Comparison Between Interlaminar and Transforaminal Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy for Sciatic Scoliosis Secondary to Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Retrospective Study With a Minimum 1 Year Follow‐Up

ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of interlaminar and transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy (IELD and TELD) in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) with sciatic scoliosis. Methods Patients with sciatic scoliosis secondary to LDH who had undergone IELD or...

Systematic review and meta-analysis on comparing treatment approaches of cervical fractures in ankylosing spondylitis to determine improvement in outcomes

Mode-Specific Association Between Tri-Cortical Pedicle Screws and Proximal Junctional Kyphosis in Adult Spinal Deformity: A Propensity Score-Matched Cohort Study.

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective propensity score-matched cohort study. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between tri-cortical pedicle screw (TPS) fixation and radiographic proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery and to explore mode-specific associations. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DA...

Engineering a multifunctional bioactive coordination polymer nanoplatform for inflammation-responsive bone regeneration

Inflammatory bone diseases are closely associated with impaired osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and excessive inflammatory signaling. Sinomenine (SIN) exhibits anti-inflammatory activity; however, its therapeutic application is limited by poor bioavailability. In this work, a multifunctional...

Quadriceps recovery after subvastus total knee arthroplasty in valgus deformity: a systematic review and pooled descriptive analysis

The subvastus approach appears viable for selected valgus knees, associated with rapid quadriceps recovery, functional improvement, and low complications within the available evidence, however, these findings derive from only three retrospective, single-arm studies with substantial heterogeneity.
