Article Abstract
Background: Pediatric asthma, as a chronic inflammatory condition, has been associated with increased fracture risk due to persistent inflammation and corticosteroid treatment. This study investigates the association between pediatric asthma and fracture risk using data from the National Health Insurance Service database of South Korea.
Methods: Children born from 2002 to 2004 were selected for the analysis, utilizing information from the Korean National Health Insurance Service National Sample Cohort up to 2019. Exclusion criteria included asthma diagnosis before age 6, history of prior fractures, and the presence of severe comorbidities. Asthma cases were identified by the Korean Standard Classification of Diseases, 8th Revision (KCD-8) codes J45 and J46, and fractures were determined using all relevant KCD-8 codes. Propensity score matching was used to balance demographic and clinical characteristics between the asthma and non-asthma groups. Fracture risk was analyzed using logistic regression models adjusted for covariates. Within the asthma cohort, the analysis investigated corticosteroid exposure, focusing on both recent and cumulative exposure to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and systemic corticosteroids within 1 year before the occurrence of fractures.
Results: From an initial cohort of 30,409 children, 13,275 were included in the final analysis, comprising 2325 asthma patients and 10,950 non-asthma controls. Asthma was associated with a higher risk of fractures (Odds Ratio [OR]: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.12-1.34, p < .001). Among asthma patients, recent ICS use within 90 days before a fracture was linked to the highest risk (Adjusted Odds Ratio [Adjusted OR]: 2.98, 95% CI: 2.95-3.05, p < .001). Systemic corticosteroid use showed a dose-dependent relationship with increased fracture risk.
Conclusion: Pediatric asthma and corticosteroid treatment are both significantly associated with elevated fracture risk. These results emphasize the necessity for comprehensive asthma management strategies that prioritize bone health.

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.
