Background: ()-mutant non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) have higher frequencies of bone metastases than those of wild type; however, the metastatic pattern and influence on clinical outcome remain unclear.

Objectives: To analyze the association between bone metastatic sites and the clinical efficacy of the first-, second-, and third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), in these patients.

Design: Retrospective multicenter cohort study.

Methods: The clinical data of patients with advanced-NSCLC harboring mutation, who were treated by EGFR-TKIs as first-line treatment at five medical institutions ( = 411), were retrospectively assessed for bone metastatic sites, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS).

Results: Bone metastases were found in 41.1% of the patients at diagnosis, including 13.1%, 8.0%, and 20.0 for single, double, and multiple lesions (⩾3), respectively. The vertebra (76.3%) and pelvis (60.9%) were the most frequent metastatic sites. Femoral-, sternum-, and scapula-metastases were remarkably increased in the patients with multiple-bone metastases. In the -mutant NSCLC patient treated with osimertinib, both the OS and the PFS of the patients with femoral bone metastasis were significantly shorter than those of the patients without femoral bone metastasis (OS: not reached vs 12.1 months,  < 0.0001; and PFS: 17.2 vs 9.3 months,  < 0.0018). Furthermore, a multivariable Cox regression analysis, including several poor prognostic factors, such as mutation and liver metastasis, demonstrated that femoral bone metastasis was a statistically independent predictor of OS.

Conclusion: Femoral bone metastasis is associated with poor survival of -mutant NSCLC patients who were treated with EGFR-TKIs, including osimertinib, and is an independent prognostic factor of OS.

Objectives: Distal femur fractures (DFF) are frequently treated surgically with single traditional constructs (STC), such as with a lateral plate or intramedullary nail, although nail-plate combination constructs (NPCC) are gaining attention. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes between NPCC and STC for surgical fixation of DFF to guide surgeon decision-making.

Methods: Data Sources: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis using PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Science Direct, and SPORTDiscus from database inception until January 10th, 2024.

Bone loading is a crucial factor that constrains locomotor capacities of terrestrial tetrapods. To date, limb bone strains and stresses have been studied across various animals, with a primary emphasis on consistent bone loading in mammals of different sizes and variations in loading regimes across different clades and limb postures. However, the relationships between body size, limb posture and limb bone loading remain unclear in animals with non-parasagittally moving limbs, limiting our understanding of the evolution of limb functions in tetrapods.

An 18F-FDG PET/CT was conducted on a 44-year-old man with a history of dermatomyositis and avascular necrosis of left femoral head, due to a fever of unknown origin. The scan revealed patchy and cloudy high densities within the medullary cavities of bilateral distal femur and proximal tibia, exhibiting peripheral high 18F-FDG avidity. Subsequent MRI confirmed bone infarction.

A 13-year-old boy was referred to orthopedic surgery for chronic intermittent pain and swelling of the left knee. Initial imaging was consistent with osteochondritis dissecans of the femoral condyle. Follow-up imaging demonstrated unexpected progression, with a mass extending into the notch, replacing the anterior cruciate ligament, and eroding the femoral and tibial condyles.

Skeletal disorders pose significant challenges to health and quality of life, underscoring the critical need for innovative bone repair methods. Recent studies have spotlighted the promising role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in conjunction with biomimetic peptide (BP) WKYMVm (WK) for bone repair. This research leveraged a self-healing hydrogel as a carrier, effectively loading EVs and WK to enhance treatment efficacy.
