Abstract: Background: Delirium is thought to be common across various settings of care; however, still little research has been conducted in rehabilitation. Aim: We investigated the prevalence of delirium, its features and motor subtypes in older patients admitted to rehabilitation facilities during the three editions of the “Delirium Day project”. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 1237 older patients (age ≥ 65 years old) admitted to 50 Italian rehabilitation wards during the three editions of the “Delirium Day project” (2015 to 2017) were included. Delirium was evaluated through the 4AT and its motor subtype with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale. Results: Delirium was detected in 226 patients (18%), and the most recurrent motor subtype was mixed (37%), followed by hypoactive (26%), hyperactive (21%) and non-motor one (16%). In a multivariate Poisson regression model with robust variance, factors associated with delirium were: disability in basic (PR 1.48, 95%CI: 1.17–1.9, p value 0.001) and instrumental activities of daily living (PR 1.58, 95%CI: 1.08–2.32, p value 0.018), dementia (PR 2.10, 95%CI: 1.62–2.73, p value < 0.0001), typical antipsychotics (PR 1.47, 95%CI: 1.10–1.95, p value 0.008), antidepressants other than selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (PR 1.3, 95%CI: 1.02–1.66, p value 0.035), and physical restraints (PR 2.37, 95%CI: 1.68–3.36, p value < 0.0001). Conclusion: This multicenter study reports that 2 out 10 patients admitted to rehabilitations had delirium on the index day. Mixed delirium was the most prevalent subtype. Delirium was associated with unmodifiable (dementia, disability) and modifiable (physical restraints, medications) factors. Identification of these factors should prompt specific interventions aimed to prevent or mitigate delirium.

Abstract: Background: Delirium is thought to be common across various settings of care; however, still little research has been conducted in rehabilitation. Aim: We investigated the prevalence of delirium, its features and motor subtypes in older patients admitted to rehabilitation facilities during the three editions of the “Delirium Day project”. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 1237 older patients (age ≥ 65 years old) admitted to 50 Italian rehabilitation wards during the three editions of the “Delirium Day project” (2015 to 2017) were included. Delirium was evaluated through the 4AT and its motor subtype with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale. Results: Delirium was detected in 226 patients (18%), and the most recurrent motor subtype was mixed (37%), followed by hypoactive (26%), hyperactive (21%) and non-motor one (16%). In a multivariate Poisson regression model with robust variance, factors associated with delirium were: disability in basic (PR 1.48, 95%CI: 1.17–1.9, p value 0.001) and instrumental activities of daily living (PR 1.58, 95%CI: 1.08–2.32, p value 0.018), dementia (PR 2.10, 95%CI: 1.62–2.73, p value < 0.0001), typical antipsychotics (PR 1.47, 95%CI: 1.10–1.95, p value 0.008), antidepressants other than selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (PR 1.3, 95%CI: 1.02–1.66, p value 0.035), and physical restraints (PR 2.37, 95%CI: 1.68–3.36, p value < 0.0001). Conclusion: This multicenter study reports that 2 out 10 patients admitted to rehabilitations had delirium on the index day. Mixed delirium was the most prevalent subtype. Delirium was associated with unmodifiable (dementia, disability) and modifiable (physical restraints, medications) factors. Identification of these factors should prompt specific interventions aimed to prevent or mitigate delirium.

