ReviewThe epidemiology of osteoporosis, associated fragility fractures, and management gap in China.
Osteoporosis has been one of the most common but largely under-diagnosed clinical problems among elderly population. The disease burden is even greater in China because of limited medical resources and large population size. This article is aimed to provide an overview of disease burden, secular trend, and management gap of osteoporosis and related fractures in China. ⋯ Due to its silent nature, osteoporosis and its related fractures remain largely under-diagnosed and under-managed in China. It also highlights the scarcity of high-quality studies specifically focus on longtime documentation of disease burden change and male population, especially in mainland area.

The Dutch Hip Fracture Audit: evaluation of the quality of multidisciplinary hip fracture care in the Netherlands.
The nationwide Dutch Hip Fracture Audit (DHFA) is initiated to improve the quality of hip fracture care by providing insight into the actual quality of hip fracture care in daily practice. The baseline results demonstrate variance in practice, providing potential starting points to improve the quality of care.

Meta AnalysisChanges in femoral bone mineral density after total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Bone loss after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may lead to periprosthetic fractures that are associated with significant costs (morbidity, economic, etc.) and pose a challenge to operative fixation. This meta-analysis quantifies the change in bone mineral density (BMD) of the distal femur after primary TKA. ⋯ Therapeutic Level II.

Bone mineral density, vitamin D status, and calcium intake in healthy female university students from different socioeconomic groups in Turkey.
Peak bone mass is reached in late adolescence. Low peak bone mass is a well recognized risk factor for osteoporosis later in life. Our data do not support a link between vitamin D status, bone mineral density (BMD), and socioeconomic status (SES). However, there was a marked inadequacy of daily calcium intake and a high presence of osteopenia in females with low SES.
