Disease-modifying treatments for osteoarthritis (DMOADs) of the knee and hip: lessons learned from failures and opportunities for the future

TL;DR: This review of several ambitious but failed attempts to develop joint structure-modifying treatments for OA suggests that these failures arose from unrealistic hypotheses, sub-optimal selection of patient populations or drug dose, and/or inadequate sensitivity of the trial endpoints.

A systematic review of hip fracture incidence and probability of fracture worldwide

TL;DR: Worldwide, there are marked variations in hip fracture rates and in the 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fractures that cannot be explained by the often multiple sources of error in the ascertainment of cases or the catchment population.
