Today's hip edition explores four diverse topics affecting hip surgery and outcomes. We examine how diabetes medications might protect against osteoarthritis development, review a new prediction model for pneumonia risk in elderly hip fracture patients with stroke history, evaluate fracture risk assessment tools in rheumatoid arthritis, and analyze current evidence on acetabular preparation techniques in hemiarthroplasty.
