Treatment of the distal radius fractures with percutaneous pinning: evolution to the HK2 system.
Displaced fractures of the distal radius often require reduction and fixation to improve outcome in active patients. The volar locking plate gained ground over pinning, which was the first surgical solution described. ⋯ The results are satisfactory with a lower complication rate compared to other pinning methods. This technical improvement relaunches the pinning technique, with its two advantages, being faster and significantly cheaper than locking plates, with similar long-term functional results.

Restoration of proximal periprosthetic bone loss by denosumab in cementless total hip arthroplasty.
Denosumab contributed to the restoration of proximal periprosthetic bone loss around the femoral stem that were measured using a DEXA, especially in zone 7, at 1 year after cementless THA in elderly osteoporotic patients.
