BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Vertebral augmentation (VA)-vertebroplasty (VP) and balloon kyphoplasty (BKP)-treats painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures refractory to conservative care. After 2009 sham-controlled trials, US VA use declined and shifted toward BKP; long-term Korean trends are less defined.

OBJECTIVE
Atypical femoral fracture is rare. We evaluated whether lumbar spine-hip T-score discordance, a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry-derived densitometric phenotype, is enriched among atypical femoral fracture cases compared with controls.
METHODS
PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, KoreaMed, and...
Most core DLS reports linked lower bone quality to mechanical complications, but retrospective design, probable cohort overlap, measure-dependent null findings, and reporting defects make certainty very low.
