A narrow spinal canal is a fundamental risk factor for cervical myelopathy. Therefore, cervical myelopathy might be expected to decrease in Japan in the near future when the present younger generations have aged.

The average of five categories of JOABPEQ scores in all patients was similarly distributed. However, the average scores in the five categories were significantly different depending on age, sex, and type of disease. Compared with prior mass data (baseline data on the observational cohort of the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial in the United States), many data were similar based on the type of disease in the current study. Furthermore, the JOABPEQ is easy to use compared with the SF-36. Hence, we concluded that the JOABPEQ could be used worldwide as a tool for evaluating low back pain.

With regard to the pathophysiology of idiopathic CTS, biomechanical studies to determine the kinematics of the flexor tendon, and the median nerve inside the carpal tunnel may provide valuable insights. Different degrees of excursion between the flexor tendons and the median nerve could cause strain and microdamage to the synovial tissue; this has been microscopically observed. A biomechanical approach for elucidating the events that trigger the development of CTS seems interesting; however, there are limitations to its applications. Endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) is a useful technique for achieving median nerve decompression....

Our results validate the use of the support tool for the diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis. Although the specificity observed in the present study was lower than that reported at development, we conclude that this support tool is useful for screening patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.

However, neither design is sufficient to reproduce medial pivot motion and posterior femoral rollback. Therefore, a different design of tibial insert is needed for more physiological kinematics after TKA.

Increasing age correlated with a more forward sagittal vertical axis, depending on a decrease in the total lumbar lordosis. The cause of loss of lumbar lordosis in the subjects without vertebral fracture was anterior wedging of the segmental discs. Posterior wedging of the thoracic and lumbar segmental discs then could occur, compensating for the loss of lumbar lordosis.

The scope could support cement removal in femoral revisions under good exposure and maintenance of working space, as well as confirmation of bone bed state. Although one case required an additional approach, application of the flexible endoscope has potential merit to contribute to less invasive total hip revision arthroplasty, possibly combined with other refined devices of cement extraction.

For independent patients with a stabilized somatic condition, surgery should be performed within 24 h. For unstable cases, we believe it is better to provide early surgery after stabilizing the patient’s condition to the greatest possible extent.

Aggressive débridement of bone and soft tissue and reconstruction of the extremity, performed as a limb salvage procedure, is an alternative treatment option to amputation. Methods  Our patients had a mean age of 42 years. According to the Paley classification, one of the patients had A2 pseudoarthrosis, four had B2, and three had B3. One had localized infection, whereas the other seven had diffuse infection, according to the Cierny-Mader system. The mean duration of the infection was 10.75 years, and the mean number of previous operations was 5.13. The mean shortness was 2.4 cm, and the mean bone defect was 1 cm. ...

The software calculation of the proposed implant position has been shown to be inaccurate and needs improvement. Hence, manual adjustment of the implant position in the software-planning step is frequently required. Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Original ArticleDOI 10.1007/s00776-009-1356-5Authors C.

Therefore, raloxifene has a sex difference with regard to its osteogenic effect on MSCs. Moreover, combined treatment with raloxifene plus OS has an effect on female MSCs. These results provide a useful insight into the possible influence of raloxifene after MSC transplantation in clinical practice.

Postoperative malalignment diminishes during the follow-up period possibly due to remodeling of the pediatric cervical spine, although remodeling of the spinal canal diameter cannot be expected, suggesting the importance of anatomical reduction before or at the time of surgery.

The bone-ingrowth rate in porous-type cementless implants was about 90% over 10 years after surgery, showing that biological fixation of cementless THR was well maintained on both the stem and cup sides. As for the stress shielding of the femur operated using a distal fixation-type stem, severe bone resorption was observed. The severe bone resorption group showed continuous progression for more than 10 years after surgery.

As all the neurinomas had this shape (Eden type 2 or 3) at C1/2, this anatomy might favor progression to the extradural and extraforaminal spaces. However, it also allows total removal of the tumor via a posterior approach. To maintain postoperative cervical alignment, the surgeon should select the least invasive approach to the paraspinal muscles attached to the spinous process of C2   Content Type Journal ArticleCategory Original ArticleDOI 10.1007/s00776-008-1309-4Authors Masahiko Watanabe, Tokai University School of Medicine Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Surgical Science 143 Shimokasuya, Isehara Kanagawa 259-1193 JapanDaisuke Sakai, Tokai University School of Medici...

With dorsal-type nonunion, however, pressure concentration around the capitate head was aggravated with the simulated distal fragment resection, indicating a potential risk of worsening any preexisting lunocapitate arthritis.

A solid fusion at the end of growth remained unchanged. Degenerative changes outside the fusion area were rare and seldom required further surgery. In summary, 23 patients with a mean follow-up of 51 years after treatment are presented. Early fusion was far superior to delayed or nonsurgical treatment.

There may also be a smaller peak knee flexion moment after arthroplasty compared to controls. Knee mechanics in the operated knee are not normal after total knee arthroplasty. Abnormal gait mechanics may predispose the individual to further joint degeneration, particularly in the nonoperated knee.

Cancellous bone disruption triggered repair in all layers. Removal of the subchondral plate enabled infiltration of nutrients via blood vessels, with the underlying bone acting as a scaffold for the regenerating fibrocartilage.

However, its role during the early stance phase, coupled with high conformity, helps significantly to decrease compressive stresses on the polyethylene, fostering the beneficial effect of high conformity in a mixed lubrication regime. This beneficial effect may also be of great interest in total knee replacement systems based on materials with less deformation.

Therefore, the tightness of the knee extensor mechanism measured at total knee arthroplasty is a good predictor of maximum postoperative range of flexion.

In addition, the micropores of β-TCP ceramic may provide an environment for collagen formation, leading to the deposition of apatite crystals. Therefore, the micropores facilitate bone ingrowth as well as ceramic resorption.
