The differential diagnosis of unexplained hip pain after trauma in patients with normal radiographs includes both soft tissue and bony abnormalities. We have presented a case of an isolated fracture of the greater trochanter in an adult with normal radiographs where the diagnosis was made by MRI.

The Treatment and Monitoring of Osteoporosis using Bone Turnover Markers.
Orthop Rev (Pavia)
January 2025
Osteoporosis is a degenerative bone disease that causes the weakening of bone structure. Since bone structure is dynamic throughout a person's lifespan, bones are under constant growth and destruction in a process known as bone turnover or bone remodeling. Osteoporosis involves the disruption of this growth/destruction equilibrium towards the destructive side.

Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) has been implicated as a potential risk factor for adverse outcomes and readmissions in various surgical procedures. Patients admitted with an open fracture of the lower extremity often have multifarious pain needs, require surgical procedures, and have prolonged rehabilitation; previous OUD complicates this process. Our goal was to describe at a national level how OUD is associated with readmission, complications, and healthcare expenditure for patients admitted with open lower extremity fractures.

Background: Sarcopenia is a prevalent condition defined by a loss of muscle mass associated with reduction in muscle power and physical performance. It is associated with several adverse outcomes such as risk of falls and fractures, hospitalization and higher mortality. It can be triggered by several clinical conditions and dementia is one of them.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD), body mass index (BMI), and trabecular bone score (TBS) among middle-aged and older men with or without benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using health examination data from male participants aged 50-98 years collected at a regional hospital in southern Taiwan.
