Article Abstract
The aim was to assess prognostic value of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH] D) levels in older Chinese patients with hip fracture. From June, 2012 to February, 2014, older patients with hip fracture were included. Serum 25(OH) D levels were measured at admission. The functional evaluation at the time of discharge was performed by the Barthel Index. In the 66 patients with an unfavorable outcome, serum 25(OH) D levels were lower compared with those with a favorable outcome. In multivariate analyses, there was an increased risk of unfavorable outcome associated with serum 25(OH) D levels ≤ 20 ng/ml (OR 5.25, 95% CI: 3.12-8.16). Our data supported an association between serum 25[OH] D levels at admission and short-term prognosis in Chinese older patients with hip fracture.

Background: We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of using additional obesity management medications (OMMs) within the first year after undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 246 patients who underwent primary LSG in our institution and were followed up for at least 12 months. We collected body weights preoperatively and at three, six, 12, and 24 months postoperatively, along with body composition and laboratory results preoperatively and at 12 months.

Background And Objective: With obese individuals experiencing osteoarthritis (OA) at early stages of life, hip resurfacing (HR) has emerged as an alternative to arthroplasty. The purpose is to conduct a short-term analysis on patients with obesity who underwent primary HR for OA compared to a benchmark control group of non-obese patients.
Materials And Methods: Patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2 who underwent HR from 2010 to 2021 were eligible for inclusion.
Minimum Ten-Year Follow-Up of Patients 50 Years or Less Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty with Fourth-Generation Ceramic 32-mm Femoral Heads on Highly Cross-Linked Polyethylene.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) with third-generation alumina ceramic heads on highly cross-linked polyethylene liners (HXLPE) has demonstrated excellent outcomes in young patients. However, concerns of ceramic head fracture, squeaking, stripe wear, and limited sizing led to the development of a fourth-generation ceramic head. The purpose of our study was to report on survivorship, wear characteristics, and patient-reported outcomes of THA with a fourth-generation 32-mm ceramic femoral head and HXLPE liner in patients 50 years or younger at 10-year minimum follow-up.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA 2-year minimum follow-up period has generally been preferred in orthopaedic studies. This minimum standard aids comparisons across the literature and helps to ensure methodological rigor. However, in some situations these minimum durations are not required to answer specific research questions and strictly enforcing these requirements poses unnecessary barriers to research by adding cost and complexity, increasing the risk of loss to follow-up, and potentially restricting early dissemination of clinically important findings.