Abstract: Introduction Delirium and sarcopenia are common, although underdiagnosed, geriatric syndromes. Several pathological mechanisms can link delirium and low skeletal muscle mass, but few studies have investigated their association. We aimed to investigate (1) the association between delirium and low skeletal muscle mass and (2) the possible role of calf circumference mass in finding cases with delirium. Methods The analyses were conducted employing the cross-sectional “Delirium Day” initiative, on patient 65 years and older admitted to acute hospital medical wards, emergency departments, rehabilitation wards, nursing homes and hospices in Italy in 2017. Delirium was diagnosed as a 4 + score at the 4-AT scale. Low skeletal muscle mass was operationally defined as calf circumference ≤ 34 cm in males and ≤ 33 cm in females. Logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between low skeletal muscle mass and delirium. The discriminative ability of calf circumference was evaluated using non-parametric ROC analyses. Results A sample of 1675 patients was analyzed. In total, 73.6% of participants had low skeletal muscle mass and 24.1% exhibited delirium. Low skeletal muscle mass and delirium showed an independent association (OR: 1.50; 95% CI 1.09–2.08). In the subsample of patients without a diagnosis of dementia, the inclusion of calf circumference in a model based on age and sex significantly improved its discriminative accuracy [area under the curve (AUC) 0.69 vs 0.57, p Discussion and conclusion Low muscle mass is independently associated with delirium. In patients without a previous diagnosis of dementia, calf circumference may help to better identify those who develop delirium.

Abstract: Objectives Delirium is commonly seen in older adults with multimorbidity, during a hospitalization, resulting from the interplay between predisposing factors such as advanced age, frailty, and dementia, and a series of precipitating factors. The association between delirium and specific multimorbidity is largely unexplored so far although of potential key relevance for targeted interventions. The aim of the study was to check for a potential association of multimorbidity with delirium in a large cohort of older patients hospitalized for an acute medical or surgical condition. Design This is a cross-sectional study nested in the 2017 Delirium Day project. Setting and Participants The study includes 1829 hospitalized patients (age: 81.8, SD: 5.5). Of them, 419 (22.9%) had delirium. Methods Sociodemographic and medical history were collected. The 4AT was used to assess the presence of delirium. The Charlson Comorbidity index was used to assess multimorbidity. Results The results identified neurosensorial multimorbidity as the most prevalent, including patients with dementia, cerebrovascular diseases, and sensory impairments. In light of the highest co-occurrence of 3 neurosensorial chronic conditions, we could hypothesize that a baseline altered brain functional and neural connectivity might determine the vulnerability signature for incipient overall system disruption in presence of acute insults. Conclusions and Implications Eventually, our findings moved a step forward in supporting the key importance of routine screening for sensory impairments and cognitive status of older patients for the highest risk of in-hospital delirium. In fact, preventive interventions could be particularly relevant and effective in preventing delirium in such vulnerable populations and might help refining this early diagnosis.

Abstract: Background although frailty and delirium are among the most frequent and burdensome geriatric syndromes, little is known about their association and impact on short-term mortality. Objective to examine, in hospitalized older persons, whether frailty is associated with delirium, and whether these two conditions, alone or in combination, affect these patients’ 30-day survival. Design observational study nested in the Delirium Day project, with 30-day follow-up. Setting acute medical wards (n = 118) and rehabilitation wards (n = 46) in Italy. Subjects a total of 2,065 individuals aged 65+ years hospitalized in acute medical (1,484 patients, 71.9%) or rehabilitation (581 patients, 28.1%) wards. Methods a 25-item Frailty Index (FI) was created. Delirium was assessed using the 4AT test. Vital status was ascertained at 30 days. Results overall, 469 (22.7%) patients experienced delirium on the index day and 82 (4.0%) died during follow-up. After adjustment for potential confounders, each FI score increase of 0.1 significantly increased the odds of delirium (odds ratio, OR: 1.66 [95% CI: 1.45–1.90]), with no difference between the acute (OR: 1.65 [95% CI: 1.41–1.93]) and rehabilitation ward patients (OR: 1.71 [95% CI: 1.27–2.30]). The risk of dying during follow-up also increased significantly for every FI increase of 0.1 in the overall population (OR: 1.65 [95% CI: 1.33–2.05]) and in the acute medical ward patients (OR: 1.61 [95% CI: 1.28–2.04]), but not in the rehabilitation patients. Delirium was not significantly associated with 30-day mortality in either hospital setting. Conclusions in hospitalized older patients, frailty is associated with delirium and with an increased risk of short-term mortality.

