Financial support: None. Conflict of interests: None. Over the last two decades, bisphosphonate has widely been applied in the treatment of osteoporosis. We reviewed the various adverse effects, current trials involving diverse bone metabolic diseases, and the future direction of bisphosphonate. Acute phase reaction, hypocalcemia, ocular inflammation, and gastrointestinal disturbances are the well-known short-term side-effects of bisphosphonate. Long term side-effects include osteonecrosis of the jaws and atypical femur fracture. In the modern clinical setting, bisphosphonate is widely used in treatments for osteoporosis, osteopenia, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and metastatic bone cancer. Further studies are underway for expanding the application as a bone-targeting agent in bone-related diseases. Bisphosphonate remains useful and invaluable as the 1st line medication for osteoporosis. Considering the numerous clinical situations, including time to medication after fracture, duration of drug usage, and individual drug holiday, an optimal and proper use of bisphosphonate needs to be achieved. In the current scenario, bisphosphonate will retain a strong position due to good efficacy and effectiveness for osteoporosis treatment, and the precise application to various bone diseases. We anticipate a key role of bisphosphonate for future application in the treatment of metabolic bone diseases. Further studies and advancement are highly anticipated, considering the high potential of bisphosphonate for various uses.

Financial support: None. Conflict of interests: None. Fragile fractures, also known as osteoporosis fractures, insufficiency fractures, and senile fractures are a significant problem encountered by orthopedic surgeons. Calcium and vitamin D are essential for maintaining bone health and deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D are major risk factors for the development of osteoporosis. Sufficient amounts of calcium are also required for fracture-callus mineralization. Hence, compromised bone repair that is frequently observed in osteoporotic patients might be attributed to calcium and vitamin D deficiencies. Consequently, calcium and vitamin D supplementation represents a potential strategy for treating compromised fracture healing in osteoporotic patients. There is some clinical evidence of the positive effect of supplementation in fracture healing and posttraumatic bone turnover, but research in this area is ongoing. Calcium and vitamin D should be the primary treatment of choice in osteopenic patients with an insufficiency of calcium and vitamin D and for the prevention of secondary osteoporotic fractures. Calcium and vitamin D can also be used as addition to other primary osteoporotic medications such as antiresorptive or bone-forming agents. The role of calcium and vitamin D in fracture healing and the therapeutic potential of calcium and vitamin D supplementation is summarized in this context.

Financial support: None. Conflict of interests: None. Although vascular injuries associated with femoral intertrochanteric fractures have been reported infrequently, bleeding due to vascular injury can lead to severe complications that can be potentially life and limb-threatening. The authors report a case of an injury of the ascending branch of the lateral femoral convolutional artery in a patient who underwent surgical treatment for a femoral intertrochanteric fracture. Vascular injury occurred due to the sharp margin of displaced lesser trochanter five weeks after surgery. Percutaneous transcatheter embolization was done and improved without additional complications. Therefore, the surgeons need to be aware of possible associated vascular injuries caused by displaced lesser trochanter fragments in femoral intertrochanteric fractures.

Purpose: This study was performed to compare the clinical results and radiological follow-up differences between intertrochanteric fractures treated with the U-blade Gamma3 nail or the Zimmer natural nail (ZNN). Materials and Methods: The medical records of 129 cases diagnosed with an intertrochanteric fracture (90 cases of U-blade Gamma3 nail, 39 cases of ZNN) from July 2015 to December 2018 were reviewed. Patients were assigned to a U-blade Gamma3 nail (n=39) or a ZNN (n=39) group. To reduce selective bias, groups were subjected to Propensity score matching by age, body mass index, bone mineral density, and fracture type. Patients that met the following criteria were excluded; age < 65 years, non-ambulatory, high energy or pathologic fracture, and a follow-up of < 6 months. Operation times, estimated blood losses, preoperative and postoperative Koval grades, Harris hip score and radiological lag screw positions in the femoral head, reduction quality, cut-out, tip-apex distance (TAD), lag screw sliding distances, and times to union were compared. Results: Clinical results were similar in the two groups, but lag screw TAD was significantly greater in U-blade Gamma3 nail group (23.4 mm vs. 21.0 mm) (p=0.042). One case of cut-out occurred in the U-blade Gamma3 nail group, but no other nail-related postoperative complication was noted. Conclusion: No significant difference was observed between the outcomes of U-blade Gamma3 nail or ZNN treatments of intertrochanteric fractures. We conclude that the U-blade confers no specific advan -tage.
目的:本研究比较u型Gamma3钉与Zimmer自然钉(ZNN)治疗股骨粗隆间骨折的临床结果和影像学随访差异。材料与方法:回顾性分析2015年7月至2018年12月收治的129例股骨粗隆间骨折病例(u型Gamma3钉90例，ZNN钉39例)的临床资料。患者被分配到u型Gamma3指甲组(n=39)或ZNN组(n=39)。为了减少选择性偏倚，对各组进行年龄、体重指数、骨密度和骨折类型的倾向评分匹配。符合以下标准的患者被排除在外;年龄< 65岁，非活动，高能量或病理性骨折，随访时间< 6个月。比较手术时间、估计出血量、术前和术后Koval评分、Harris髋关节评分和股骨头内固定螺钉的放射学位置、复位质量、切口、尖端-尖端距离(TAD)、固定螺钉滑动距离和愈合时间。结果:两组临床结果相似，但u型刀片Gamma3钉组lag螺钉TAD明显大于对照组(23.4 mm vs. 21.0 mm) (p=0.042)。u型刀片Gamma3组出现1例切口，无其他术后并发症。结论:u型刀片Gamma3钉与ZNN治疗粗隆间骨折疗效无显著差异。我们得出结论，u型叶片没有特别的优势。

Purpose: This study examined the effect of lag screw insertion on proximal fragments by separating the right and left sides of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients that underwent intramedullary nailing. Materials and Methods: Patients aged ≥65 years that underwent intramedullary nailing after a diag nosis of intertrochanteric fractures during the period February 2012 to May 2016 were included in the study. The subjects were divided into right and left side groups. The effect of the clockwise rotational force generated when a lag screw was inserted on the proximal fragment was evaluated in both groups. Results: In the right and left groups, most proximal fragments were located in the intramedullary canal after surgery (45 cases [75.0%] and 67 cases [73.6%], respectively). Clockwise rotation due to lag screw placement in the right group occurred in two cases (3.3%), which both showed internal rotation, and in four cases (4.4%) in the left group, all of which showed external rotation. Conclusion: After intramedullary nailing of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients, proximal fragments were mostly located in the intramedullary cavity. The results obtained confirmed that the clockwise rotational force generated by lag screw insertion did not affect left or right sides.

Financial support: None. Conflict of interests: None. Fractures around the wrist are the third most common fracture among all pediatric fractures. Furthermore, distal radius fractures, a type of wrist fracture, are the most common fractures in children. Understanding pediatric fractures around the wrist is very important considering their prevalence. There is a specific belief that pediatric fractures can heal easily because of remodeling, but not all fractures can heal without proper treatment. Complications such as growth problems, nonunion can occur if the fracture is not treated properly. This paper reviewed recent articles about distal radius fractures, Galeazzi-equivalent fractures, and carpal bone fractures, including scaphoid fractures in children and adolescents. Successful treatment can be achieved without complications when an accurate diagnosis and proper non-surgical or surgical treatment are performed based on this article.
