    Abstract Objective: To investigate whether osteoarthritis (OA) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD); whether there are differences concerning ischaemic heart disease (IHD), congestive heart failure (CHF) and stroke; and whether there are differences between OA sites (hips, knees and hand) in predicting CVD onset.
    Design: Population-based matched case-control study.
    Setting: Health insurance claims data among Japanese patients.
    Participants: Japanese patients aged ≥65 years with newly diagnosed CVD and hospitalised between January 2015 and December 2020 (cases) and age-matched and sex-matched 1:1 individuals (controls).
    Main outcome measures: A conditional logistic regression model was used to estimate the adjusted ORs and their 95% CIs for CVD, IHD, CHF and stroke risk, adjusting for covariates.
    Results: A total of 79 296 patients were included, with respect to CVD (39 648 patients with newly diagnosed CVD and 39 648 controls). After adjustment for covariates, the exposure odds of knee OA (KOA), hip OA (HipOA) and hand OA (HandOA) for CVD were 1.192 (95% CI 1.115 to 1.274), 1.057 (95% CI 0.919 to 1.215) and 1.035 (95% CI 0.684 to 1.566), respectively, showing an association only for KOA. The exposure odds of KOA, HipOA and HandOA for IHD were 1.187 (95% CI 1.086 to 1.297), 1.078 (95% CI 0.891 to 1.306) and 1.099 (95% CI 0.677 to 1.784), respectively. The exposure odds of KOA, HipOA and HandOA for stroke were 1.221 (95% CI 1.099 to 1.356), 0.918 (95% CI 0.723 to 1.165) and 1.169 (95% CI 0.635 to 2.151), respectively. Similar to CVD, only KOA was associated with both. For CHF, neither KOA nor HipOA and HandOA were associated with CHF development.
    Conclusion: This study confirms the association of KOA with CVD, particularly IHD and stroke, in the Japanese population. The finding that patients with KOA have a higher CVD risk can potentially assist in guiding future treatment strategies.

    Abstract Background and aims: To investigate the factors associated with changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and the incidence of fractures in osteoporotic patients treated with denosumab.
    Methods: This retrospective study included 162 osteoporotic patients treated with denosumab for 24 months between 2013 and 2019. Patients were divided according to the changes in BMD as nonresponders (N
    Results: The respective changes in the LBMD and FNBMD after 24 months of denosumab treatment were 9.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 8.1-10.6) and 3.3% (95% CI: 2.1-4.5). Twenty-eight (17.3%) patients were in the N
    Conclusion: In osteoporotic patients receiving denosumab treatment, a history of bisphosphonate treatment was a risk factor for a lack of increase in LBMD, and a higher FNBMD at baseline was negatively associated with the change in FNBMD.

    Abstract We aimed to investigate the relationship between superoxide dismutase 2-related oxidative stress in the paraspinal muscles and spinal alignment, clinical skeletal muscle parameters, and mitochondrial function. Multifidus muscle samples from patients who underwent posterior lumbar surgery were analyzed. Patients with diseases affecting oxidative stress and spinal alignment were excluded. The superoxide dismutase 2 redox index was defined as the ratio of reactive oxygen species (superoxide) to antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase 2) and was used as an index of oxidative stress. Patients were divided into two groups based on the superoxide dismutase 2 redox index. Spinal alignment, clinical skeletal muscle parameters, and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) mean grayscale value were compared between the groups, with analyzes for both sexes. Multiple regression analyzes were used to adjust for the confounding effect of age on variables showing a significant difference between the two groups. Thirty-five patients with lumbar degenerative diseases were included. No significant differences were observed between the two groups for any of the parameters in males; however, females with a higher superoxide dismutase 2 redox index had greater lumbar lordosis, lower grip strength, and higher SDH mean grayscale value than those with a lower index. Multiple regression analyzes revealed that the superoxide dismutase 2 redox index was an independent explanatory variable for lumbar lordosis, grip strength, and SDH mean grayscale value in female patients. In conclusion, superoxide dismutase 2-related oxidative stress in the paraspinal muscles was associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and decreased grip strength in female lumbar degenerative disease patients.