Abstract: Background: Health outcomes of older subjects with hip fracture (HF) may be negatively influenced by multiple comorbidities and frailty. An integrated multidisciplinary approach (i.e. the orthogeriatric model) is, therefore, highly recommended, but its implementation in clinical practice suffers from the lack of shared management protocols and poor awareness of the problem. The present consensus document has been implemented to address these issues. Aim: To develop evidence-based recommendations for the orthogeriatric co-management of older subjects with HF. Methods: A 20-member Expert Task Force of geriatricians, orthopaedics, anaesthesiologists, physiatrists, physiotherapists and general practitioners was established to develop evidence-based recommendations for the pre-, peri-, intra- and postoperative care of older in-patients (≥ 65 years) with HF. A modified Delphi approach was used to achieve consensus, and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force system was used to rate the strength of recommendations and the quality of evidence. Results: A total of 120 recommendations were proposed, covering 32 clinical topics and concerning preoperative evaluation (11 topics), perioperative (8 topics) and intraoperative (3 topics) management, and postoperative care (10 topics). Conclusion: These recommendations should ease and promote the multidisciplinary management of older subjects with HF by integrating the expertise of different specialists. By providing a convenient list of topics of interest, they might assist in identifying unmet needs and research priorities.

13. Interactive Exploration Of Musical Space With Parametric T-Sne

Author: Matteo Lionello, Pietrogrande, L., Purwins, H., Abou-Zleikha, M., Anastasia Georgaki, and Areti Andreopoulou
Abstract: This paper presents a user interface for the exploration of music libraries based on parametric t-SNE. Each song in the music library is represented as a stack of 34-dimensional vectors containing features related to genres, emotions and other musical characteristics. Parametric t-SNE is used to construct a model that extracts a pair of coordinates from these features for each song, preserving similarity rela- tions between songs in the high dimensional-feature space and their projection in a two-dimensional space. The two-dimensional output of the model will be used for projecting and rendering a song catalogue onto a plane. We have investigated different models, which have been obtained by using different structures of hidden layers, pre-training technique, features selection, and data pre-processing. These results are an extension of a previous project published by Moodagent Company, which show that the clustering adaptation of genres and emotions, that is obtained by using parametric t-SNE, is by far more accurate than the previous methods based on PCA. Finally, our study proposes a visual representation of the resulting model. The model has been used to build a music-space of 20000 songs, visually rendered for browser interaction. This provides the user with a certain degree of freedom to explore the music-space by changing the highlighted features and it offers an immersive experience for music exploration and playlist generation.

