🚩 Free to read until Jan. 31: "Despite its limitations, we believe that surgeons can use the Japanese Investigation Committee for its original intended purposes—to assess the size and location of precollapse ONFH lesions—with reasonable confidence," write Amelia Leopold & Nicholas Hernandez in , "but they should be mindful when pairing it with a staging system to assess collapse because those staging systems in general lack sufficient interobserver reliability to be trustworthy."

In , Reetz et al. found that while patients who underwent single-stage surgery for a bone-anchored prosthesis were more likely to experience a serious infection, their functional outcomes at the 2-year mark were better than those in the two-stage surgery group.

"In our opinion, our data suggest that one-stage BAP gives possibly better functional and HRQoL improvements and comparable frequencies of adverse events with fewer scheduled surgeries for the patient," the authors write.

"This study represents a paradigm shift in the world of BAP technology," writes Daniel C. Allison MD, MBA, FACS in a commentary. "No longer are we merely inquiring whether the technology is viable or reasonable; now researchers are investigating nuances and technical options of the procedure, specifically the decision to perform the procedure in a single stage instead of two."

"It is estimated that over 25,000 deaths caused by falls could be prevented annually by improving prescribing practices of fall risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs)," writes Dr. James Rickert in . "The American Geriatric Society has recommended these medications be avoided in adults aged 65 and older whenever possible since 2011, yet they continue to be prescribed to this age group at alarming rates."

He was engaged in his care, asked thoughtful questions, and was grateful for our help," writes Dr. Lisa Friedman in the latest . "It was hard for me to reconcile the pleasant person in front of me with the understanding that someone had purposefully tried to seriously injure or kill him."

In , Broekman et al. found that adults with hip pain and less healthy mindsets experienced faster declines in comfort and capability over a 10-year period, despite similar arthritis severity.

"It is notable that the participants with the healthiest mindsets experienced a decrease in pain intensity over time despite osteoarthritis progression," the authors write.

"By showing that hip OA symptoms can be accommodated and that psychological resilience may have a greater correlation with this condition than radiographic disease severity, Broekman and colleagues challenge the conventional pathophysiologic paradigm," writes David S. Jevsevar MD, MBA, FAAOS in a commentary.

In this retrospective analysis in adolescents, Loewen et al. found that squatting can be used as a clinical tool to quickly assess a patient's abilities before and after surgical treatment for FAI, allowing for a practical and time-efficient method to monitor recovery of hip mobility and functional performance.

In , Shimozono et al. found that lowering the threshold for statistical significance from p < 0.05 to 0.005 in foot and ankle RCTs would mean 52% of previously significant endpoints would be reclassified as having “suggestive” or no-difference findings.

"While this could improve the credibility and reproducibility of findings, it would also require trials to enroll substantially more participants," the authors write. "We advocate for a context-dependent approach to statistical inference, where researchers adapt significance levels based on the research question, intervention stakes, and existing evidence."

"In other words, if a contention appears to be more of a long-shot based on what is already known, it should take a lower (stricter) p value to alleviate a reader’s skepticism," writes Seth Leopold MD in the Editor's Spotlight/Take 5 with senior author, Yoshiharu Shimozono MD, PhD. "This type of 'Bayes Through the Back Door' approach reflects what clinicians do in practice every day anyway."

🚩 Free to read all month: "I recently received an email from someone I didn’t know, but the last name piqued my interest. Turns out that Ben was the grandson of my first and most important mentor in medicine, John J. Monahan MD (1931-2001)," writes senior editor, Mark Gebhardt MD. "I would soon learn that Ben had never met his grandfather, nor did he have physicians in his immediate family. And since he wanted to become a physician, Ben wanted to learn what his grandfather was like as an orthopaedic surgeon—from me."
