Background: Femoral neck fractures are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality for older adults. Multi-system medical diseases and complications can lead to long-term care needs, functional decline and death, so patients sustaining hip fractures usually have comorbid conditions that may benefit from application of multidisciplinary team(MDT).
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study that incorporates medical record review with an outcomes management database. 199 patients were included who had surgery for a new unilateral femoral neck fracture from January 2018 to December 2021 (96 patients in usual care (UC) model and 103 patients in MDT model. High-energy, pathological, old and periprosthetic femoral neck fracture were excluded. Age, gender, comorbidity status, time to surgery, and postoperative complication, length of stay, in-hospital mortality, 30-day readmission rate, 90-day mortality data were collected and analyzed.
Results: Preoperative general data of sex, age, community dwelling and charlson comorbidity score of MDT group (n = 103) have no statistically significant difference with that of usual care (UC) group. Patients treated in the MDT model had significantly shorter times to surgery (38.5 vs. 73.4 h;P = 0.028) and lower lengths of stay (11.5 vs. 15.2 days;P = 0.031). There were no significant differences between two models in In-hospital mortality (1.0% vs. 2.1%; P = 0.273), 30-day readmission rate (7.8% vs. 11.5%; P = 0.352) and 90-day mortality (2.9% vs. 3.1%; P = 0.782). The MDT model had fewer complications overall (16.5% vs. 31.3%; P = 0.039), with significantly lower risks of delirium, postoperative infection, bleeding, cardiac complication, hypoxia, and thromboembolism.
Conclusion: Application of MDT can provide standardized protocols and a total quality management approach, leading to fewer complications for elderly patients with femoral neck fracture.

Radiology resident competency in orthopedic trauma detection in simulated on-call scenarios.

University of Florida, Gainesville, USA.
Purpose: To evaluate radiology residents' ability to accurately identify three specific types of orthopedic trauma using radiographic imaging within a simulated on-call environment.
Methods: We utilized the Wisdom in Diagnostic Imaging Emergent/Critical Care Radiology Simulation (WIDI SIM) to assess residents' preparedness for independent radiology call. The simulation included 65 cases, with three focusing on orthopedic trauma: sacral ala, femoral neck, and pediatric tibial/Toddler's fractures.
Effects of exercise on bone mass and bone metabolism in adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

School of Sport and Health, Shandong Sport University, Jinan, Shandong, China.
Objective: Meta-analysis was used to evaluate the effects of an exercise intervention on bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), and bone metabolism in adolescents.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science for RCTs on "exercise, adolescents, BMD, bone metabolism" up to 10 September 2024. Included RCTs focused on effects of exercise on BMC, BMD, and bone metabolism in 10-19 years old, with physical activity as exercise group and daily living/primal exercise as control group.
The prevalence and outcomes of pre-admission vitamin D levels in the management of proximal femur fractures.
Aging Med (Milton)

Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics Gateshead Health Foundation NHS Trust Gateshead UK.
Objectives: The prevalence of low Vitamin D levels (<30 nmol/L) is about 15.7% globally. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in elderly patients with fragility fractures of the hip by estimating 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and to assess whether low vitamin D levels at the time of admission affect functional outcomes at 3 months and mortality at 28 days and 1 year.

Background: Osteoporosis is characteristically defined as a decrease in bone density and mass, accompanied by the deterioration of bone structure, which increases bone fragility and the risk of fractures. Osteoporosis frequently develops with age. In high-risk populations, oxidative damage is a common pathological condition.