Abstract: Objective To estimate the proportion of patients with very severe osteoporosis (those covered by the reimbursement criteria of the Italian National Health Service) experiencing new vertebral and non-vertebral fragility fractures in the first 24 months of a new anti-osteoporosis treatment. Methods Prospective observational study in men and post-menopausal women (aged > 21 years) initiating anti-osteoporosis treatment for very severe osteoporosis. Eligibility was based on teriparatide (TPD) reimbursement criteria in Italy: Incident of vertebral or hip fracture during anti-resorptive treatment (minimum 1 year), or at least three prevalent severe vertebral fractures, or two prevalent severe vertebral fractures and a historical proximal hip fracture. Incidence of new clinical vertebral and non-vertebral fractures was documented by original x-rays and/or radiological reports, and a post-hoc analysis compared data from the TPD monotherapy population versus the total treated group. Results Overall, 767 patients (mean age 72.8 years, 90.7% women) were enrolled in the study, of whom 628, 538, 419 and 424 attended visits at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months, respectively. The most commonly prescribed therapy was TPD (single-agent; 64.5%), then bisphosphonates and other anti-resorptives (33.3%). A combination of different oral treatments was given to 22.5% of the patients. Overall treatment adherence at 24 months was 65.7%. In a post-hoc analysis, the overall incidence of new clinical vertebral and non-vertebral fractures in the total treated population was, respectively, 4.7% and 2.3% in the first 6 months; 1.8% and 1.6% in the 6-12 month period; 2.9% and 1.4% in the 12-18 month period; and 2.2% and 1.0% in the 18-24 month period. Conclusion In patients with very severe osteoporosis, the risk of new vertebral and non-vertebral fractures declined after the first 6 months and remained low throughout the study.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Baseline characteristics of the population enrolled in the ISSO study, designed to evaluate the incidence of vertebral and non-vertebral fractures in Italian patients with severe osteoporosis treated according to clinical practice over 24 months observation. METHODS: Prospective observational study in 783 post-menopausal women and men entering 18-month treatment with teriparatide in a community setting at 57 centres in Italy. Characterisation included demographics, fracture risk factors, bone mineral density, fracture status, Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) measured by the European Quality of Life Questionnaire, EQ-5D, and back pain assessed by VAS. RESULTS: Most patients were elderly women (90.5%), mean age±SD was 72.9±8.8 years. Nearly all (91.3%) had experienced ≥ 1 vertebral fracture (mean±SD, 3.6±2.2 per patient), 37.5% had ≥ 1 non-vertebral fracture (mean±SD, 1.4±0.7 per patient). Nearly all patients were suffering from back pain (94.9%), which had significantly restricted their daily activities (51.7%) and had likely or very likely been caused by vertebral fractures (29.2% and 55.8%, respectively). Mean EuroQoL EQ-5D index value was 0.58±0.25 and VAS score 49.2±23.6. Non-vertebral fractures, back pain and multiple vertebral fractures were associated with lower HRQoL (EuroQoL-5D Index both p

Abstract: Background: Health outcomes of older subjects with hip fracture (HF) may be negatively influenced by multiple comorbidities and frailty. An integrated multidisciplinary approach (i.e. the orthogeriatric model) is, therefore, highly recommended, but its implementation in clinical practice suffers from the lack of shared management protocols and poor awareness of the problem. The present consensus document has been implemented to address these issues. Aim: To develop evidence-based recommendations for the orthogeriatric co-management of older subjects with HF. Methods: A 20-member Expert Task Force of geriatricians, orthopaedics, anaesthesiologists, physiatrists, physiotherapists and general practitioners was established to develop evidence-based recommendations for the pre-, peri-, intra- and postoperative care of older in-patients (≥ 65 years) with HF. A modified Delphi approach was used to achieve consensus, and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force system was used to rate the strength of recommendations and the quality of evidence. Results: A total of 120 recommendations were proposed, covering 32 clinical topics and concerning preoperative evaluation (11 topics), perioperative (8 topics) and intraoperative (3 topics) management, and postoperative care (10 topics). Conclusion: These recommendations should ease and promote the multidisciplinary management of older subjects with HF by integrating the expertise of different specialists. By providing a convenient list of topics of interest, they might assist in identifying unmet needs and research priorities.

Abstract: Background: Congenital anomalies of the knee are a spectrum of rare disorders with wide clinical and genetic variability, which are mainly due to the complex processes underlying knee development. Despite progresses in understanding pathomechanisms and associated genes, many patients remain undiagnosed., Objective: To uncover the genetic bases of a congenital patellar dislocation affecting multiple family members with variable severity., Methods: We performed ES in the proband and his father, both showing bilateral patellar dislocation, his sister with a milder similar condition, and his unaffected mother. Sanger sequencing was then performed in the proband's brother and paternal aunt, both affected as well., Results: ES and Sanger sequencing identified the presence of the novel heterozygous frameshift mutation c.735delT in the TBX4 gene in all affected family members. TBX4 is associated with autosomal dominant ischio-coxo-podo-patellar syndrome with/without pulmonary arterial hypertension (ICPPS, #147891), reaching a diagnosis in the family. Intrafamilial clinical heterogeneity suggests that other factors might be involved, such as additional variants in TBX4 or in other modifier genes. Interestingly, we identified three additional variants in the TBX4 gene in the proband only, whose phenotype is more severe. Despite being classified as benign, one of these variants is predicted to disrupt a splicing protein binding site, and may therefore affect TBX4 alternative splicing, accounting for the more severe phenotype of the proband., Conclusion: We expand and further delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of ICPPS. Further studies are necessary to shed light on the potential effect of this variant and on the variable phenotypic expressivity of TBX4-related phenotypes., (© 2024.

