Hip structural analysis, trabecular bone score, and bone mineral density in post-menopausal women with type-2 diabetes mellitus: a multi-center cross-sectional study in the south of Iran
ConclusionThis study may highlight the utility of the TBS and BMD at the distal radius and total forearm in subjects with type-2 diabetes mellitus, where the BMD at central sites may not adequately predict fracture risk. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Association between traffic-related air pollution and osteoporotic fracture hospitalizations in inland and coastal areas: evidences from the central areas of two cities in Shandong Province, China
ConclusionThis study implied that short-term exposure to TRAPs pollution was associated with an increased risk of hospitalizations for osteoporotic fractures. Female patients and patients aged 65 + years appeared to be more vulnerable to TRAPs, suggesting that poor air quality is a modifiable risk factor for osteoporotic fractures.

The long-term effect of intentional weight loss on changes in bone mineral density in persons with type 2 diabetes: results from the Look AHEAD randomized trial
ConclusionLong term intentional weight loss was associated with greater bone loss at the hip in men. These results taken with the previously published Look AHEAD data from the entire clinical trial showing increased frailty fracture risk with weight loss in the ILI group suggest that when intentional weight loss is planned, consideration of bone density preservation and fracture prevention strategies is warranted.Trial RegistrationClinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00017953.

Occipital bone and tumor-induced osteomalacia: a rare tumor site for an uncommon paraneoplastic syndrome
ConclusionThe occipital region is a difficult area to access so a multidisciplinary approach for their treatment is required. If anatomical differences could be the basis for the predilection of the left side of the occipital bone, it remains to be clarified. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

How the COVID-19 pandemic affected bone health: a retrospective, longitudinal study on denosumab persistence from the epicentre of European spreading
ConclusionThis study provided real-world data about an impaired persistence of Dmab treatment resulting in an increased number of fragility fractures in a geographic area heavily affected by the outbreak of COVID-19. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Current approaches to secondary prevention after hip fracture in England and Wales — an analysis of trends between 2016 and 2020 using the National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD)
ConclusionA recent hip fracture is a strong risk factor for future fractures. The huge variability in approaches, and in particular the use of injectables, in different trauma units across England and Wales requires further investigation. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Risk factors for mortality after hip fracture surgery in Japan using the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Checkups of Japan
ConclusionsSurvival was significantly related to sex, age, fracture type, surgical procedure, delayed operative date, comorbidities, blood transfusions, and pulmonary embolism. As the number of male patients with hip fracture will increase with the aging of society, medical staff must provide sufficient information before surgery to avoid postoperative mortality.

Investigating the impact of a national educational program on patient adherence to osteoporosis medications
ConclusionsThe NPS MedicineWise osteoporosis program significantly increased osteoporosis medicine adherence. The program changed primary care prescriber behavior and improved treatment adherence. However, some patients had a period of treatment discontinuation, placing them at increased risk of fracture. A focused program emphasizing the importance of long-term adherence with denosumab (including switching to bisphosphonates if treatment is discontinued) may be warranted to further improve the quality use of osteoporosis treatment in Australia.

Active identification of vertebral fracture in the FLS model of care
ConclusionsWe present the distribution of VFs by the route of identification in an FLS. Promoting referral by other doctors with a training campaign may help in the quality improvement of the FLS-based model of care. (Source: Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery)

Risk factors predicting the ‘time to first fracture’ and its association with imminent fractures: a substudy of the FRISBEE cohort
ConclusionAmong the risk factors considered, previous glucocorticoid use and RA were predictors for early fracture, consistent with the concept of very high risk. The ‘time to first validated fracture’ was not an independent risk factor for imminent fractures. Patients with a first osteoporotic fracture should thus be considered at very high risk for re-fracture, independent of the 'time to first fracture'.
