Article Abstract
Context: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disorder characterized by increased bone fragility largely caused by defects in structure, synthesis, or post-translational processing of type I collagen. The effectiveness of medications used for fracture reduction in adults with OI is understudied and practice recommendations are not well established. Drugs currently used to improve skeletal health in OI were initially developed to treat osteoporosis. Oral and intravenous bisphosphonates have been shown to improve bone mineral density (BMD) in adults with OI and are commonly used; however, conclusive data confirming fracture protection are lacking. Similarly, teriparatide appears to increase BMD, an effect that seems to be limited to individuals with type I OI. The role of denosumab, abaloparatide, romosozumab, and estradiol/testosterone in adult OI have not been systematically studied. Anti-sclerostin agents and transforming growth factor-beta antagonists are under investigation in clinical trials.
Objective: This review summarizes current knowledge on pharmacologic treatment options for reducing fracture risk in adults with OI.
Methods: A PubMed online database search of all study types published in the English language using the terms "osteogenesis imperfecta," "OI," and "brittle bone disease" was performed in June 2022. Articles screened were restricted to adults. Additional sources were identified through manual searches of reference lists.
Conclusion: Fracture rates are elevated in adults with OI. Although clinical trial data are limited, bisphosphonates and teriparatide may be useful in improving BMD. Further research is needed to develop medications for adults with OI that will lead to definite fracture rate reduction.

Background: The treatment of mandibular angle fractures remains controversial, particularly regarding the method of fixation. The primary aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes following treatment with 1-plate versus 2-plate fixation across two oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics. The secondary aim was to evaluate associations between patient-, trauma-, and procedure-specific factors with postoperative complications and to identify high-risk patients for secondary osteosynthesis.

Background: A modified pull-through approach represents a promising treatment strategy to access tumors in the posterior oral cavity. The design of the wedge osteotomy plays a key role in preserving postoperative mechanical stability while enabling surgical access. However, the optimal osteotomy design to reduce fracture risk remains unclear.

Background: This study evaluates the accuracy of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, specifically a convolutional neural network (CNN), in classifying elbow fractures using the detailed 2018 AO/OTA fracture classification system.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 5,367 radiograph exams visualizing the elbow from adult patients (2002-2016) was conducted using a deep neural network. Radiographs were manually categorized according to the 2018 AO/OTA system by orthopedic surgeons.

Introduction: subtalar dislocations, typical of high-energy trauma, are classified as medial, lateral, anterior or posterior depending on the deviation of the foot in relation to the talus. Lateral dislocation accounts for 17% of the total and has a worse prognosis. Immediate reduction is required to reduce the risk of sequelae, the incidence of which is around 90%.

Articular tuberculosis is a rare condition, with extrapulmonary presentations most commonly appearing in joints such as the hip or knee. It is usually associated with conditions like immunosuppression or a history of pulmonary tuberculosis. Diagnosis involves imaging or pathology, and treatment typically involves surgical intervention along with medication.
