CONCLUSIONS: One in 5 patients with a hip fracture presented with myocardial injury. Accelerated surgery resulted in a lower mortality risk than standard care for these patients; however, these findings need to be confirmed.

CONCLUSION: Patients with MSD are approaching end of life care and high levels of treatment satisfaction are crucial at this juncture. The role of expectation management and comprehensive counselling is critical.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this cohort study of US adult trauma patients who were critically injured, patients who were uninsured underwent earlier WLST compared with those with private or Medicaid insurance. Based on our findings, patient's ability to pay was may be associated with a shift in decision-making for WLST, suggesting the influence of socioeconomics on patient outcomes.

Osteofibrous dysplasia (OFD) is a rare, benign, fibro-osseous lesion that occurs most commonly in the tibia of children. Tibial involvement leads to bowing and predisposes to the development of a fracture which exhibit significantly delayed healing processes, leading to prolonged morbidity. We previously identified gain-of-function mutations in the MET gene as a cause for OFD. In our present study, we test the hypothesis that gain-of-function MET mutations impair bone repair due to reduced...

Cervical spine injuries (CSIs) are heterogeneous in nature and often lead to long-term disability and morbidity. However, there are few recent and comprehensive epidemiological studies on CSI. The objective of this study was to characterize recent trends in CSI patient demographics, incidence, etiology, and injury level. The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) was used to extract data on CSIs from 2002-2022. Weighted national estimates of CSI incidence were computed using...

CONCLUSIONS: The BODY-Q MID estimates from before BCS to 3 years postoperatively ranged from 4 to 8 and are recommended for use to interpret patients' BODY-Q scores, evaluate treatment effects of different BCS procedures, and for calculating sample size for future studies.

CONCLUSION: Scapular posture was implicated as a potential factor affecting RTSA outcomes; however, the role of SSPA remains inconclusive. There is currently a lack of high-quality evidence in the literature to draw definitive conclusions regarding the impact of scapular posture and SSPA on RTSA outcomes. More research is warranted to investigate these relationships more comprehensively.
