Three-dimensional models demonstrate differences in correction depending on femoral derotational osteotomy site and may enhance the planning and precision in femoral derotational osteotomy - An observational study in eight femora and two surgeons.

Background: Increased femoral anteversion (FAV) is crucial in the genesis of anterior knee pain (AKP) and a femoral derotational osteotomy (FDO) has demonstrated good clinical results. It remains unclear at what level of the femur the osteotomy should be performed. Resulting degrees of FAV measured by Murphy's method do not always correspond to the degrees that had been planned after an FDO.

The effects of a prehabilitation programme based on therapeutic exercise, back care education, and pain neuroscience education in patients scheduled for lumbar radiculopathy surgery: A study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

The aim of this present clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent prehabilitation programme administered through educational videos versus another programme based on written exercise recommendations, in patients scheduled for lumbar radiculopathy surgery. This study will be a multicentre, controlled, randomised, parallel clinical trial. One hundred participants undergoing lumbar radiculopathy surgery who meet the established inclusion criteria will be recruited at different Spanish hospitals.

Multimodal cell atlas of the ageing human skeletal muscle.

Muscle atrophy and functional decline (sarcopenia) are common manifestations of frailty and are critical contributors to morbidity and mortality in older people. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying sarcopenia has major implications for understanding human ageing. Yet, progress has been slow, partly due to the difficulties of characterizing skeletal muscle niche heterogeneity (whereby myofibres are the most abundant) and obtaining well-characterized human samples.

Central sensitization negatively influences the level of disability in female patients with anterior knee pain.

Purpose: To define the prevalence of Central Sensitization (CS) in patients with Anterior Knee Pain (AKP) and determine whether there is an association between CS and the magnitude of pain, disability, quality-of-life and psychological impairment.

Methods: The data of a total of 44 AKP female patients with a mean age of 27.7 years (15-50) recruited consecutively from hospital outpatient knee clinics were prospectively included in this study.

Predictive value of texture analysis on lumbar MRI in patients with chronic low back pain.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether MRI texture analysis could predict the prognosis of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain.

Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 100 patients with non-specific chronic low back pain, who underwent a conventional MRI, followed by rehabilitation treatment, and revisited after 6 months. Sociodemographic variables, numeric pain scale (NPS) value, and the degree of disability as measured by the Roland-Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ), were collected.
