Case: A 73-year-old woman with advanced ankylosing spondylitis (AS) underwent closed reduction and internal fixation using antegrade intramedullary nailing because of midshaft fracture of her right femur. After the surgery had been performed, a fracture and dislocation at T12-L1 was detected. Therefore, emergency spinal decompression and posterior instrumentation placement from T11 to L5 were then performed.
Conclusion: Patients with advanced AS have a high risk of vertebral fracture, so special care must be taken not to transmit excessive stress on the spine for surgical reduction and manipulation of the lower extremity.

Objectives: Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) provides incomplete information about bone strength. There are few data on the relationship between osteoporosis-related examinations and bone strength. The objective of the present study was to determine which osteoporosis-related examinations best predicted trabecular bone strength, and to enhance a formula for predicting bone strength on the basis of bone density examination.

Pediatric patients of autosomal dominant early onset osteoporosis conferred by heterozygous mutation in the WNT1 (OMIM: 615221) were rarely reported, and therapy in pediatrics is relatively inexperienced. The clinical and genotypic characteristics and treatment process of four children with osteoporosis caused by WNT1 monoallelic variation were analyzed. The patients admitted from June 2023 to January 2024.

Background: Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder affecting nearly 20% of the global population, poses a significant health concern, with osteoporotic vertebral body fractures (VBF) representing a common clinical manifestation. The impact of osteoporotic sintering fractures in the thoracolumbar spine on the sagittal lumbar profile is incompletely understood and may lead to the onset of clinical symptoms in previously asymptomatic patients.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study analyzed data from patients presenting with osteoporotic spine fractures between 2017 and 2022.

From the Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Providence, RI (Singh and Daher), and the Department of Orthopedics, Brown University, Providence, RI (Dr. Diebo, Dr. Daniels, and Dr. Arcand).
Background: Whether testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can mitigate the risk of vertebral fractures has not been well-studied.
Methods: PearlDiver was queried to identify patients with and without the history of TRT. Groups were matched 1:1 by demographic variables and 2-year vertebral fracture incidence rate was compared.