    Abstract Aims: It is important to analyze objectively the hammering sound in cup press-fit technique in total hip arthroplasty (THA) in order to better understand the change of the sound during impaction. We hypothesized that a specific characteristic would present in a hammering sound with successful fixation. We designed the study to quantitatively investigate the acoustic characteristics during cementless cup impaction in THA.
    Methods: In 52 THAs performed between November 2018 and April 2022, the acoustic parameters of the hammering sound of 224 impacts of successful press-fit fixation, and 55 impacts of unsuccessful press-fit fixation, were analyzed. The successful fixation was defined if the following two criteria were met: 1) intraoperatively, the stability of the cup was retained after manual application of the torque test; and 2) at one month postoperatively, the cup showed no translation on radiograph. Each hammering sound was converted to sound pressures in 24 frequency bands by fast Fourier transform analysis. Basic patient characteristics were assessed as potential contributors to the hammering sound.
    Results: The median sound pressure (SP) of successful fixation at 0.5 to 1.0 kHz was higher than that of unsuccessful fixation (0.0694 (interquartile range (IQR) 0.04721 to 0.09576) vs 0.05425 (IQR 0.03047 to 0.06803), p < 0.001). The median SP of successful fixation at 3.5 to 4.0 kHz and 4.0 to 4.5 kHz was lower than that of unsuccessful fixation (0.0812 (IQR 0.05631 to 0.01161) vs 0.1233 (IQR 0.0730 to 0.1449), p < 0.001; and 0.0891 (IQR 0.0526 to 0.0891) vs 0.0885 (IQR 0.0716 to 0.1048); p < 0.001, respectively). There was a statistically significant positive relationship between body weight and SP at 0.5 to 1.0 kHz (p < 0.001). Multivariate analyses indicated that the SP at 0.5 to 1.0 kHz and 3.5 to 4.0 kHz was independently associated with the successful fixation.
    Conclusion: The frequency bands of 0.5 to 1.0 and 3.5 to 4.0 kHz were the key to distinguish the sound characteristics between successful and unsuccessful press-fit cup fixation.

    Abstract Background The recommended treatment for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in active, sports-oriented patients is reconstructive surgery in order to regain stability and prevent secondary meniscal injuries. However, ACL reconstruction requires a long recovery period and poses issues such as decreased muscle strength due to tendon harvesting and postoperative osteoarthritis (OA) progression, thereby raising significant expectations for the advancement of conservative treatments. Recent studies have shown that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which utilizes the tissue repair-promoting property of platelets, is effective for ACL injuries. Methods We administered PRP therapy within six weeks after ACL injury in patients who expressed the desire for an early return to sports through conservative care. After the treatment, patients wore a simple brace that limited deep flexion but placed no restrictions on weight bearing. Four months was the standard goal established for returning to pre-injury condition, and, depending on the target level, timing, and knee condition, we adjusted the additional PRP treatments and rehabilitation approach, gradually authorizing the patients' return to sport. We assessed the ligament repair status by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) just before the full return to sports. A retrospective survey was conducted to evaluate the status of ligament repair and the condition of return-to-sport in patients with ACL injuries who underwent conservative treatment using PRP. Results The average patient age was 32.7 years and the average treatment was 2.8 PRP sessions. MRI evaluations confirmed that ligament continuity was regained in all cases. All the patients returned to their pre-injury level (Tegner Activity Scale 7.0) in an average of 139.5 days, but there was one instance of re-rupture following the return to sports. Conclusion All patients with ACL injury who underwent PRP therapy regained ligament continuity and returned to sport successfully with only one case of re-rupture.

    Abstract Objective:  In this study, we propose a novel framework that utilizes deep learning and attention mechanisms to predict the radiographic progression of patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) over a period of 7 years.
    Material and methods:  This study included subjects (1,832 subjects, 3,276 knees) from the baseline of the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST). Patellofemoral joint regions of interest were identified using an automated landmark detection tool (BoneFinder) on lateral knee X-rays. An end-to-end deep learning method was developed for predicting PFOA progression based on imaging data in a five-fold cross-validation setting. To evaluate the performance of the models, a set of baselines based on known risk factors were developed and analyzed using gradient boosting machine (GBM). Risk factors included age, sex, body mass index, and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index score, and the radiographic osteoarthritis stage of the tibiofemoral joint (Kellgren and Lawrence [KL] score). Finally, to increase predictive power, we trained an ensemble model using both imaging and clinical data.
    Results:  Among the individual models, the performance of our deep convolutional neural network attention model achieved the best performance with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.856 and average precision (AP) of 0.431, slightly outperforming the deep learning approach without attention (AUC = 0.832, AP = 0.4) and the best performing reference GBM model (AUC = 0.767, AP = 0.334). The inclusion of imaging data and clinical variables in an ensemble model allowed statistically more powerful prediction of PFOA progression (AUC = 0.865, AP = 0.447), although the clinical significance of this minor performance gain remains unknown. The spatial attention module improved the predictive performance of the backbone model, and the visual interpretation of attention maps focused on the joint space and the regions where osteophytes typically occur.
    Conclusion:  This study demonstrated the potential of machine learning models to predict the progression of PFOA using imaging and clinical variables. These models could be used to identify patients who are at high risk of progression and prioritize them for new treatments. However, even though the accuracy of the models were excellent in this study using the MOST dataset, they should be still validated using external patient cohorts in the future.

