EDITORIAL:
No matter, neither the etiology neither the ways of treatment not surgical or surgical, the correction of the spinal deformities is appreciated mainly on radiological purely angular measurements as well as morphological as functional on SF36 or Oswestry or
other scores.

Spinal deformities, Radiological, Cobb angle
ABSTRACT:
Despite the evaluation of any spinal deformity must be always done on Morphology, Pain, Function, Self- Image, Psychology, Quality of life…The evaluation of the Cobb angle is considered as the basis of such evaluation pre and post any eventual treatment. Despite its simplicity to use It really measure very incompletely only in 2D, the morphology of the spinal deformities because essentially the horizontal plane
data is missing in most of the classification systems that are clearly 2D measurements,
and practically it measure only the collapsing of the spine.

ABSTRACT:
Background: The treatment of osteoporotic acetabular fractures is complex since techniques of osteosynthesis have poor outcomes in this patient population. There is a trend towards treating patients acutely with a total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). We present a clinical series of osteoporotic acetabular fractures treated acutely with THA and weight bearing as tolerated.

ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Neurogenic heterotopic ossification is the abnormal formation of bone in soft tissues or muscles that occurs after a neurological injury, its cause is still unknown. In the spinal cord injured patient, it has a variable prevalence, which is not known in
our country and some relevant aspect of treatment.

ABSTRACT:
Introduction: The association between obesity, thyroid autoimmunity and bone health is still unclear. Autoimmune thyroid disease with or without thyroid dysfunction has a
significant impact on the quality of life and bone quality.

ABSTRACT:
We compare the numbers of hip fractures presenting in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2012 and 2018. Between these years the age-adjusted annual incidence of hip fracture fell by 4.7% in women, but in increased by1.9% in men. This may reflect the success of fracture prevention in women, but highlights the need for strategies focused on men.

ABSTRACT:
Background: Bilateral patellar tendon rupture is an extremely rare injury in children and adolescents. Predisposing factors include repetitive microtrauma, systemic metabolic or rheumatic diseases, and corticosteroid or fluoroquinolone usage. The coexistence of Osgood-Schlatter disease and patellar tendon rupture has been described very rarely in the literature.