Abstract: Background: Capacitively coupling electric fields (CCEF) is a method of non-invasive biophysical stimulation that enhances fracture repair and spinal fusion. This multicentre randomized controlled trial aimed to further examine the roles of CCEF in (1) the resolution of vertebral bone marrow oedema (VBME) using a follow-up MRI study and (2) pain relief, analgesic drug consumption and quality of life improvement in stimulated patients who were referred with acute vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs) compared to non-stimulated patients., Methods: Between September 2016 and December 2019, patients who were referred to the spine centres that participated in this multicentre randomized clinical study with acute VFFs of type OF1 or OF2 were included in the present study. All the VFFs were conservatively managed according to Good Clinical Practice. Moreover, the patients were randomized into two groups: the CCEF group received, as an adjunct to the clinical study protocol, biophysical stimulation with a CCEF device (Osteospine, IGEA) for 8 h per day for 60 days, whereas the control group was treated according to the clinical study protocol. At baseline (T0), the 30-day follow-up (T1), the 60-day follow-up (T2), and the 6-month follow-up (T3), each patient underwent clinical evaluation using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for Pain and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Analgesic therapy with paracetamol 1000 mg tablets for 7 days-or longer, depending on the pain intensity-was performed; patients were required to report their paracetamol consumption on a specific sheet between study day 8 to 180 days of follow-up. MRI studies of the thoracolumbar spine were performed at 0 (T0), 30 (T1) and 60 days of follow-up (T2) using a 1.5-T MRI system in all of the centres that took part in the study. For each VBME area examined via MRI, the vertebral body geometry (i.e. anterior wall height/posterior wall height and vertebral kyphosis) were assessed., Results: A total of 66 patients (male: 9, 13.63%; mean age: 73.15 years old) with 69 VFFs were included in the present study and randomized as follows: 33 patients were included in the control group and the remaining 33 patients were randomized into the CCEF group. In the CCEF group, good compliance with CCEF therapy was observed (adherence = 94%), and no adverse effects were recorded. In the stimulated patients, faster VBME resolution and significantly less vertebral body collapse during follow-up were observed compared to the control patients. Moreover, in the active group, faster pain reduction and improvement in the ODI mean score were observed. Stimulated patients also reported a significantly lower paracetamol consumption rate from the third follow-up after treatment until the 6-month follow-up. In terms of sex-related differences, in the CCEF group, VBME showed a faster resolution in male patients compared with females., Conclusion: Biophysical stimulation with CCEF, as an adjunct to traditional conservative treatment, is a useful tool to hasten the VBME resolution process and prevent vertebral body deformation. These MRI findings also correlate with faster back pain resolution and quality of life improvement. From the third follow-up after treatment until the 6-month follow-up, stimulated patients reported a significantly lower paracetamol consumption than control patients, even though back pain and quality of life showed no significant differences between the two groups., Level of Evidence: II.

