Abstract
INTRODUCTION The few studies investigating the relationship between nasal septum deviation (NSD) and maxillary development, using different assessment methods and the age of subjects, reported contradicting results. METHODS The association between NSD and transverse maxillary parameters was analyzed using 141 preorthodontic full-skull cone-beam computed tomography scans (mean age, 27.4 ± 9.01 years). Six maxillary, 2 nasal, and 3 dentoalveolar landmarks were measured. The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to assess intrarater and interrater reliability. The correlation between NSD and transverse maxillary parameters was analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Each transverse maxillary parameter was compared among 3 groups of different degrees of severity using the analysis of variance test. Transverse maxillary parameters were also compared between the more and less deviated nasal septum sides using the independent t test. RESULTS A correlation between deviated septal width and palatal arch depth (r = 0.2, P <0.013) and significant differences in palatal arch depth (P <0.05) among 3 NSD severity groups classified with deviated septal width was noted. There was no correlation between septal deviated angle and transverse maxillary parameters and no significant difference for transverse maxillary parameters among the 3 groups of NSD severity classified by septal deviated angle. No significant difference in transverse maxillary parameters was found when comparing the more and the less deviated sides. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that NSD can affect palatal vault morphology. The magnitude of NSD may be a factor associated with transverse maxillary growth disturbance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemiarthroplasty is a treatment option for femoral neck fractures in patients aged more than 60 years and postoperative dislocation after a posterior approach is not uncommon. The piriformis tendon is one of the structures providing posterior hip stability. However, evidence of piriformis-sparing approach in hemiarthroplasty is unclear regarding a reduced dislocation rate. METHODS Between January 2017 and December 2019, 321 patients underwent a posterior approach in consecutive cohorts for a hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures with the minimum 24 months follow-up time (24-60 months). There were two cohorts: (1) 129 underwent the conventional posterior (CP) approach and (2) 192 underwent the piriformis-sparing (PS) approach. The differences in dislocation rate, postoperative Harris Hip Society at 1 and 2 years and other surgical complications were compared in both groups. RESULTS There were 6 dislocations of 129 (4.7%) underwent the CP approach and 0 dislocation from 192 underwent the PS approach that had posterior hip dislocations (P = .004). In addition, the CP group had a significantly higher mortality rate (14.7% versus 7.3%, P = .031) and lower functional outcomes as assessed by mean Harris Hip Scores at 1 year (73 versus 78, P = .005) and 2 years postoperatively (73 versus 80, P < .001) relative to the PS group. CONCLUSION PS hemiarthroplasty was associated with a lower dislocation and mortality rate. Moreover, this approach gained a superior early to the mid-term functional outcome than the conventional posterior approach in elderly femoral neck fractures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II, prospective cohort study.

Abstract
Typically, intramedullary and extramedullary devices are used to treat elderly with intertrochanteric fractures. The majority of previous research has focused on the association between surgical factors and mechanical failure after internal fixation. There is, however, limited evidence to demonstrate the association between functional outcomes after proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) fixation and the non-surgical factors such as patient's comorbidities. The aim of this study is to determine the predictive factors associated with excellent outcome, as well as to develop an integrated scoring system to predict the outcome after PFNA fixation in elderly patients with an intertrochanteric fracture. A retrospective study was conducted between January 2012 and December 2018. Elderly patients with low-energy intertrochanteric fractures who underwent PFNA fixation and at least a year of follow-up were recruited. Demographics, comorbidities, cognitive status, time to operation, and surgical parameters of the patients were all identified. Excellent and non-excellent outcomes were assessed by Harris Hip Score (HHS) after a one-year follow up. Regression analysis was used to determine the predictors for an excellent functional outcome. A new integrated scoring system (ISSI; Integrate Scoring System in elderly patients with Intertrochanteric fracture) was developed and validated. 450 elderly patients were randomly divided into two cohorts: a development (N = 225) and validation cohorts (N = 225). In this study, age < 85 years, normal weight/overweight, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) < 6, no cognitive impairment, a modified AO/OTA 31A1.3, time to operation < 6 days, and Tip Apex Distance between 20 and 30 mm were significantly associated with an excellent outcome after PFNA fixation. The range of ISSI score was between 0 to 16 and the cut-off score of 13 was found to have the highest discriminatory power to determine the excellent functional outcome where the area of ROC was 0.85. In regards to the validation cohort, the sensitivity and specificity of ISSI score was 69% and 87%, respectively, and the AUC was 0.81. The ISSI score is effortless and practical for orthopedic surgeons for predicting an outcome after PFNA fixation in elderly patients with an intertrochanteric fracture.

Abstract
Background Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most burdensome osteoporotic fractures in the elderly. Chronic kidney disease is associated with sarcopenia, especially in its advanced stages and, thus may impact functional status. Combining an intertrochanteric fracture with advanced CKD may diminish results after surgical fixation. This study aims to distinguish whether CKD affects the result of intertrochanteric fracture fixation in terms of mechanical and functional outcomes. Methods A retrospective study reviews all intertrochanteric fractures treated with PFNA fixation from 2012 to 2018. 445 patients were classified into 5 stages of CKD and divided by eGFR = 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 into CKD and non-CKD group and by eGFR = 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 into advanced CKD and non-advanced CKD group. The primary outcome was one year Harris Hip Score (HHS). Secondary outcomes were medical complications, surgical complications, and a 1-year mortality rate. Results Harris Hip Scores (HHS) were not different between non-CKD and CKD groups (eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73 m2). However, there was a difference between non-advanced CKD and advanced CKD groups (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2) (p < 0.001). Medical complications were not different, except for sepsis in CKD stage 5 compared with stage 1 (p = 0.023). Even though AO/OTA types were more severe in the advanced CKD group, surgical complications and 1-year mortality were not different. Conclusion Advanced stage CKD treated with PFNA fixation is associated with lower functional outcomes at one year. Sepsis is more prone to occur after surgery in CKD stage 5. Level of evidence Level III; Retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
The main objective of this study was to analyze the changes in osteoblast behaviors by two different methods, a simple digital image analysis method and conventional assays. Osteoblast progenitor cells and osteoblasts were treated with alendronate (ALN; a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate). Osteoblast behaviors such as the uptake of ALN, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and mineralized nodule formation were examined. Quantitative assessments were conducted using a publically available ImageJ software along with conventional methods. Furthermore, ImageJ method and conventional assay for mineralized nodule formation were performed simultaneously and were compared in order to demonstrate the reliability of ImageJ analysis. Osteoblast precursors and osteoblasts responded to ALN treatments. The software could identify various colors and allowed for the quantification of staining intensity and area coverage. Both image analysis and conventional assays detected the changes in cell behaviors between treated and untreated samples. For alizarin red S assay, the staining intensity calculated by ImageJ analysis was comparable to the absorbance measured by conventional assay. These findings showed that digital image analysis along with conventional assays could be used for quantitative assessment to evaluate osteoblast alteration by drug treatment. Image analysis method is practical and might be useful for other applications in the field of biology and medical sciences. It could also be employed in a combination with the conventional assays to strengthen the data.