    Abstract Background: Shear wave elastography (SWE) has been used to examine the elasticity of a ruptured Achilles tendon; however, the healing process of a ruptured tendon has not been studied yet. This study aimed to detail the change in mechanical properties of a healing Achilles tendon rupture managed conservatively or surgically using SWE.
    Methods: Using a prospective cohort study design, we evaluated the patients treated conservatively (conservative group) and surgically (surgical group) with the "gift-box" technique for an isolated index acute Achilles tendon rupture during their healing process. SWE measurements were taken of both the injured and uninjured sides every 4 weeks up to 24, 36, and 48 weeks after treatment. Additionally, tendon thickness and power Doppler (PD) grade were measured at the same time points as SWE measurements. The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot rating system score and Achilles tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS) were compared at 24 and 48 weeks.
    Results: The ruptured Achilles tendon obtained an SWE value comparable with the unruptured side at 12 weeks in the conservative group and at 4 weeks with surgical group. The surgical group had significantly higher SWE values up to 24 weeks compared with the conservative group. Additionally, this group had a significantly larger increase in tendon thickness in nearly all periods. Both treatment groups were comparable regarding the PD grade, AOFAS score, and ATRS.
    Conclusion: SWE is a convenient noninvasive method to determine the progress of the healing process after tendon injury. Our analysis using SWE has revealed the detailed chronologic changes in SWE values and related mechanical properties of a healing Achilles tendon rupture, which can be used for devising appropriate rehabilitation protocols.
    Level of evidence: Level II, prospective cohort study.

    Abstract Surgical treatment for a distal radius fracture using a volar locking plate is difficult if the distal radius malunion remains. Therefore, a different surgical method from volar locking plate fixation should be required. We report the case of an 83-year-old woman with a left dorsal displaced distal radius fracture. However, the deformity of the volar cortex of the radius was recognized because of a previous distal radius fracture. Therefore, osteosynthesis with a locked wire fixator was performed. At 12 months after surgery, the patient has returned to daily activities without difficulty. A locked wire fixator can be useful for treating a distal radius fracture with malunion of the volar cortex of the distal radius.

    Abstract We report the entrapment of the extensor tendons following a growth plate fracture of the distal radius in a teenager. It is difficult to detect tendon entrapment at the fracture site immediately after the injury and diagnosis is typically made after fracture union when patients present with an inability to extend the thumb/reduced digital movement. A careful examination of our patient demonstrated some loss of digital motion and the plain radiographs, and computed tomographic scan showed incomplete reduction suggesting tendon entrapment. Early detection of the entrapped tendons allowed prompt release averting the need for tendon reconstruction. This report highlights the need for clinicians to maintain a high index of suspicion for tendon entrapment in patients with distal radius fractures that present with limited digital motion associated with incomplete reduction. An early diagnosis followed by the timely release can result in excellent outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Listening to the change in the hammering sound is 1 of the elements used to assess the cementless stem stability. This study aimed to quantitatively investigate the change in the acoustic characteristics between the early and late phases of cementless stem insertion in total hip arthroplasty and to identify which patient characteristics contribute to the change in the hammering sound.
    Methods: The acoustic parameters of the hammering sounds in the early and late phases of cementless taper-wedged stem insertion for 51 hips in 45 patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (mean age = 68 years, height = 1.56 m, weight = 55.0 kg) were analyzed. Parameters including patient's basic characteristics, radiographical femoral morphology, and canal fill ratio were assessed as potential contributors to the change in the hammering sound.
    Results: The low-frequency bands (0.5-1.0 kHz and 1.0-1.5 kHz) showed the largest changes during stem insertion and were therefore considered key bands for the analysis of sound alterations. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that height (β = 8.312,
    Conclusions: Patients with smaller stature showed the least change in the hammering sound during stem insertion. Understanding the acoustic characteristics of hammering sound alteration during cementless stem insertion may aid in the achievement of optimal stem insertion.
