Correlation between radiculalgia and counts of T lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood of patients with lumbar disc herniationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Our results suggest that changes in T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood take place after prolapse of lumbar intervertebral discs. The current results may provide support for involvement of immunologic mechanisms in low back pain secondary to herniation of the lumbar disc. T lymphocytes may play an important role in the development of symptoms in patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Interbody cage support improves reconstruction of sagittal balance after anterior selective fusion in Lenke type 5 idiopathic scoliosis patientsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Anterior selective single rod instrumentation and fusion is a recommended method for Lenke type 5C AIS. A structural interbody cage does not appear to improve the regional profile, nor the profiles in the instrumented area and the adjacent proximal and distal segments; yet could result in a better total balance in the long-term.

Treatment of fractures of the ulnar coronoid processEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: We choose conservative treatment for type I fractures unless the bone fragment affected movement of the elbow joint, in which case we chose operative treatment so that elbow stability was not affected. Type II and type III fractures with elbow instability were reduced by internal fixation and the ligament repaired or reconstructed. In type IV cases, bone reconstruction was necessary to recover elbow stability. Proper post-operative rehabilitation can decrease the occurrence of traumatic osteoarthritis.

Review of current treatment of sacral chordomaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Chordoma is a relatively rare, locally aggressive tumor which is known to arise from embryonic remnants of the notochord and to occur exclusively along the spinal axis, with a predilection for the sacrum. 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 surg...

Clinical imaging characteristics of herniation pits of the femoral neckEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The occurrence of a herniation pit of the femoral neck correlates closely with the particulars of the structure of the hip joint and corresponding mechanical forces. Round or oval subcortical defects surrounded by a thin sclerotic rim in the superior lateral part of the femoral neck or the anterior lateral base of the femoral head, which are usually normal on radionuclide imaging and have focal cortical perforations on CT, are specific signs for diagnosing herniation pits of the femoral neck.

The effect of pedicle screw insertion through the neurocentral cartilage on the growth of immature canine vertebraEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: (i) Pedicle screw placement has a significant impact on the growth of the canine vertebra canal, and may lead to iatrogenic spinal stenosis, but their placement has no significant effect on the vertebral bodies; and (ii) the NCC can repair itself automatically. Drilling pedicle bone through the NCC with a screw and then removing the screw has no obvious impact on the growth of vertebrae. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)

Recurrence analysis in 66 cases with grade I and grade II chondrosarcomas in the extremitiesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Grade II chondrosarcomas should be grouped as high stage malignant tumors (Stage II) and grade I chondrosarcomas assigned to the low stage malignant tumor group (Stage I). Our experience suggests the surgical method should be related to radiographic margin status and oncologic classification. Wide resection should be considered for Grade II, while intralesional resection is suitable for Grade I. (Source: Orthopaedic Surgery)
