Because there is disagreement about the stability of stand‐alone cage ALIF, some surgeons use various types of supplementary fixation, including anterior plates, pedicle screw systems and translaminar screws, to increase segmental stability. Many factors associated with both the cages and endplates influence the time of onset and extent of subsidence after use of stand‐alone cage ALIF. A large round cage with an adequate central opening is recommended to facilitate maximum contact with the periphery of the endplate. With regard to the relationship between radiographic fusion and recurrence of symptoms with the development of subsidence, most researchers have reported fin...

In this article, biomechanical and clinical aspects of rotating‐platform knee arthroplasty are reviewed. In regard to its biomechanical characteristics, the rotating‐platform knee arthroplasty design has been proved to provide less tibiofemoral contact stress under conditions of tibiofemoral malalignment. It also reduces the wear rate. However, in regard to its clinical characteristics, the mid‐term and long‐term survivorship of rotating‐platform knee arthroplasties is not superior to that of fixed‐platform knees. It appears that we are at a crossroads. In this article, progress in biomechanical and clinical aspects of rotating‐platform knee prosthesis is reviewed. (...

The natural history depends on the type of anomaly and the nature and presence of symptoms. Management of this disorder should be directed toward resolution of the symptoms while preserving meniscal tissue and function. Modern surgical techniques make suturing and preservation of meniscal tissue feasible. In the present article, the clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria and practical management considerations are reviewed.

Both have been reported to have multiple complications which, though rare, are potentially devastating. This literature review focuses on comparing the incidence of various types of complication of VP and KP. Local cement leakage and pulmonary cement embolism have been reported more commonly after VP than KP. It is questionable whether the relative risk of developing an adjacent level new fracture after VP is greater than after KP The relationship between a new VCF and each of these procedures has also not been clearly established.

A classification of OI into four types was proposed in 1979 and has been used up until four new types were added recently. A tough clinical challenge, OI causes abnormal blood coagulation and cardiovascular structure, airways obstruction, and delayed wound healing. The authors of the current article have reviewed recent progress in OI worldwide, including the mechanisms, classification, detection, clinical difficulties, and treatment.

However, to date no comprehensive review of PRAF has been published. The majority of published reports are in the form of cases report generally targeted at either diagnosis or therapy, or both. In this essay, we comprehensively review the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of PRAF.

Though traditional spinal correction and fusion techniques can improve these deformities, they inhibit growth of the spine. Nonfusion technologies are an effective approach to this problem. They not only correct the spinal deformity, but also allow the spine to keep growing and developing. These techniques include the growing rod, stapling, pedicle screw tethering, the vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib (VEPTR), and multi‐vertebrae wedge osteotomy. This is a review of advances in nonfusion techniques for the treatment of scoliosis in children.

With operative treatment, the surgeon should attempt to perform internal fixation of the coronoid fracture, to regain normal radiocapitellar contact (either by preserving the radial head with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or by replacing it with a prosthesis), and to repair the lateral collateral ligament (LCL). Thus early functional recovery and a successful final functional outcome can be achieved.

A large number of patients have already undergone, and more and more patients will in the future undergo, cervical disc replacement. The cervical device which best preserves movement, and has therefore been the device of choice, has been the Bryan cervical disc. Although a safe surgical technique has been demonstrated and favorable results of using the Bryan disc reported, some complications have also accompanied this arthroplasty. Complications of Bryan cervical disc replacement include those related to the operative approach ...

Arthroscopically assisted treatment of adolescent knee joint TB has the advantages of early diagnosis, minimization of trauma, thorough clearance and rapid recovery. Early treatment with arthroscopically assisted debridement, early rehabilitation and postoperative medication can preserve maximal function of knee joint and avoid arthrodesis. This is an ideal method for the treatment of adolescent knee TB.

T lymphocyte mediated immune responses may play an important role in the occurrence and development of signs in patients with herniated lumbar intervertebral discs. The SLR test may help to confirm that disc herniation has caused nerve root impairment by mechanical loading or inflammatory stimulus and provide guidance on the choice of treatment.

All four fixation techniques accorded with spinal biomechanical principles and restored intervertebral rotation displacements under flexion, rotation and bending loads to the intact condition. The screw-rod-hook and screw-rod construct fixation techniques provided more stability than did the modified Scott and Buck techniques, and are therefore good prospects for direct repair.

The implant tested is not appropriate in cases of serious spinal stenosis because of the contradiction that, while over-distraction of the interspinous processes decreases the posterior annulus and the zygapophyseal joints load and distracts the intervertebral foramina, it leads to a marked increase in the load of the anterior annulus, which is recognized to accelerate disc degeneration.

The laminar screw method avoids arterial injuries and also can be used as a salvage method after previous misinsertion. As all relevant structures are directly visualized during C2 laminar screw placement, this kind of technique may be applicable to a large number of patients.

In type IV cases, bone reconstruction was necessary to recover elbow stability. Proper post-operative rehabilitation can decrease the occurrence of traumatic osteoarthritis.

Although chordoma typically presents as a single lesion, a few cases of metastasis have been reported and the prognosis of such patients may be poor. Chordomas are slowly growing tumors with insidious onset of symptoms, making early diagnosis difficult. Recent improvements in imaging have provided valuable information for early diagnosis. The optimal treatment for sacral chordoma is en bloc sacral resection with wide surgical margins. Improvement in surgical techniques has widened the opportunities to provide effective treatment. However, the effects of adjuvant treatment options are stil...
