Ten-year fracture risk predicted by proximal femur Hounsfield units

Bone density measurements using virtual colonoscopy performed for colon cancer screening can provide an early warning sign of patients at potential risk for osteoporosis-related fractures and decreasing HU on CTC may be an earlywarning sign of fracture potential.

Low Revision Rates at 10 years for Metal on Metal Hip Implants in a Military Population.

A retrospective review of patients who underwent MoM total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing (HR) at a military institution from 2006 to 2012 found revision rates of MoM THA and HR in this young, predominantly male population were 2.9% and 5.3%, respectively.

Repeated Noise Exposure Does Not Reach Hazardous Levels During Total Joint Arthroplasty.

Noise exposure in THA and TKA was higher than arthroscopic cases but did not exceed occupational standards; a daily dose percentage of approximately 2% per case indicates that repeated noise exposure likely does not reach hazardous levels in modern arthroplasty practice.

Combat-related acetabular fractures: Outcomes of open versus closed injuries.

A retrospective review of the Department of Defense Trauma Registry into which all US combat-injured patients are enrolled, as well as reviewed local patient medical records, and radiologic studies, found that open acetabular fractures represent a significant challenge in the management of combat-related injuries.

Computed Tomography of the Chest as a Screening Tool for Low Bone Mineral Density.

Thoracic vertebrae HU measurements correlate with a low BMD of the femoral neck as determined by DXA T-scores, and a high sensitivity and negative predictive value was achieved with a screening value of 231 HU.
