Hip fractures are one of the major disability causes associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Early surgery and stable fixation could be associated with better pain control, possibly lower mortality rates, and early recovery of autonomy.

Surgical options for Evans-Jensen type IV intertrochanteric femur fractures in the elderly over 65: a comparison between total hip arthroplasty and proximal femoral nail antirotation.
Front Surg
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics Surgery, Central Hospital Affiliated to Shenyang Medical College, Shenyang, Liaoning, China.
Background: Currently, there is no clear standard for the surgical options for Evans-Jensen Type IV intertrochanteric femur fractures in elderly patients over 65 years old. This study aims to retrospectively analyze and compare the early postoperative limb function and quality of life of patients treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) for this type of fracture. We hypothesize that there is no significant difference in complications and postoperative recovery between the two surgical methods.

Front Pharmacol
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: The debate continues on whether combining core decompression (CD) with regenerative therapy provides a more effective treatment for early femoral head necrosis than CD alone. This systematic review and meta-analysis endeavored to assess its efficacy.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library through July 2024 for RCTs and cohort studies evaluating the impact of core decompression (CD) with regenerative therapy versus CD alone in early-stage osteonecrosis (ARCO I, II or IIIa or Ficat I or II) of the femoral head (ONFH).
The relationship between anthropometric indices and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in adults: a cross-sectional study.
Front Nutr
January 2025
Department of Community Nutrition, School of Nutritional Sciences and Dietetics, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a widespread liver condition associated with diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases, yet public awareness remains low. Early detection of risk factors is crucial, but liver biopsy, the diagnostic gold standard, is invasive and costly. Non-invasive anthropometric indices provide a safer alternative.

Age Ageing
January 2025
Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark.
Background: Mobilisation within the first day following hip fracture surgery is recommended. However, an in-depth analysis of the association between early mobilisation and the risk of infection is lacking.
Objective: To examine the association between early mobilisation and the subsequent risk of hospital-treated infections following hip fracture surgery.
Effect of nationwide postoperative rehabilitation at home program after lower extremity surgeries in older and younger people.
Ann Geriatr Med Res
January 2025
Department and Research Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background: A nationwide Rehabilitation at Home Care Pilot Program for patients undergoing lower extremity orthopedic surgeries has been ongoing since 2020. The program was designed to improve clinical outcomes through early mobilization and rehabilitation after discharge. This study aimed to analyze the interim data to assess its effectiveness and suggest improvements, particularly for older patients who are more vulnerable compared to younger patients.
