Effect of combination of multiple anti-inflammatory drugs strategy on postoperative delirium among older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery: a pilot randomized controlled trial
This study demonstrates that a perioperative anti-inflammatory bundle significantly reduces the prevalence of postoperative delirium in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery, without major side effects. Systemic inflammation…

Timing of Fracture Fixation in Ankle Fracture-Dislocations
We suggest that it is safe to perform primary ORIF on all dislocated ankle fractures if the soft tissue injury allows surgery within 48 hours. When significant swelling is present, patients with well-reduced fractures and with no soft…

Previous fracture and subsequent fracture risk: A meta-analysis to update FRAX
A previous history of fracture confers an increased risk of fracture of substantial importance beyond that explained by BMD. The effect is similar in men and women. Its quantitation on an international basis permits the more accurate use…

Predictors of osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women: a meta-analysis
Our findings facilitate the early prediction of osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women and may contribute to potential therapeutic approaches. By focusing on preventive strategies and identifying high-risk individuals, we can work…

Risk factors of vertebral re-fracture after PVP or PKP for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, especially in Eastern Asia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The main factors associated with re-fracture after PVP/PKP are sex, age, bone mineral density, AP ratio, Cobb ratio, VAS score, bone cement leakage and anti-osteoporosis treatment, especially in Eastern Asia.

Effects of Orthogeriatric Care Models on Outcomes of Hip Fracture Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
There is moderate quality evidence that orthogeriatrics reduces LOS, in-hospital mortality, 1-year mortality, and delirium of hip fracture patients and may reduce complications and cost, while the effect on functional outcome is…
