Article Abstract
Background: Menopause-induced decline in estrogen levels in women is a main factor leading to osteoporosis. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) on bone structural parameters of the femoral neck in ovariectomized rats, in addition to correlations of maximum fracture force.
Methods: Fifteen female Wister rats were divided into three groups: (1) control group; (2) ovariectomized (OVX) group; and (3) OVX + PTH group. All rats were then killed and the femurs extracted for microcomputed tomography scanning to measure volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and bone structural parameters of the femoral neck. Furthermore, the fracture forces of femoral neck were measured using a material testing system.
Results: Compared with the control and OVX + PTH groups, the OVX group had significantly lower aBMD, bone parameter, and mechanical strength values. A comparison between OVX and OVX + PTH groups indicated that PTH treatment increased several bone parameters. However, the OVX + PTH groups did not significantly differ with the control group with respect to the bone structural parameters, except for trabecular bone thickness of cancellous bone, which was greater. In addition, among the bone structural parameters, the CSA and BSI of cortical bone were significantly correlated with the maximum fracture force of the femoral neck, with correlations of, respectively, 0.682 (p = 0.005) and 0.700 (p = 0.004).
Conclusion: Intermittent PTH helped treat ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis of cancellous bone and cortical bone in the femoral necks of rats. The ability of the femoral neck to resist fracture was highly correlated with the two parameters, namely cross-sectional area (CSA) and bone strength index (= vBMD × CSA), of cortical bone in the femoral neck and was less correlated with aBMD or other bone structural parameters.

Introduction: anatomical deformities such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and Perthes disease represent a challenge for reconstruction. The use of 3D-printed models can be helpful for assessing the deformity, bone mass, implant size, and orientation.
Objectives: to prospectively evaluate the outcomes of 3D simulation in primary total hip arthroplasty.

Unlabelled: This retrospective cohort study analysed a total of 344 patients from the OSTEOMED registry with matched baseline and follow-up DXA data, finding that comorbidities such as nephrolithiasis, hypertension or coronary heart disease may influence the response to prescribed anti-osteoporotic treatment.
Purpose: To determine: 1) comorbidities associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD), T-score and Z-score at the lumbar spine (L1 to L4 vertebrae), femoral neck and total hip; and 2) the role of multimorbidity (≥ 2 comorbidities) in reduced BMD, T-score and Z-score at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study analyzing patients [319 females (92.

Background: The impact of the surgical approach on the risk of dislocation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains controversial, particularly when monobloc dual mobility cups (DMCs) are used. This study aimed to compare dislocation and complication rates between the postero-lateral and direct anterior approaches with a DMC in primary elective THA, based on data collected from a single center.
Methods: Between 2010 and 2022, 1,378 consecutive primary THAs were performed using a monobloc DMC.
Hip Hemiarthroplasty vs Total Hip Arthroplasty for Femoral Neck Fractures: Reverse Fragility of Reoperation Rates in Randomized Controlled Trials.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has theoretical advantages and disadvantages over hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures. Numerous studies have suggested equivalent reoperation rates between the procedures. The purpose of this study was to use the reverse fragility index (RFI) to evaluate the statistical robustness of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting nonsignificant differences in reoperation rates between hip hemiarthroplasty and THA for femoral neck fractures.

Purpose: Femoral neck fractures are clinically rare and are associated with a high risk of complications in children. Traditional internal fixation implants such as Kirschner wires and partial-thread cannulated screws (PTCS) have complications such as screw withdrawal and internal fixation failure. To address this problem, in this study we investigated the effectiveness of headless cannulated compression screws (HCCS) in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in children patients.
