Evaluation of the Efficacy of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulation Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang-Saan on Colles Fracture After Surgery: Protocol for a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Evaluation of the Efficacy of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulation Ru-Yi-Jin-Huang-Saan on Colles Fracture After Surgery: Protocol for a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Distal radial fracture is the most common fracture clinically and is approximately one-sixth of cases in emergency departments in the United States [1]. Studies on the Taiwanese population have shown that the prevalence of Colles fracture was 10.2-14.5 per 10,000 people [2]. This situation causes huge losses to the social economy, as well as decreased school attendance, lost work hours, care needs, and permanent disability [3].

A Computed Tomography–Based Fracture Prediction Model With Images of Vertebral Bones and Muscles by Employing Deep Learning: Development and Validation Study

A Computed Tomography–Based Fracture Prediction Model With Images of Vertebral Bones and Muscles by Employing Deep Learning: Development and Validation Study

Various images have been used in CNN to classify patients with a high fracture risk [11-14]. Previous studies have primarily focused on the use of radiographic images for fracture detection, with AUROCs reported in the range of 0.73-0.80 [14,15]. However, there is scarcity of research utilizing CT images, and this is limited to bone texture analysis.

Using In-Shoe Inertial Measurement Unit Sensors to Understand Daily-Life Gait Characteristics in Patients With Distal Radius Fractures During 6 Months of Recovery: Cross-Sectional Study

Using In-Shoe Inertial Measurement Unit Sensors to Understand Daily-Life Gait Characteristics in Patients With Distal Radius Fractures During 6 Months of Recovery: Cross-Sectional Study

In the fracture group, we recruited 16 female patients with DRF who had undergone surgery for their first fragility fracture from 5 general hospitals. We compared their results to those of 28 healthy female volunteers. Women without a history of fragility fractures were recruited as the control group through local media advertisements.

Potential Effects of an Exoskeleton-Assisted Overground Walking Program for Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury Who Uses a Wheelchair on Imaging and Serum Markers of Bone Strength: Pre-Post Study

Potential Effects of an Exoskeleton-Assisted Overground Walking Program for Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury Who Uses a Wheelchair on Imaging and Serum Markers of Bone Strength: Pre-Post Study

This complication, referred to as sublesional osteoporosis, is associated with an increased risk of fracture, notably at the distal femur and proximal tibia [5]. Bone strength is directly related to fracture risk and can be influenced by several characteristics, such as bone mineral density and content, as well as geometry [6]. Measuring areal bone mineral density by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) remains widely recommended to assess fracture risk in this population [7].

Effectiveness and Cost of Using Facebook Recruitment to Elicit Canadian Women’s Perspectives on Bone Health and Osteoporosis: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Effectiveness and Cost of Using Facebook Recruitment to Elicit Canadian Women’s Perspectives on Bone Health and Osteoporosis: Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Osteoporosis is a prevalent health condition, affecting more than two-thirds of postmenopausal women, with up to half experiencing a fragility fracture [8,9]. However, minimal data are available regarding the perspectives and preferences of Canadian women on the topics of bone health and osteoporosis prevention, limiting efforts to develop acceptable, preference-sensitive management strategies.

Diagnostic Accuracy and Confidence in Management of Forearm and Hand Fractures Among Foundation Doctors in the Accident and Emergency Department: Survey Study

Diagnostic Accuracy and Confidence in Management of Forearm and Hand Fractures Among Foundation Doctors in the Accident and Emergency Department: Survey Study

In considering which fractures to choose, the authors were influenced by the fact that the most common fracture seen in adult trauma is of the distal radius [10]. Similarly, scaphoid fractures are the most common carpal fracture and account for between 2% to 7% of all fractures [11].

Transfer Validity of Pediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fracture Pin Placement Practice on In-Theater Performance by Orthopedic Trainees Using an Augmented Reality Simulator: Protocol for a Pilot Interventional Cohort Study With a Retrospective Comparator Cohort

Transfer Validity of Pediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fracture Pin Placement Practice on In-Theater Performance by Orthopedic Trainees Using an Augmented Reality Simulator: Protocol for a Pilot Interventional Cohort Study With a Retrospective Comparator Cohort

The gold standard for the management of operative cases is closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP), unless severe neurovascular compromise or an open fracture is present [6-8]. CRPP is seen as a more effective and safer method for treating displaced SCHF than nonoperative and open reduction methods [9-12]. The status quo of apprenticeship-style orthopedic training does not enable standardized hands-on skill practice outside of the operating room.

The Application of Machine Learning in Predicting Mortality Risk in Patients With Severe Femoral Neck Fractures: Prediction Model Development Study

The Application of Machine Learning in Predicting Mortality Risk in Patients With Severe Femoral Neck Fractures: Prediction Model Development Study

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) accounts for approximately 3.58% of all fractures in the entire body [1], exhibiting an increasing trend each year. According to a survey, in 1990, the total number of hip fractures in men and women worldwide was approximately 338,000 and 917,000, respectively [2]. In China, FNFs account for 48.22% of hip fractures [3].

Pilot Project for a Web-Based Dynamic Nomogram to Predict Survival 1 Year After Hip Fracture Surgery: Retrospective Observational Study

Pilot Project for a Web-Based Dynamic Nomogram to Predict Survival 1 Year After Hip Fracture Surgery: Retrospective Observational Study

As many as 7 of 100 patients die in the first 30 days after hip fracture [1-4]. Mortality in the first 365 days after hip fracture surgery varies between 14% and 23% of patients [5,6]. Identification of individual risk can inform anesthetic and surgical decision-making and potentially improve outcomes. However, mathematical models can be complex and difficult to interpret, and the effect of changes in continuous or categorical variables may not be obvious.

One-Year Postfracture Mortality Rate in Older Adults With Hip Fractures Relative to Other Lower Extremity Fractures: Retrospective Cohort Study

One-Year Postfracture Mortality Rate in Older Adults With Hip Fractures Relative to Other Lower Extremity Fractures: Retrospective Cohort Study

Dementia has been identified as a major risk factor for hip fracture [7], is associated with increased mortality risk after hip fracture [8], and is linked to increased postoperative complications following hip fracture repair [9]. Similarly, T2 D has been identified as a fracture risk factor [10], with insulin treatment status additionally modifying the region-specific fracture [11,12].
