The association between cervical artery dissection and spinal manipulation among US adults
ConclusionAmong privately insured US adults, the overall risk of CeAD is very low. Prior receipt of CSM was more likely than E&M among VAD patients as compared to stroke patients. However, for CAD patients as compared to stroke patients, as well as for both VAD and CAD patients in comparison with population controls and in case-crossover analysis, prior receipt of E&M was more likely than CSM.

Increased Complications in Octogenarians Undergoing Same-Day Discharge following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Matched Cohort Analysis
J Knee Surg DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1743227Same-day discharge pathways in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are gaining popularity as a means to increase patient satisfaction and reduce overall costs, but these pathways have not been thoroughly evaluated in potentially at-risk populations, such as in patients ≥80 years old. The purpose of this study was to compare 90-day complications and mortality following same-day discharge after primary TKA in patients ≥80 years old and those <80 years old. Patients who underwent unilateral primary TKA, were discharged on postoperative day 0, and had a minimum 90-day follow-up were iden...

Osteoporosis and the long-term risk of peripheral artery disease: a population-based longitudinal follow-up study in Taiwan
ConclusionThis study found an increased long-term risk of PAD in both men and women with osteoporosis.Mini abstractOsteoporosis has been associated with increased risks of atherosclerotic diseases. However, the relationship between osteoporosis and peripheral artery disease remains uncertain. The present population-based longitudinal follow-up study showed that patients with osteoporosis are at an increased risk of developing peripheral artery disease.

In-hospital Complications Are More Likely to Occur After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty Than After Locked Plating for Proximal Humeral Fractures
CONCLUSION: The increased in-hospital risk for major adverse events and surgical complications may moderate the enthusiasm associated with RTSA for proximal humeral fractures in patients 65 years and older. Treatment decisions should be based on individual risk estimation to avoid potential harmful events. Future studies must include long-term outcomes and quality of life to enlighten these findings in a broader context.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study.PMID:33938479 | DOI:10.1097/CORR.0000000000001776

Risk of Incident Atrial Fibrillation With Zoledronic Acid Versus Denosumab: A Propensity Score –Matched Cohort Study
ABSTRACTZoledronic acid (ZA) is an effective agent in osteoporosis and malignancy ‐related bone disease but may be associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), although current studies disagree on this risk. To examine the risk of incident AF among patients receiving ZA compared with denosumab in the first year of treatment, we performed a new‐user, active comp arator cohort study including privately insured Americans between January 1, 2010, and June 30, 2019. Individuals aged ≥50 years without known arrhythmia or advanced kidney disease who initiated ZA were 1:1 propensity score (PS)‐matched to i...

Blindness increases the risk for hip fracture and vertebral fracture but not the risk for distal radius fracture: a longitudinal follow-up study using a national sample cohort
ConclusionThe risks for hip fracture and vertebral fracture were significantly higher in the blindness group. However, the risk for distal radius fracture was not related to visual impairment including blindness.

Impact of Patent Foramen Ovale on Total Knee Arthroplasty Cerebrovascular Accident Perioperative Management.
This study was undertaken to determine whether patients with a PFO would have a significantly increased risk of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) following TKA. The Humana national database was used to identify TKA patients who were stratified by the presence of a PFO from 2007 to 2016. Ninety-day follow-up was used for the primary outcome of CVA. Potential confounding comorbidities also were investigated, including age, sex, anticoagulation, insurance type, arrhythmia, valvular disease, peripheral vascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes mellitus. Of 153,245 TKAs, a total of 2272 patients had strokes; 479 of th...

Association of stroke subtypes with risk of hip fracture: a population-based study in Taiwan
ConclusionOverall, stroke significantly increases the incidence of HF, and the risk of HF is significantly higher in ICH patients and female gender. We should identify stroke patients at risk of HF and pay more attention to prevent them from fall in poststroke long-term care.

Functional Electrical Stimulation in a Case of Drop Foot and Atactic Gait: Expert Assessment of Contested Medical Aids.
We report on a social court case, which needed to answer the question of the medical necessity of a functional electrical stimulation orthosis prescribed to improve the function of a drop foot accompanied by an atactic gait disorder. The claimant suffered from a stroke, which had occurred several years before. Her aids were an ankle-foot-orthosis for foot lift and a wheeled walker. The current treatment was to be augmented by the disputed device. The statutory health insurance declined to meet the costs. They failed to find relevant benefits after analysis of video tapes of the patient's gait while using an electrical stim...

Risk and adverse outcomes of fractures in patients with Parkinson’s disease: two nationwide studies
Conclusions PD was associated with higher risk of fracture. Patients with PD had more complications and mortality after fracture. Fracture prevention and attention to post-fracture adverse events are needed for this susceptible population.
