Hip fracture incidence and post-fracture mortality in Victoria, Australia: a state-wide cohort study
ConclusionThe absolute increase in hip fractures highlights the need for interventions to reduce fracture risk, especially for those at higher risk of post-fracture mortality, including men and those who are frail, living in a non-metropolitan region, or residing in a RACF.

Not only muscle mass but also muscle quality is associated with knee extension muscle strength in patients with hip fractures
ConclusionsOur results revealed that the decrease in isometric knee extension muscle strength on the operated and nonoperated sides in patients with hip fractures at approximately 6  months postoperatively was associated with not only a decrease in skeletal muscle mass but also a decrease in muscle quality, characterized by a decreased PhA.

Hip fracture registries in low- and middle-income countries: a scoping review
ConclusionThe adoption of HF registries in LMICs is scarce. The few experiences show promising results but higher support is required to develop more registries. Long-term sustainability remains a challenge. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Addressing gaps in osteoporosis screening in kuwait using opportunistic quantitative computer tomography (QCT): a retrospective study
ConclusionvBMD measurements obtained by opportunistic QCT had comparable rates of osteopenia and osteoporosis detection to those previously reported using DXA in a similar population in Kuwait. These findings suggest that opportunistic QCT on preexisting CT scans can be effectively utilized to narrow gaps in osteoporosis screening. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Prevalence and risk factors of osteoporosis and osteopenia among residents in Hubei province, China
ConclusionsThe prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia is high in Hubei, China. The risk of prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia was higher in females and people with higher age and low BMI. While high BMI, high education, the absence of chronic disease, and intaking dairy moderately were negatively correlated with the prevalence of osteopenia or osteoporosis. The government should support the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Effect of different antiretroviral therapy on muscle mass, bone mineral density, and trabecular bone score in Chinese HIV-infected males
ConclusionsThis is the first study to report not only greater BMD loss but also muscle loss in Chinese MWH with 3TC-TDF-EFV regimen. Our work highlights the importance of closely monitoring muscle mass and BMD in patients treated with 3TC-TDF-EFV regimen and provides a foundation for the clinical intervention of sarcopenia and osteoporosis in them.

“A natural consequence of aging in women?”: a mixed-method exploration on osteoporosis self-efficacy in Turkey
ConclusionThe osteoporosis-related self-efficacy levels of the participants of this study were low. The results suggest that a strategy to organize routine health education programs should be established in order to create a higher perception of osteoporosis self-efficacy in women with osteoporosis and to reduce knowledge gaps and barriers.

Effects of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery on osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of retrospective study
ConclusionR-MIS can significantly reduce the patients ’ ODI, Cobb’s angles, X-ray fluoroscopy frequency, and Cement leakage ratio, and shorten the Length of hospital stay. Therefore, R-MIS may be an effective method to promote the patients’ functional recovery, correct spinal deformity, reduce the X-ray fluoroscopy frequency, shorten the Length o f hospital stay, and reduce the complications of OVCFs bone Cement leakage.

Spinal pseudoarthrosis following osteoporotic vertebral fracture: prevalence, risk factors, and influence on patients ’ activities of daily living 1 year after injury
ConclusionsThe prevalence of pseudoarthrosis following OVF was 9.8%, and its risk factor was posterior wall injury. The BKP group was not included in the pseudoarthrosis group, which may have led to an underestimation of the prevalence of pseudoarthrosis.SummaryThe prevalence, risk factors, and influence of spinal pseudoarthrosis on patients ’ ADL following osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) were investigated. Pseudoarthrosis occurs in 9.8% 1 year after the injury in patients with OVF. Posterior wall injury was the risk factor of pseudoarthrosis. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)
