Article Abstract
Researchers have reported increased fracture risk in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), but more knowledge on the long-term risk and the effects of age, male sex, and time-related changes is still needed. We examined the long-term (up to 40 years) fracture risk among patients with AN compared to a matched comparison cohort from the general population. We utilized data from the Danish Health Care Registers to identify 14,414 patients with AN (13,474 females and 940 males) diagnosed between 1977 and 2018, with a median age of 18.6 years and median follow-up time of 9.65 years. We calculated adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using Cox regression analysis for overall and site-specific fracture risks. The overall aHR of any fracture was 1.46 [95% CI: 1.36 to 1.48], with an aHR of 1.50 [95% CI: 1.43 to 1.57] for females and 0.95 [95% CI: 0.82 to 1.1] for males. For specific fractures we found an association with femur fractures both in females 4.06 [95% CI: 3.39 to 4.46] and in males 2.79 [95% CI: 1.45 to 2.37] and for fractures of the spine (females 2.38 [95% CI: 2.00 to 2.84], males 2.31 [95% CI: 1.20 to 4.42]). The aHR of any fracture decreased from 1.66 [95% CI: 1.52 to 1.81] in the period from 1977 to 1997 to 1.40 [95% CI: 1.33 to 1.40] from 1998 to 2018. In conclusion, we found that AN was associated with a 46% increased risk of any fracture up to 40 years after diagnosis. We found no overall increased risk in males, but in both sexes we found a particularly high site-specific fracture risk in the spine and femur. Fracture risk decreased in recent decades, indicating that more patients with AN have been diagnosed with presumably less severe disease and that the earlier detection and intervention of AN in recent years may translate into a lower facture risk. © 2023 The Authors.

Objectives: This study was performed to identify the characteristics of oral and maxillofacial injuries in children and determine factors influencing a treatment duration of more than 1 month using medical records.
Material And Methods: This retrospective observational study reviewed medical records of 258 children (< 16 years of age) with maxillofacial trauma treated at a university hospital between 2011 and 2021. Patients with and without tooth fractures or dislocations were compared, and the prevalence of injuries was analyzed across three age groups (0-2, 3-5, ≥ 6 years).

Background: Iatrogenic thoracic aortic injury (TAI) is a rare but well-recognized complication of spine surgery, lacking standardized treatment guidelines due to its rarity and variability of manifestations.
Methods: We present a new case of TAI successfully managed with endovascular repair and systematically reviewed 52 articles (1991-2024) reporting 64 cases, including demographics, surgical indications, injury patterns, and treatments.
Results: A 53-year-old man with a T7 fracture underwent posterior spinal instrumentation and developed chest pain due to a combination of impingement and screw penetration into the thoracic aorta and was treated with thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and removal of pedicle screws.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnostic value, risk model and prognostic significance of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in a retrospective cohort of 115 cases.
Methods: A total of 115 cases of EHE diagnosed in the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (NCC) from 2011 to 2023 were collected. The clinical and pathological features of EHE were reviewed by Fluorescence hybridization (FISH) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Clinical outcomes of robot-assisted vs. conventional free-hand technique in spine surgery.

Background: Robot-assisted surgery has been increasingly applied in spinal surgery in recent years, but the differences in efficacy compared to conventional free-hand surgery remain unclear. This study aims to evaluate the impact of these two surgical approaches on spinal surgery patients by analyzing baseline characteristics, surgical data, short-term postoperative outcomes, and long-term functional recovery and pain relief.
Methods: This study first analyzed the differences in baseline characteristics and surgical data between the robot-assisted and conventional free-hand surgery groups, including age, gender, diabetes, hypertension, smoking, and alcohol consumption.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) after surgery can cause serious sequelae in patients with tibial plateau fractures. This study aims to report the incidence and characteristics of SSI and to investigate the risk factors of SSI in adult patients with closed tibial plateau fracture, especially the relationship between SSI and preoperative hypoalbuminemia.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of adult patients with closed tibial plateau fracture who were treated at our institution from January 2016 to December 2022.
