Prevalence and risk factors of radial ray deficiencies: A population-based case-control study
<p>Radial ray deficiency is the most common congenital deficiency of the upper limb. The aim of our study was to investigate maternal risk factors for radial ray deficiencies. We conducted a nationwide population-based case-control study using national registers. All cases with a radial ray deficiency born between 1996 and 2008 were included in the study and compared with five controls without limb deficiency. In total, 115 (10 isolated, 18 with multiple congenital anomalies, and 87 syndromic) cases with radial ray deficiencies were identified and compared with 575 matched controls. The total prevalence in Finland was 1.22 per 10,000 births. No significant risk factors were observed for nonsyndromic cases. In the syndromic group, advanced maternal age (>= 35 years) increased the risk of radial aplasia (aOR 2.45, 95% CI 1.37-4.36), and a similar association was observed with multiple pregnancy (aOR 2.97, 1.16-7.62) and male sex (aOR 1.96, 1.18-3.25). Valproic acid was also a risk factor (p = .002). In conclusion, novel associations in the syndromic group of advanced maternal age and multiple pregnancy and increased risk of radial ray deficiencies were observed. Also, early reports on increased risk of RRD associated with valproate and male sex were supported by our results.</p>...

Volumetric Bone Mineral Density in Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty in Postmenopausal Women: Effects on Primary Femoral Stem Stability and Clinical Recovery
<p>Abstract</p><p>Background<br>In cementless total hip arthroplasty, femoral stems should preferably not migrate at all postoperatively. This goal is difficult to achieve in postmenopausal women with impaired bone quality. ...
