Rodent models are commonly employed to validate preclinical disease models through the evaluation of postoperative behavior and allodynia. Our study investigates the dynamic interplay between pain and function...
Pathological fractures of the femoral neck caused by necrosis of the femoral head are extremely rare. Here, we report a rare case of bilateral femoral head osteonecrosis extending to the femoral neck, with bil...
To compare the outcomes and characteristics of oblique lumbar interbody fusion stand-alone (OLIF-SA) and OLIF with posterior pedicle screw fixation (OLIF-PPS) in the treatment of Grade I or Grade II degenerati...
Locomotive syndrome (LS) is characterized by reduced mobility. Clinical decision limit (CDL) stage 3 in LS indicates physical frailty. Lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSS) is one of the causes of LS, for which l...
Surgical treatment of distal clavicle fractures Neer type II is challenging. A gold standard has not yet been established, thus various surgical procedures have been described. The purpose of this study is to ...
Our study aimed to identify the relationship between treatment outcome assessed by patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and satisfaction measured by calculation of the Net Promoter Score (NPS), which identifies p...
Surgical treatment of pelvic and acetabular fractures is an advanced intervention with a high risk of subsequent complications. These patients are often polytrauma patients with multiple injuries in several or...
There has been ongoing debate about the use of tourniquets in total knee arthroplasty, and their application is widely studied. A comprehensive understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of tourniquet u...
The function of the paraspinal muscles and especially the psoas muscle in maintaining an upright posture is not fully understood. While usually considered solely as a hip flexor, the psoas muscle and its compl...