Abstract: Despite the mechanization process implemented in arboriculture, logging tasks are still manually performed by chainsaw operators, which therefore are exposed to the risk of developing hand-wrist musculoskeletal disorders. Our research aimed to: (a) define whether the slight changes observed in 2017 showed an evolution to overt diseases; (b) study some risk determinants for these diseases such as age, working experience, and performing a secondary job. We recruited in a two-year follow-up study, 38 male forestry workers performing logging tasks employed in the Sicilian Forestry Department located in Enna. All the subjects underwent: (1) personal data collection; (2) administration of questionnaire addressed at upper limbs symptoms with a hand chart; (3) physical examination of the upper limbs, including Tinel's and Phalen's maneuvers; (4) ultrasound investigation of the hand-wrist area. In the two-year follow-up study we registered an overall increasing in wrist disorders, thus we can assume that forestry workers may be a target population for wrist diseases and deserve a particular attention in workers' health surveillance programs. Interestingly, the prevalence of wrist-hand disorders resulted to be higher in younger workers.

Abstract: In March 2020, northern Italy became the second country worldwide most affected by Covid-19 and the death toll overtook that in China. Hospital staff soon realized that Covid-19 was far more severe than expected from the few data available at that time. The Covid-19 pandemic forced hospitals to adjust to rapidly changing circumstances. We report our experience in a general teaching hospital in Milan, the capital of Lombardy, the most affected area in Italy. First, we briefly describe Lombardy's regional Covid-19-related health organizational changes as well as general hospital reorganization. We also provide a multidisciplinary report of the main clinical, radiological and pathological Covid-19 findings we observed in our patients., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.

Abstract: Introduction: Biophysical stimulation is a non-invasive therapy used in orthopaedic practice to increase and enhance reparative and anabolic activities of tissue., Methods: A sistematic web-based search for papers was conducted using the following titles: (1) pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF), capacitively coupled electrical field (CCEF), low intensity pulsed ultrasound system (LIPUS) and biophysical stimulation; (2) bone cells, bone tissue, fracture, non-union, prosthesis and vertebral fracture; and (3) chondrocyte, synoviocytes, joint chondroprotection, arthroscopy and knee arthroplasty., Results: Pre-clinical studies have shown that the site of interaction of biophysical stimuli is the cell membrane. Its effect on bone tissue is to increase proliferation, synthesis and release of growth factors. On articular cells, it creates a strong A 2A and A 3 adenosine-agonist effect inducing an anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective result. In treated animals, it has been shown that the mineralisation rate of newly formed bone is almost doubled, the progression of the osteoarthritic cartilage degeneration is inhibited and quality of cartilage is preserved. Biophysical stimulation has been used in the clinical setting to promote the healing of fractures and non-unions. It has been successfully used on joint pathologies for its beneficial effect on improving function in early OA and after knee surgery to limit the inflammation of periarticular tissues., Discussion: The pooled result of the studies in this review revealed the efficacy of biophysical stimulation for bone healing and joint chondroprotection based on proven methodological quality., Conclusion: The orthopaedic community has played a central role in the development and understanding of the importance of the physical stimuli. Biophysical stimulation requires care and precision in use if it is to ensure the success expected of it by physicians and patients.

Abstract: Background: Healing of tibia fractures occurs over a wide time range of months, with a number of risk factors contributing to prolonged healing. In this prospective, multicentre, observational study, we investigated the capability of FRACTING (tibia FRACTure prediction healING days) score, calculated soon after tibia fracture treatment, to predict healing time., Methods: The study included 363 patients. Information on patient health, fracture morphology, and surgical treatment adopted were combined to calculate the FRACTING score. Fractures were considered healed when the patient was able to fully weight-bear without pain., Results: 319 fractures (88%) healed within 12 months from treatment. Forty-four fractures healed after 12 months or underwent a second surgery. FRACTING score positively correlated with days to healing: r = 0.63 ( p < 0.0001). Average score value was 7.3 ± 2.5; ROC analysis showed strong reliability of the score in separating patients healing before versus after 6 months: AUC = 0.823., Conclusions: This study shows that the FRACTING score can be employed both to predict months needed for fracture healing and to identify immediately after treatment patients at risk of prolonged healing. In patients with high score values, new pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments to enhance osteogenesis could be tested selectively, which may finally result in reduced disability time and health cost savings.

