Why do women have more trouble after knee injuries? Model explains estrogen's role
A computer model of the cellular environment inside the knee developed by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers sheds light on why women tend to have worse outcomes after knee injuries than men. Their findings, published in Scientific Reports, could facilitate research into new therapies for knee inflammatory disorders and personalized treatments for patients with these conditions.
Effect of platelet-rich plasma on the prognosis of elderly degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis
To investigate the effect of platelet-rich plasma on the prognosis of elderly degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis by interfering with the catabolism of lumbar interbody fusion bone graft.
Adipose Tissue Bone Graft Performs Well in Initial Test
A novel adipose tissue derived bone graft, tentatively named NVDX3, has performed well in its initial test, a single-arm, open-label first-in-human proof-of-concept study in adults with distal radius fractures.
Excellent results of restricted kinematic alignment total knee arthroplasty at a minimum of 10 years of follow‐up
While restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with cemented implants has been shown to provide a similar survivorship rate to mechanical alignment (MA) in the short term, no studies have reported on the long‐term survivorship and function.
Chronic Adaptations of the Shoulder in Baseball Pitchers: A Systematic Review
Understanding clinical and tissue adaptations to the throwing shoulder is important for optimizing injury prevention and rehabilitation programs in baseball players. The purpose of this study was to determine the chronic clinical (range of motion [ROM] and strength) and tissue adaptations of the throwing shoulder in baseball pitchers.
