Vertebral height loss of fractured vertebrae treated by percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCFs) during follow-up had been reported. Mostly, vertebral h...
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and injuries are among the leading causes of physical disability and chronic pain worldwide, imposing a significant burden on healthcare systems and economies. Effective manage...
To investigate the correlation between abdominal adipose tissue (AAT), psoas muscle fat content, and lumbar vertebral bone mineral density (BMD) in different age and sex groups using quantitative CT(QCT) imaging.
Due to its occult position, complex anatomical structure, and spatial relationships, the causative tumor of Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia (TIO) in the hip region is quite difficult to detect and qualitatively dia...
Primary malignant tumors of the proximal femur in children are rare, and there is no consensus about the optimal reconstruction method for this condition. While methods for biological reconstruction—such as va...
Although percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) is used to treat severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF), the unsatisfactory effect of bone cement reduction and leakage is a concern. In recent years...
Intraarticular (e.g., Hoffa-type) fractures are usually stabilized with titanium screws, which may necessitate later implant removal. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical strength and stabili...
Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) has emerged as an option for the treatment of fractures; however, there is limited literature regarding its application in radius shaft fractures. The purpose of ...
Osteomyelitis involves bone destruction, impaired bone formation, and systemic inflammation. Dexmedetomidine (DXMT) possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties alongside sedative an...
The aging population is experiencing a rising incidence of musculoskeletal problems and degenerative spinal deformities. Adult spinal deformity (ASD) presents challenges, with associated risks in open surgery....
Previous research has demonstrated impaired proprioception and poorer responses to tactile deep pressure, visual-tactile integration, and vestibular stimuli in individuals with generalized hypermobility, poten...
In recent years, an increase in surgeries to treat clavicle injuries has been reported. It has been hypothesized that the studies regarding the beneficial effect of surgery in patients with displaced clavicle ...
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a chronic, disabling condition without a definitive cure, and current management strategies prioritize symptom relief and slowing disease progression rather than addressing the und...
Gas-containing lumbar disc cysts (LDCs) are a rare spinal pathology that frequently manifest as sciatica and exhibit clinical features akin to those observed in lumbar disc herniation. Their radiological prese...
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating condition that manifests as knee pain and dysfunction. Clinicians prefer non-surgical options such as intra-articular injections for mild to moderate disease. Dextros...
To characterize the association between metformin use and risk of total joint replacement in patients with diabetes using data from Alberta’s Tomorrow Project (ATP), a population-based cohort study of chronic ...
The burden of osteoarthritis (OA) in multiple joints is high. For patients with bilateral knee OA there is no clear recommendation when to time the second surgery. The purpose of this study was therefore to co...
There exists a paucity of data on the relationship between psychological factors and return to sport in patients who undergo surgery for complex patellofemoral instability (PFI). The purpose of this study was ...
Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) has been implicated in cancer progression and metastasis. Nevertheless, the role of the NET-related gene, formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1), in osteosarcoma (OS) remains larg...
Dual-mobility cup (DMC) is gaining increasing attention in total hip arthroplasty (THA) revision due to its numerous advantages. However, the prognosis after isolated cup revision with DMC remains unclear. Thi...
Muscle hernia refers to the localized protrusion of muscle from a weak point due to fascia defects. Muscle hernias can be classified as structural or traumatic. There are many reasons for the formation of fasc...
