Article Abstract
Unlabelled: We found that a standardized order set after hip fracture increased initiation of anti-osteoporosis medication and increased persistence at 1 year, but did not reduce secondary fractures.
Background: A treatment gap exists after osteoporosis-related fractures. Introducing standardized care can improve treatment. We evaluated the impact of a hip fracture order set (OS) on anti-osteoporosis medication (AOM) initiation, persistence, and secondary fracture prevention.
Methods: In 2015, one hospital in Manitoba, Canada, introduced a hip fracture OS including recommendations for the initiation of AOM (OS group). A control group was identified from the other hospitals in the same region. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using linked administrative health data. All individuals 50 + years with surgical treatment for low-energy hip fracture between 2010 and 2019 were included and followed for AOM initiation, medication persistence at 1 year, and secondary fractures. Between-group differences for each year were assessed using chi-square tests. Logistic regression models tested the impact of socio-demographic and clinical factors on initiation, persistence of AOM. Cox regression tested the risk of secondary fracture.
Results: No baseline differences between OS group (813 patients) and control group (2150 patients) were observed in demographics, socioeconomic factors, or comorbidities. An increase in post-fracture AOM initiation was seen with OS introduction (OS group year before 16.7% versus year after 48.6%, p < 0.001). No change was seen in the control group. Persistence on AOM also increased (OS group year before 17.7% versus year after 28.4%, p < 0.001). No difference in secondary fractures was observed (OS group 19.8% versus control group 18.8%, p = 0.38).
Conclusion: Introduction of a hip fracture OS significantly increased AOM initiation and persistence at 1-year post-fracture. There was no significant difference in secondary fractures.

Physical Resilience After Hip Fracture: Unpacking the Roles of Resistance and Recovery.

Background: Physical resilience-the ability to withstand, recover, or adapt after a stressor-is critical in older adults facing acute insults. We conceptualize physical resilience to comprise two distinct but related components: resistance (immediate physiological response to the stressor) and recovery (subsequent health changes). These two components were used to evaluate how individuals respond to hip fracture-a common and severe geriatric stressor.

Unlabelled: People with a hip fracture are prone to break the bone around the metal repair, causing severe health issues. This study found that initiating anti-osteoporotic medication soon after the first fracture halves that risk, highlighting the benefit of early osteoporosis treatment.
Background: Hip fractures pose significant clinical challenges, often leading to prolonged hospitalization, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of subsequent fractures.

Unlabelled: Among individuals aged ≥ 40 years old, we found that after controlling for age, sex, FMI, and tissue thickness, an increase of 1kg/m of ALMI is associated with an increase in TBS of 0.058, which is approximately half of one population standard deviation, or 4.7% of the average value for TBS.

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.
