- This study compared the effectiveness of CaO-SiO-PO-BO bioactive glass-ceramics (BGS-7) versus allograft spacers with iliac bone grafts (IBG) in patients undergoing multilevel anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgeries for neck issues.
- Patients who received BGS-7 had a fusion rate of 89.5%, while those with IBG had a fusion rate of 92.2%. Both methods showed solid integration with bone, and no significant differences were noted between the two types of spacers.
- Post-surgery, the BGS-7 group maintained better lower segmental height compared to the
Backgroud: The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) in Korean postmenopausal women and the association between OVCFs and clinical factors such as age, bone mineral density (BMD), and quality of life.
Methods: According to the population distribution in four regions in Korea, 1,281 postmenopausal female patients were recruited from nationwide orthopedic outpatient clinics. Radiologic, asymptomatic, and within 3 months of OVCF groups were analyzed based on age, fracture location, and prevalence according to BMD.
Background: Radius osteotomies showed favorable clinical outcome in Kienböck's disease. However, few articles have been published on the long-term outcome of lateral wedge osteotomy of the radius in patients with advanced stage Kienböck's disease.
Methods: Eleven patients with Lichtman stage IIIB/IV Kienböck's disease (group A; mean follow-up period, 86.
Among medical education institutions worldwide, the time allotted for anatomy instruction has decreased without any reasonable time optimization suggestions. In addition, the utility of cadaver dissection has long been debated. Herein, we surveyed students' perceptions of anatomy education with respect to time and hands-on cadaver dissection, at Seoul National University College of Medicine.
