Summary: The study found that individuals with type 2 diabetes have a significantly increased mortality risk following fractures. This risk is particularly high for those with diabetes duration of more than 5 years and experiencing hip/vertebral fractures (in men) or non-hip non-vertebral fractures (in women). Therefore, careful monitoring and management after fractures are crucial for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Summary: Limited information is available on age-related mortality across fractures in different anatomical regions. This study aimed to investigate mortality rates at 30 days and 1 year post-fracture within four different age groups. The findings showed that older age groups had higher mortality rates, and fractures of the femur and humerus diaphysis were associated with the highest mortality rates. Additionally, pelvic, acetabulum, spine, and tibia fractures had moderately high mortality rates across all age groups.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of time to surgery on 1-year survival in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. The findings showed that time-to-surgery had no significant effect on one-year mortality in geriatric patients with these fractures, suggesting that treatment decisions should be individualized.

Summary: In this international study, the researchers analyzed the incidence of hip fractures, post-fracture treatment, and all-cause mortality following hip fractures across different countries and regions. They used patient-level healthcare data from 19 countries and identified 4,115,046 hip fractures from 2005 to 2018. The study revealed variations in the global epidemiology of hip fractures and post-fracture outcomes, highlighting the need for interventions to reduce the burden of osteoporotic fractures.

Summary: A better understanding of the features of subsequent fractures after distal radius fracture (DRF) is important for the prevention of further osteoporotic fractures. This study in South Korea found that the cumulative incidence of subsequent osteoporotic fractures increased over time and that the mortality rates of subsequent DRFs were lower than those of first-time DRFs, with women having higher risk of subsequent fractures.

Limited evidence is available for treating multiple column fractures (Schatzker V and VI) in older patients. This study reviewed the outcomes of using Ilizarov frame fixation in a cohort of patients over 60 years old, and found that it is a highly successful technique with low morbidity rates.

Summary: This Dutch registry study identified risk factors for rebubbling and early graft failure in DMEK. Rebubbling was associated with higher graft failure, while older recipient age and surgical complications were risk factors for rebubbling. Early graft failure risk factors included transplantation before 2016 and surgical complications. Rebubbling was also associated with significantly lower endothelial cell densities.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the placebo response in pharmacological trials for functional dyspepsia (FD). The study found that the pooled placebo response rate ranged from 35.5% to 39.6% depending on the responder definition used. Lower baseline symptom scores were significantly associated with higher placebo response rates. The study suggests considering entry criteria based on symptom severity and separate reporting of core FD symptoms in future trials.

Summary: This study found that patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have a higher mortality rate compared to the general population, and healthy individuals carrying the HLA-B27 gene also have a similar risk. Additionally, female patients have a lower life expectancy. However, in the overall European population, the presence of the HLA-B27 gene does not affect survival or the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

Summary: Understanding the health effects of scaled-up school-based interventions is crucial for integrating health in schools. This study examined the effectiveness of the Healthy Primary School of the Future (HPSF) initiative in real-world settings. Due to COVID-19 limitations, implementation of HPSF activities was restricted. Results showed that waist circumference in the medium implementer group significantly increased at one-year and two-year follow-up compared to the low implementer group. No significant effects were observed for other outcomes.

The results show that the modified Stoppa approach has a shorter operative time, less intra-operative blood loss, and fewer complications. The ilioinguinal approach achieves better anatomic reduction. However, there were no significant differences in terms of vascular lesions, clinical and functional outcomes between the two groups.

Summary: This study aims to investigate dental traumatic injuries related to standing electric scooters and compare them with injuries caused by other factors. The results indicate that crown-root fractures and avulsions are more common in electric scooter accidents. Additionally, relatively minor dental injuries, such as concussions and subluxations, are more likely to occur as combined injuries in electric scooter accidents. The study suggests the need for strengthened policies and enforcement of laws to prevent severe dental and craniofacial trauma associated with electric scooter use.

Summary: This study discussed the role of fracture site tissue exosomes lncRNAs-mRNAs networks on post-injury adaptation (PIA) promoting bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation and migration. The results confirmed that PIA accelerated BMSCs proliferation and migration, and identified tissue exosomes as the key factor in this process. By analyzing the tissue exosomes lncRNAs-mRNAs networks, several hub genes, such as Akt1, Actb, and Uba52, were identified, and Kif11 was found to be a key gene in BMSCs regulated by tissue-derived exosomes of PIA treated rats.

Summary: A retrospective propensity score matched cohort study was conducted using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database to compare outcomes for patients with recently diagnosed COVID-19 infection and those without COVID-19 infection undergoing operative treatment of hip fractures. The results showed that COVID-19-positive patients had a higher risk of 30-day mortality, pneumonia, unplanned intubation, septic shock, longer length of hospital stay, and discharge to an acute care hospital. Active COVID-19 infection is an independent risk factor for complications and increased resource utilization in these patients.

Summary: Calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture, an extra-articular injury, is a rare fracture caused internally by intense contraction of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex, and externally by low-energy (possibly high-energy). The risk of injuries to the skin and Achilles tendon around the calcaneal tuberosity is closely related to the Lee classification and Carnero-Martin de Soto Classification of this type of fracture. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through X-ray, digital imaging, and CT, but MRI should also be used to assess the soft tissue. Recent advances in understanding this fracture have led to the development of different internal fixation devices and surgical procedures that provide stable fracture reduction and resistance to Achilles tendon forces. This article reviews the new insights into the anatomy, classification, risk factors, and treatment modalities of calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture in recent years.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of compression screw and non-weight-bearing techniques in treating pediatric Jones fractures. The results showed that compared to non-weight-bearing techniques, compression screw fixation can shorten the radiographic union time, immobilization time, and facilitate earlier return to full weight bearing and daily life. We recommend the use of compression screw fixation for widely displaced fractures and school-age active adolescents.
