Effectiveness of Kyphosis Reduction Using Cantilever Method in Thoracolumbar Spondylitis Tuberculosis: A Short-Term Follow-Up.

Background: Kyphosis in spondylitis tuberculosis (STb) is more than just a cosmetic issue. It has a potentially detrimental effect on both spine-associated structures and cardiopulmonary function. It can be corrected in any stage of STb; however, the corrective surgery is challenging, especially in the late case, in which the additional stiffness of the spine can come into consideration.

Histological Analysis of Bone Callus in Delayed Union Model Fracture Healing Stimulated with Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF).

Delayed union and nonunion fractures are clinical challenges for orthopedic surgeons. The development of fracture complications, such as delayed union and nonunion fractures, is still difficult to predict. Various methods are being investigated to improve fracture healing and prevent complications in patients.

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis on anterior pelvic ring injury and anterior column acetabular fracture.

Introduction: In performing surgery for fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum, various surgical approaches have been introduced with their own advantages and drawbacks. The extensile nature of ilioinguinal approach gives excellent exposure but was related to wound healing problems. Modified stoppa has a higher difficulty and poses a risk for neurovascular injury.

Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells, recombinant human BMP-2,and their combination in accelerating the union after osteotomy and increasing, the mechanical strength of extracorporeally irradiated femoral autograft in rat models.

Background: Delayed union, nonunion, and mechanical failure is still problems encountered in limb salvage surgery (LSS) using extracorporeal irradiation (ECI). This study aimed to determine whether bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) improve hostgraft union after osteotomy and also increase its mechanical strength.

Methods: Thirty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups.