Abstract: Background: Vertebral compression fractures occur in the thoracolumbar junction, causing the collapse of the vertebral body. For their treatment, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are used, but it is still unknown which technique is to be preferred., Methods: Finite element models of the thoracic spine were developed to evaluate the outcomes of vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. A mild and severe collapse of T10 treated with vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty was studied. Stresses on the endplates and intradiscal pressures were extrapolated to determine the stress distribution in the adjacent structures., Results: The validation ensured a correct stiffness and a proper kinematic of each functional spinal unit. The results demonstrated that a consolidation following vertebroplasty caused slight variations of intradiscal pressures and stresses. If a kyphoplasty was performed after a mild collapse of the vertebral body, a 25% stress reduction on endplates was found. In cases of severe collapse, when a partial height restoration was achieved, a 15% stress reduction was obtained, while with a full recovery of the anterior wall of the collapsed vertebra, there was a further reduction of 40%., Conclusions: To reduce the stresses on the adjacent endplates and the risk of fracture, the results suggest a kyphoplasty is to be preferred, trying to restore the initial vertebral body height.

Abstract: Multicentric osteolysis, nodulosis and arthropathy (MONA) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. To date, 13 mutations of the matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) gene have been detected in 26 patients with MONA and other osteolytic syndromes. Here, we describe the molecular and functional analysis of a novel MMP2 mutation in two adult Italian siblings with MONA. Both siblings displayed palmar-plantar subcutaneous nodules, tendon retractions, limb arthropathies, osteolysis in the toes and pigmented fibrous skin lesions. Molecular analysis identified a homozygous MMP2 missense mutation in exon 8 c.1228G>C (p.G410R), not detected in 260 controls and predicted by several bioinformatic tools to be pathogenic. By protein modelling, the mutant residue was predicted to affect the main chain conformation of the catalytic domain. Gelatin zymography, the gold standard test for MMP2 function, of serum-free conditioned medium from G410R-MMP2-expressing human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells, showed a complete loss of gelatinolytic activity. The novel mutation is located in the catalytic domain, as are 3 (p.E404K, p.V400del and p.G406D) of the other 13 MMP2 mutations described to date; however, p.G410R underlies a phenotype that is only partially overlapping that of other MMP2 exon 8 mutation carriers. Our results further delineate the complexity of genotype-phenotype correlations in MONA, broaden the repertoire of reported MMP2 mutation and enhance the comprehension of the protein motifs crucial for MMP2 catalytic activity.

50. Conservative treatment of a femoral neck fracture following nail removal.

Author: Legnani C, Dondi A, and Pietrogrande L
Abstract: With increased longevity, the management of fragility fractures in the elderly is becoming more frequent. In particular, hip fractures have considerable importance due to the significant morbidity and mortality. A 67-year-old woman underwent intramedullary nail (IMN) removal inserted for a pertrochanteric fracture that had occurred 20 months earlier. This was indicated due to continuous discomfort related to the protruding apex of the implant over the great trochanter. Due to pain persistence two days after surgery, a computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, documenting a minimally displaced impacted subcapital femoral neck fracture. Conservative management with close radiographic follow-up was conducted. After six months, the patient had returned to previous daily activities and a satisfactory range of motion was achieved without pain on walking. The purpose of our paper is to discuss the decision of removing hardware in the elderly osteoporotic patient and to analyze the possibility to conservatively treat an impacted minimally displaced subcapital fracture occurring after the removal of an IMN inserted previously for the treatment of a trochanteric fracture. In the elderly population with decreased bone quality, the removal of intramedullary implants of the proximal femur should be carefully evaluated, and osteoporotic patients undergoing reduction and fixation of femoral fractures should be encouraged to start antiosteoporotic therapy (bisphosphonate, teriparatide) to reduce the risk of further bone loss. Conservative treatment should be considered for the management of lesser symptomatic minimally displaced impacted fractures, where the inherent stability of the fracture allows rapid healing without further surgical attempts.
