Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Lian-gen Yang"
- Lian-gen Yang's research primarily focuses on innovative surgical techniques for joint reconstruction, particularly in cases involving tumor excision and associated bone defects.
- In a study published in 2003, Yang explored the transplantation of the fibular head, along with its vascular supply from the lateral inferior genicular artery, as a method for wrist joint reconstruction following the removal of a giant cell tumor from the distal radius.
- The results of this study indicated successful bony healing and restored wrist function among the three patients followed for 6 to 18 months, highlighting the efficacy of the proposed surgical method in preventing tumor relapse and improving patient outcomes.
