the perioperative stage of non-cardiothoracic surgery, particularly orthopedic surgery. In addition, given the frequency and significant impact of AF in the perioperative period, therefore our aim was to identify prognosis and predictors of elderly hip fracture patients with perioperative AF.
Methods: An examination of hip fracture patients at the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University, who had been hospitalized from January 2018 to October 2020 in succession, was conducted retrospectively.
Systematic review and meta-analysis comparative analysis of the safety and efficacy of fenestrated pedicle screw with cement and conventional pedicle screw with cement in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures: A meta-analysis.

Department of Orthopaedics, Xinhua Hospital of Zhejiang Province, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, 310003, China.
Purpose: Bone cement-reinforced fenestrated pedicle screws (FPSs) have been widely used in the internal fixation and repair of the spine with osteoporosis in recent years and show significant improvement in fixation strength and stability. However, compared with conventional reinforcement methods, the advantages of bone cement-reinforced FPSs remain undetermined. This article compares the effects of fenestrated and conventional pedicle screws (CPSs) combined with bone cement in the treatment of osteoporosis.

In developing nations, patients often rely on traditional bone setters, leading to delayed diagnosis and increased complications. Adult hip dislocations carry a higher risk of avascular necrosis and require complex treatments.

Division of Periodontics, Department of Diagnosis and Surgery, UNESP, São Paulo State University "Júlio de Mesquita Filho", Araçatuba, Brazil.
The study aimed to evaluate the potential protection against fractures of oral Q10 supplementation in the tibias of rats exposed to nicotine. Nicotine is known to negatively impact bone density and increase the risk of fractures, in addition to affecting other systems such as the gastrointestinal system, impairing its absorption capacity, negatively affecting bone health. To investigate this, eighty male rats were divided into four groups (n = 20) receiving either nicotine hemisulfate or saline solution (SS) for 28 days.
