Breaking the Debilitating Cycle: Pathophysiology, Assessment, and Multimodal Intervention of Secondary Debilitation After Hip Fracture in Older Adults—A Narrative Review

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying “secondary debilitation after hip fracture,” discusses the clinical application of risk assessment tools, and presents a phased, stepwise intervention strategy aimed at interrupting the “vicious cycle.” ABSTRACT Hip fractures pose a serious threat to the ...

Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity Increases the Risk of Hip Fracture: A Longitudinal Cohort Study Based on CHARLS

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
CMM increase the risk of hip fracture, especially in relatively younger individuals and participants with a history of falls. From the perspective of CMM, controlling the number of chronic conditions is expected to block the risk–amplifying effect of multimorbidity on hip fracture and reduce the cost of intervention. ABSTRACT Background Cardiometabolic

Multilevel Revision Percutaneous Vertebroplasty in Elderly Patients With Osteoporotic Thoracolumbar Fractures: A Retrospective Cohort Study

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Multilevel revision percutaneous vertebroplasty (three or four levels) provided substantial and durable pain relief and functional improvement in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures, without increased complication rates. These findings support revision PVP as a safe and effective minimally invasive option for frail patients with ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Bone biology in aging periodontal and peri‐implant tissues

open access: yesPeriodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontal disease is an age‐related chronic inflammatory condition leading to tooth loss. Dental implants are an option for replacement of lost teeth in older adults. However, age‐related changes to alveolar bone may have pathological implications for its role in supporting the dentition and dental implants.
