Unlabelled: The current study investigated subsequent fracture risk following a forearm fracture in three country of birth categories: Norway, Europe and North America, and other countries. Subsequent fracture risk was modestly higher in Norwegian-born individuals compared to the two other groups. Secondary fracture prevention should be recommended regardless of country background.
Background: Fracture risk is higher in patients with a previous fracture, but whether subsequent fracture risk differs by origin of birth is unknown. This study explores subsequent fracture risk in patients with an index forearm fracture according to region of birth.
Methods: Nationwide data on forearm fractures in patients ≥ 18 years in 2008-2019 were obtained from the Norwegian Patient Registry and Statistics Norway. Index fractures were identified by ICD-10 code S52, whereas subsequent fractures included any ICD-10 fracture code. Data on country of birth were from Statistics Norway and included three regional categories: (1) Norway, (2) other Europe and North America and (3) other countries. Direct age standardization and Cox proportional hazard regression were used to analyse the data.
Results: Among 143,476 individuals with an index forearm fracture, 35,361 sustained a subsequent fracture. Norwegian-born forearm fracture patients had the highest subsequent fracture rates (516/10,000 person-years in women and 380 in men). People born outside Europe and North America had the lowest rates (278/10,000 person-years in women and 286 in men). Compared to Norwegian-born individuals, the hazard ratios (HRs) of subsequent fracture in individuals from Europe and North American were 0.93 (95% CI 0.88-0.98) in women and 0.85 (95% CI 0.79-0.92) in men. The corresponding HRs in individuals from other countries were 0.76 (95% CI 0.70-0.84) in women and 0.82 (95% CI 0.74-0.92) in men.
Conclusion: Individuals born outside Norway had a lower subsequent fracture risk than Norwegian-born individuals; however, subsequent fracture risk increased with age in all groups. Our results indicate that secondary fracture prevention should be recommended regardless of region of origin.

Fatigue cracking of rib-to-deck conventional single-sided welded joints is a prevalent issue in orthotropic steel decks (OSDs), significantly impacting their structural integrity and durability. Rib-to-deck innovative double-sided welded joints have the potential to enhance the fatigue resistance of OSD. However, Welding Residual Stresses (WRS) significantly influence the fatigue life of these joints, mandating its consideration in fatigue assessments.

Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining bone health and development, and bone mineral accumulation during childhood and adolescence affects long-term bone health. Vitamin D deficiency has been widely recognized as one of the main causes of osteoporosis and fractures, especially during the growth and development stage of children. Recent studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency may affect the deviation of bone development in children by mediating lipid metabolism disorders, but its specific mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated.

Objectives: To identify independent risk factors for perioperative hidden blood loss (HBL) in intertrochanteric femoral fractures (ITFs) and to develop a predictive model.
Methods: We enrolled 231 patients with ITFs who underwent proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) surgery at the Orthopedics Department of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital, Jiangsu Province, China, from January 2021 to December 2023. Hidden blood loss was calculated using the OSTEO formula, and independent risk factors were screened using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) logistic regression.

Background: Vertebral fractures in young populations are associated with intervertebral disc disorders later in life. However, damage to the annulus fibrosus has been observed in rapidly loaded spines even without the subsequent occurrence of a fracture. Therefore, it may not be the fracture event that compromises the disc, but rather the manner in which the disc is loaded.
