Comparative StudyComparison of Less Invasive Stabilization System Plate and Retrograde Intramedullary Nail in the Fixation of Femoral Supracondylar Fractures in the Elderly: A Biomechanical Study.
To compare the biomechanical stabilities of less invasive stabilization system (LISS) plate and retrograde intramedullary nail (IMN) for the comminuted femoral supracondylar fracture fractures in the elderly. ⋯ For comminuted femoral supracondylar fractures in the elderly, the tested instruments can both maintain sufficient biomechanical stabilities, but retrograde IMN is superior to LISS plate in deformation of fracture site.

Intramedullary Nail Fixation Assisted by Orthopaedic Robot Navigation for Intertrochanteric Fractures in Elderly Patients.
To compare the clinical efficacy of intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric fractures assisted by orthopaedic robot navigation and the traditional intramedullary nail fixation in elderly patients, and to investigate the application advantages of intramedullary nail fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fractures assisted by orthopaedic robot navigation in the elderly. ⋯ Intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric fractures assisted by orthopaedic robot navigation in elderly patients is an ideal method, offering a short operation time, minimal surgical trauma, less radiation, and good recovery of hip function.

Efficacy of Jintiange Capsules in the Treatment of Osteoporosis: A Network Meta-analysis.
To evaluate the efficacy of Jintiange capsules and Jintiange combined with other therapies in the treatment of osteoporosis. ⋯ Jintiange capsules alone and combined with other therapies is a good choice for treating patients with osteoporosis in terms of improving BMD, relieving pain, and reducing adverse events. More large-scale and well-designed RCT are warranted to confirm the results of this study.
