Dear Pediatric Orthopedists, I'm seeking guidance on the management of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures, specifically regarding the decision-making process for when to manage non-operatively versus when to refer for surgical fixation in Yemeni hospitals. What are the critical radiographic signs or clinical parameters that tip the balance towards intervention? Any tips for closed reduction techniques in challenging cases? Thank you for your insights.

The new guidelines for osteoporosis screening are excellent. We've started implementing universal screening for women over 65 and post-menopausal women with risk factors, leading to earlier diagnosis and initiation of treatment, hopefully reducing fragility fractures, which are a growing concern in Yemen.
