Introduction: This study aimed to examine the bone-forming ability of medium-cross-linked recombinant collagen peptide (mRCP) particles developedbased on human collagen type I, contains an arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid-rich motif, fabricated as bone filling material, compared to that of the autologous bone graft.
Methods: Calvarial bone defects were created in immunodeficient rats though a surgical procedure. The rats were divided into 2 groups: mRCP graft and tibia bone graft (bone graft). The bone formation potential of mRCP was evaluated by micro-computed tomography and hematoxylin-eosin staining at 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks after surgery, and the data were analyzed and compared to those of the bone graft.
Results: The axial volume-rendered images demonstrated considerable bony bridging with the mRCP graft, but there was no significant difference in the bone volume and bone mineral density between the mRCP graft and bone graft at 4 weeks. The peripheral new bone density was significantly higher than the central new bone density and the bottom side score was significantly higher than the top side score at early stage in the regenerated bone within the bone defects.
Conclusion: These results indicate that mRCP has a high potential of recruiting osteogenic cells, comparable to that of autologous bone chips.

Osteoporosis, a condition marked by the loss of bone density and mass, affects individuals of all ages. However, it becomes more prevalent and severe with aging, increasing the risk of fractures and other health complications. Recent research has highlighted a link between osteoporosis and periodontitis, a chronic gum disease, as both conditions involve excessive bone loss that can lead to significant oral health problems if untreated.

Purpose: The primary objective of this prospective, longitudinal, observational, single-centre study was to evaluate the association between ultrasound-assessed lesions of dactylitis and the diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis (PsO) and hand arthralgia.
Methods: We included adult patients diagnosed with PsO with hand arthralgia, with or without other musculoskeletal complaints. They were clinically assessed at baseline, 6 and 12 months by a rheumatologist blinded to the ultrasound findings.
Focal Fibrocartilaginous Dysplasia and Growth Arrest: Case Report.

Department of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York.
Case: A pediatric patient with focal fibrocartilaginous dysplasia (FFCD) developed angular deformity and growth arrest despite standard guided growth management. The patient underwent implant-mediated guided growth for proximal tibia varus deformity which recurred; subsequently, a physeal bar of the medial proximal tibia was diagnosed, which progressed to physeal arrest.
Conclusion: Treatment options for FFCD-associated angular deformity include observation and guided growth.
Odds of Metastatic Disease at Diagnosis of Primary Bone and Soft-Tissue Sarcomas of the Extremity and Pelvis Based on Preferred Language and Socioeconomic Factors.

Introduction: The odds of metastatic disease at diagnosis of bone (BS) and soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) of the extremities and pelvis may vary among patients due to several factors. There is limited research comparing the rates of metastatic disease at diagnosis in patients from different demographic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Methods: Patients with a primary BS or STS of the extremity or pelvis were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes.
Can Trabecular Bone Score Enhance Fracture Risk Assessment in Long-Distance Runners With Bone Stress Injuries?

Objective: To evaluate the trabecular bone score (TBS) Z scores in long-distance runners with bone stress injuries (BSIs) in whom the bone mineral density (BMD) Z score is more than -1.0 (Aim 1) and whether the number of runners with abnormal TBS Z scores would be higher in those with BSI in trabecular-rich sites as compared with cortical-rich sites (Aim 2).
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
