Objective Osteoporosis causes fractures that further increase the disease burden of rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, osteoporosis treatment rates remain low. Although several studies have reported that biologic or targeted synthetic disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) can prevent or improve osteoporosis in RA, our large‐scale, real ...

BACKGROUND: physical activity is promoted for older women as a means of maintaining health and avoiding falls and fractures. Findings relating physical activity of older women to risk of falls and fracture are contradictory. The association between level

Abstract Recurrent lateral patellar instability poses a technical challenge to orthopaedic surgeons. Isolated soft‐tissue procedures through medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction or lateral release show unacceptably high failure rates. Lateral opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy addresses underlying bony malalignment and reinforces the soft ...

Abstract Patellar instability commonly affects adolescents and young athletes and is associated with injury to the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL). MPFL reconstruction is a well‐established treatment for recurrent instability; however, complications related to graft tensioning, fixation, and incomplete restoration of medial soft‐tissue restraints

Abstract Schatzker type III tibial plateau fractures, characterized by a pure depression of the lateral articular surface, predominantly affect osteoporotic, middle‐aged, and elderly patients. Successful management requires anatomical reduction and stable fixation to minimize complications like post‐traumatic arthritis.

Cost–benefit analysis of screening programme for diabetic retinopathy in Bulgaria
Aims Late‐diagnosed diabetic retinopathy (DR) is difficult and expensive to treat. Screening programmes can identify the disease early and reduce the costs of its future treatment. This study aims to analyse the cost–benefit of screening programmes for DR.

Abstract Background Postoperative opioids, intended for short‐term analgesia, contribute to new persistent opioid use in 1%–7% of patients, adversely affecting outcomes. Oxycodone may carry higher risk than morphine, though long‐term data are limited.

Neurovascular coupling in bone regeneration: Mechanisms, advanced biomaterials and challenges
This figure illustrates various material strategies for neurovascularized bone regeneration, including electroactive scaffolds, ion‐loaded materials, drug delivery systems, surface modifications, cells/cell products, growth factors, and peptides. These approaches aim to synergistically promote the regeneration of neural, vascular, and bone tissues ...

Probabilistic finite element analysis of the uncemented total hip replacement
There are many interacting factors affecting the performance of a total hip replacement(THR), such as prosthesis design and material properties, applied loads, surgical approach, femur size and quality, interface conditions etc.
