An Andersson lesion (AL) is a fatigue fracture occurring across three columns in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), resulting in spinal pseudarthrosis (SP) formation, most commonly in the thoracolumbar segment. Howe...
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is a pervasive injury within contemporary combat and a primary driver of disability among injured Service members. As such, VML has been a topic of investigation over the past deca...
The greater likelihood of morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stays and poorer long-term outcomes as a result of surgical site infections secondary to spinal surgery makes prophylactic measures an imperat...
To evaluate the changes of cytokines and immune cells after Intra-articular hyaluronic acid(IAHA)injections in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Severe frozen shoulder (FS) is often resistant to treatment and can thus result in long-term functional impairment. However, its etiology remains unknown. We hypothesized that gene expression of FS would vary ...
