Unlabelled: In Japan, the publication of the Fracture Liaison Service Clinical Standard (FLS-CS) had no apparent effect on the implementation of secondary fracture prevention, but the introduction of a new management fee for secondary fracture prevention significantly promoted the implementation of secondary fracture prevention for the target disease.
Background: Secondary fracture prevention is important for managing fragility fractures. In Japan, the FLS-CS was published in 2019, alongside the introduction of a new management fee for secondary fracture prevention, launched in 2022 for patients who underwent surgery for hip fracture. FLS programs were hospital-based. This study evaluated the impact of these interventions on the implementation of secondary fracture prevention during hospitalization for fragility fractures.
Methods: Using claims data from the Quality Indicator/Improvement Project database, patients aged 50 years or older with hip fracture who underwent surgery or with vertebral fractures were included. The publication of FLS-CS was the first intervention, followed by the introduction of the management fee as the second intervention. To evaluate the impact of these interventions, we performed an interrupted time series analysis separately for hip and vertebral fractures.
Results: For hip fractures, there was no immediate change after the first intervention, and the monthly rate of change decreased (incidence rate ratio [IRR]: 0.985, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.979-0.991). After the second intervention, there was an immediate increase (IRR: 1.890, 1.761-2.029), and the monthly rate of change also increased (IRR: 1.050, 1.044-1.056). For vertebral fractures, the proportion of change increased only immediately after the second intervention (IRR: 1.148, 1.038-1.270).
Conclusion: The publication of FLS-CS had no apparent effect on the implementation of secondary fracture prevention in patients with either hip or vertebral fractures. Conversely, the introduction of the management fee had the effect of increasing that for the target disease.

Real-time surgical navigation systems (dynamic computer-aided surgery, d-CAIS) and static guided surgery (static computer-aided surgery, s-CAIS) have been shown to enhance the accuracy of zygomatic implant (ZI) placement. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate and compare the accuracy and risk of complications associated with d-CAIS and s-CAIS in ZI placement. A systematic review of published studies involving more than 4 patients was conducted to assess and compare the accuracy of d-CAIS and s-CAIS in zygomatic implant placement.

Article Synopsis
- Fragility and insufficiency fractures of the pelvis and sacrum are on the rise among the elderly due to weakened bones, leading to persistent pain, reduced mobility, and a risk of loss of independence.
- While conservative treatments are an option, surgery is often preferred for unstable fractures, especially since many patients do not receive adequate preventative care for osteoporosis-related fractures.
- Diagnostic imaging is crucial for identifying these fractures, with CT scans being the gold standard, but MRI offers the highest sensitivity for detecting complex fractures, guiding treatment based on fracture type and stability.
Perioperative methadone compared to placebo in elderly hip fracture patients: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (MetaHip trial).

Department of Orthopedics, University Hospital of Southern Denmark, Kresten Philipsensvej 15, Aabenraa, 6200, Denmark.
Background: Hip fractures are a source of severe pain among the elderly population and pose challenges due to limited analgesic tolerance. Perioperative methadone has shown promise in our pilot study suggesting a safe dose of 0.10 mg/kg, prompting further investigation into its benefits for elderly hip fracture patients.

Background Context: The effect of romosozumab administration in patients undergoing corrective spinal fusion surgery has not yet been analyzed.
Purpose: To examine the effect of romosozumab administration on reducing the incidence of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK), particularly PJK due to fractures (PJK-Fx), in patients undergoing spinal corrective fusion surgery.
Design: Retrospective cohort study PATIENT SAMPLE: A total of 111 patients aged >50 years underwent corrective fusion surgery (>2 vertebrae) for adult spinal deformity or vertebral compression fracture between June 2010 and July 2023.
There is increasing awareness of the deleterious effects of ambient pollution. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recently advocated new safe limits of annual exposure for the three pre-dominant pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5), coarse particulate matter (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide; namely 5μg/m3, 15μg/m3 and 10gμ/m3 respectively.
