Quantification of Risk Factors for Cervical Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament in Korean Populations: A Nationwide Population-based Case-control Study
Conclusion. OPLL was significantly associated with comorbidities such as hypertension, ischemic stroke diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and osteoporosis. Our findings can provide helpful information for OPLL prediction and offer important health benefits. Level of Evidence: 3

Factors associated with hospital stay length, discharge destination, and 30-day readmission rate after primary hip or knee arthroplasty: Retrospective Cohort Study
In this study, predictors of LOS were identified using a survival model that considered age as a continuous variable, separate comorbidities, and the discharge destination. Our findings are consistent with earlier reports and confirm the strong associations linking LOS to diabetes, day of surgery, and discharge destination in France. We also identified predictors of discharge to rehabilitation and of readmission within 30 days.Level of evidenceIV, retrospective observational cohort study.

Obesity may be a risk factor for recurrent heterotopic ossification in post-traumatic stiff elbow among children and teenagers
ConclusionsThe HO recurrence difference between two groups confirmed the hypothesis. Although underlying mechanisms are unclear, weight control might promote postoperative and long-term rehabilitation of the elbow joint for children and teenagers.Level of evidenceIII, retrospective cohort study, treatment study.

Neurologic Comorbidities Predict Proximal Junctional Failure in Adult Spinal Deformity
ConclusionsIn this study, risk factors identified for the development of PJF included nonmechanical neurologic comorbidities, emphasizing the need to look beyond radiographic alignment in order to reduce the incidence of PJF.Level of EvidenceLevel 3.

Short-term Medical Complications Following Short Versus Long Cephalomedullary Nails.
Abstract The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate whether there is an increased rate of short-term medical complications following short vs long cephalomedullary nails for the treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures. A total of 899 patients treated surgically with cephalomedullary nails from January 1, 2005, to September 1, 2014, were included. Patients who received short nails (n=334) were older and had a higher incidence of coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus compared with patients who received long nails (n=565). The incidences of 30-day medical complications, including myoc...

Upright activity and higher motor function may preserve bone mineral density within 6  months of stroke: a longitudinal study
ConclusionBetter motor control and walking recovery were associated with reduced bone loss. Interventions targeting these impairments from early post-stroke are warranted.Clinical trial registrationURL:http://www.anzctr.org.au. Unique identifier: ACTRN12612000123842.

Co ‐morbidities only account for a small proportion of excess mortality after fracture: a record linkage study of individual fracture types
Conclusion: All proximal non‐hip, non‐vertebral fractures in women and men were associated with increased mortality risk. Co‐existent co‐morbidities independently further increased mortality. Population attributable risk for mortality for fracture was similar to cardiovascular disease and diabetes, highlighting their importance and potential benefit for early intervention and treatment.

Predictors of Acute Ischemic Stroke After Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Authors: Menendez ME, Greber EM, Schumacher CS, Lowry Barnes C Abstract Although acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a feared medical complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), little is known about its incidence and risk factors. The purpose of this retrospective populationbased study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2008-2011) was to determine the incidence and predictors of AIS following TKA. The rate of perioperative AIS was 0.08%. Patients undergoing bilateral TKA were almost three times more likely to develop AIS compared with unilateral TKA patients. The age group with the highest odds of AIS was ≥...

Does the degree of beach chair position during shoulder arthroscopy affect cerebral oxygenation? A prospective comparative study
Conclusions: No significant difference was noted in regional cerebral oxygen saturation between patients operated on in the beach chair position and those operated on in the semi-upright sitting position. A direct relation was noted between the decrease in mean arterial pressure and decrease in cerebral oxygen saturation.

Osteoporosis and ischemic cardiovascular disease
Publication date: Available online 9 November 2016 Source:Joint Bone Spine Author(s): Michel Laroche, Virginie Pécourneau, Hubert Blain, Véronique Breuil, Roland Chapurlat, Bernard Cortet, Bruno Sutter, Yannick Degboe Osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease were long viewed as independent of each other. However, numerous epidemiological studies, which are discussed in the first part of this review, have provided incontrovertible evidence of a link. Thus, the risk of coronary artery disease and stroke is higher in patients with a history of osteoporotic fracture or low bone mineral density than in non-osteoporotic patien...

Clinical characteristics and risk factors of postoperative pneumonia after hip fracture surgery: a prospective cohort study
ConclusionIntrinsic factors and major clinical interventions were all important risk factors of POP in patients after hip fracture surgery. Targeted preventive measures to mitigate the above risk factors may help in reducing the incidence of POP.

Modifying Risk Factors: Strategies that Work Diabetes Mellitus
An estimated 29.1 million Americans, representing 9.3% of the population, have diabetes with a projected increase to 48.3 million Americans by 2050. [1,2] Chronic hyperglycemia associated with diabetes is an established cause of retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and vascular disease. [3] These chronic disease states lead in turn to significant sequelae, such as stroke, cardiovascular disease, renal failure and chronic wounds.

Outcomes of Chopart Amputation in a Tertiary Referral Diabetic Foot Clinic: Data From a Consecutive Series of 83 Hospitalized Patients
Publication date: Available online 24 November 2015 Source:The Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery Author(s): Ezio Faglia, Giacomo Clerici, Robert Frykberg, Maurizio Caminiti, Vincenzo Curci, Francesco Cetta, Vincenzo Prisco, Rosaria Greco, Marco Prisco, Alberto Morabito The purpose of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the outcomes (ie, ulcer recurrence, major amputation, death) in diabetic patients undergoing Chopart amputation because of deep infection or gangrene extending to the midfoot. From 2009 to 2011, 83 patients, aged 71.4 ± 9.3 years, underwent a midtarsal amputation and were followed...
