Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare two methods for fixing femoral neck fractures: the novel Dynamic Compression Locking System (DCLS) and the traditional Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS), in terms of stability, healing, and complications.
- - Fifty patients were analyzed, with 26 treated using DCLS and 24 using DHS, focusing on differences in operation time, blood loss, rehabilitation, and post-op outcomes over 24 months.
- - Results indicated that the DCLS group experienced less surgical trauma, shorter operation times, and higher recovery scores compared to the DHS group, although both methods had similar reoperation rates.
Article Synopsis
- Bone cement leakage is a significant complication in treating Kümmell's disease via percutaneous vertebroplasty, leading to a study of clinical outcomes with and without leakage.
- The research included 64 patients, dividing them into two groups based on bone cement leakage observed in X-rays, and compared various health metrics and outcomes before and after surgery.
- Results showed that patients with leakage had more severe disease characteristics, but both groups experienced improvements in pain and disability post-surgery without significant differences between them.
Background: In recent years, percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) has provided a new option for the treatment of Kümmell's disease (KD). This retrospective study aimed to investigate the differences in clinical characteristics, clinical efficacy, and related complications between two types of bone cement distribution patterns in the PVP treatment of KD.
Methods: A total of 63 patients with KD from January 2016 to February 2018 who received PVP treatment were examined at least 24 months.
Article Synopsis
- This study analyzes the clinical effectiveness of two treatments, percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP), for Kümmell's disease using data from 56 patients, split evenly between the two methods.
- Both treatment groups showed no significant differences in age, bone density, or pre-surgery measurements, and they were followed for 24-48 months to compare outcomes.
- Results indicated that while both procedures improved pain and disability scores after surgery and had similar rates of complications, PVP had a shorter operation time and less blood loss compared to PKP, with no significant differences in recovery metrics between the two groups over time.
Background: Arthroscopic closure release includes arthroscopic lateral patella retinaculum releasing (LPRR) either outside synovial membrane (OSM) or through synovial membrane (TSM). At present, there is no research to compare the clinical efficacy of the above two methods for the treatment of lateral patellar compression syndrome (LPCS). So, the goal of this study was to investigate the method and overcome of arthroscopic LPRR either OSM or TSM for the treatment of LPCS.

The SBP-box gene family have important practical applications. In this study, 18 SBP-box genes were identified from the reference genome of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.
