Abstract Objectives Global population aging is leading to a greater retention of natural teeth into later life and an increasing prevalence of dental implant therapy. Although advanced age has traditionally been regarded as a risk factor for compromised outcomes, population level evidence remains lacking.

Medical Cost Analysis of the Osteoporotic Hip Fractures
Objective: Osteoporotic hip fractures decrease the life expectancy for 20% about 20-50% of the patients become permanently dependent in terms of walking for the rest of their life. Life expectancy is increasing in Turkey in the last 20 years.

Prevention of fracture at the distal locking site of the gamma nail. A biomechanical study [PDF]
To investigate the origin of fractures at the distal locking site of the Gamma nail, we loaded ten paired human cadaver femora fixed with a Gamma nail in torsion until they fractured. When an awl was hammered in to start the

Bisphosphonate-related bilateral atypical femoral fractures : be aware and beware [PDF]
Although bisphosphonates have a well established therapeutic role in the prevention of osteoporosis-related fractures, several reports published over the past 5-6 years suggest a possible causative relationship between long-term use of bisphosphonates ...

Automated 3D trabecular bone structure analysis of the proximal femur—prediction of biomechanical strength by CT and DXA [PDF]
SummaryThe standard diagnostic technique for assessing osteoporosis is dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measuring bone mass parameters. In this study, a combination of DXA and trabecular structure parameters (acquired by computed tomography [CT]) most ...

External fixation of “intertrochanteric” fractures
In developing countries, due to limited availability of modern anesthesia and overcrowding of the hospitals with patients who need surgery, high-risk patients with "intertrochanteric" fractures remain unsuita ble for open reduction and internal fixation.The aim of this study was to analyze the results of external fixation of "intertrochanteric ...

This study used finite element analysis to compare the stress distribution and displacement characteristics of three intramedullary fixation constructs—proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA), proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN), and proximal femoral laterally bionic intramedullary nail (PFLBN)—for AO/OTA 31‐A3.1 intertrochanteric fractures.

Prevention of osteoporotic refractures in regional Australia [PDF]
Objective: Clinical guidelines recommend that patients who sustain a minimal trauma fracture (MTF) should receive a bone mineral density (BMD) scan and bisphosphonate (or equivalent) therapy if diagnosed with osteoporosis.
