Registry-based model predicts hip fracture risk better than current screening
A machine-learning tool built from Swedish national health registry data can predict hip fracture risk with high accuracy without an in-person assessment and identifies far more at-risk individuals than current clinical screening practices, according to a study published Aug. 27 in the journal PLOS Medicine by Kristian Axelsson and Mattias Lorentzon of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and colleagues.

ACL injuries may get an early-warning system through AI and wearable sensors
Using a decade of research across human motion analysis, cadaveric testing (using donated human knees for experiments) and computer modeling, they are developing an AI-powered wearable that could identify risky movement patterns and provide real-time feedback to help athletes avoid injury.

Hip Arthroscopy is Associated With Increased Risk of Total Hip Arthroplasty Failure and Increased Resource Allocation in Middle-Aged Total Hip Arthroplasty Patients
Hip arthroscopy (HA) rates continue to increase. Many HA patients will eventually develop osteoarthritis necessitating total hip arthroplasty (THA). Presently, there is limited, conflicting literature on the correlation between preceding HA and subsequent THA outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of prior HA on subsequent THA revision rates and their resource allocation in middle-aged THA patients (40 to 65 years old).

Is Knee Osteoarthritis an Inevitable Consequence for Athletes after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury?
Behind the technical success of modern ACL surgeries and the effectiveness of “return to sport” protocols lies a reality that the worlds of sports and medicine are only just starting to face: the management of the initial ACL injury with return to sport is not the finish line, but the beginning of a lifelong journey on a different road.
