Low Grip Strength is a Strong Risk Factor of Osteoporosis in Postmenopausal Women
ConclusionHandgrip strength and 25OHD decrease with aging in postmenopausal women. The patients with lower 25OHD level had significantly lower BMD of femoral neck. The patients with lower handgrip strength had significantly lower BMD of lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip. Grip strength measurement is the simplest muscle strength measurement method. Our study confirmed that low grip strength was correlated with low BMD and was a strong risk factor for osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Micro Perfusion and Quantitative Analysis of the Femoral Head Intraosseous Artery
The present study investigates the feasibility of micro perfusion of femoral head specimens from femoral neck fracture patients by the inferior retinacular arteries and performing intraosseous artery quantitative analysis of the femoral head. Twelve femoral neck fracture patients who had undergone conventional hip replacement surgery were included in this study. Femoral head specimen arteries were first dissected and exposed and then perfused by the inferior retinacular arteries and all the femoral heads underwent micro‐CT scanning. After micro‐CT scanning, a digital 3‐D model was reconstructed to quantify the femora...

Detecting the Presence of Bacterial DNA and RNA by Polymerase Chain Reaction to Diagnose Suspected Periprosthetic Joint Infection after Antibiotic Therapy
ConclusionsDNA‐based qPCR could detect suspected PJI with high sensitivity after antibiotic therapy. RNA‐based qPCR could reduce the false positive rates of DNA‐based assays. qPCR‐based methods could improve the efficiency of PJI diagnosis. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Effect of Asymmetric Tension on Biomechanics and Metabolism of Vertebral Epiphyseal Plate in a Rodent Model of Scoliosis
ConclusionsIn this study, asymmetric tension contributed to asymmetry in protein expression and bone quality on vertebral epiphyseal plates, ultimately resulting in asymmetry of anatomy. In addition, asymmetry of anatomy aggravated asymmetric tension. It is the first study to show that there is an asymmetrical vicious circle in IS. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Biomechanical Stability Analysis of a Stand ‐alone Cage, Static and Rotational‐dynamic Plate in a Two‐level Cervical Fusion Construct
ConclusionsCervical stand‐alone interbody spacers caused significant restriction in the range of motion. Both plates significantly augmented the stability of stand‐alone interbody spacers, with similar stabilizing effect. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Multicenter Study on Observation of Acute ‐phase Responses After Infusion of Zoledronic Acid 5 mg in Chinese Women with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
ConclusionsCompared with Western populations, Chinese patients had a higher rate of fever and pain after their first zoledronic acid infusion. These symptoms were often mild to moderate in intensity and transient in duration. NSAID could effectively reduce the incidence and severity of such APR. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Analysis of Spino ‐pelvic Sagittal Alignment in Young Chinese Patients with Lumbar Disc Herniation
ConclusionsThere is no difference in PI between young Chinese patients with lumbar disc herniation and the normal population. Young LDH patients may present flat lumbar and thoracic curves, as well as lower sacral slope. The anteversion sagittal imbalance is regulated by both the spine and the pelvis.

Selective Arterial Embolization for the Treatment of Sacral and Pelvic Giant Cell Tumor: A Systematic Review
Giant cell tumor of the bone (GCTB) is a locally aggressive tumor with a certain distant metastatic rate. For sacral GCT (SGCT) and pelvic GCT (PGCT), surgery has its limitations, especially for unresectable or recurrent tumors. Selective arterial embolization (SAE) is reported to be an option for treatment in several cases, but there are few systematic reviews on the effects of SAE on SGCT and/or PGCT. Medline and Embase databases were searched for eligible English articles. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were conducted before searching. All the clinical factors were measured by SPSS software, with P‐values ≤0.05 co...
