Objective: To investigate the feasibility and clinical efficacy of percutaneous spinal endoscopic debridement and lavage for the treatment of sacroiliac joint tuberculosis.
Methods: The clinical data of 7 patients with sacroiliac joint tuberculosis treated with percutaneous spinal endoscopic debridement and lavage from January 2007 to April 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 2 males and 5 females, aged from 29 to 69 years old, 4 cases on the right side of the lesion and 3 cases on the left side.
Background: The efficacy of core decompression plus autologous bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) remains controversial. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the efficacy of core decompression combined with BMSCs for OFNH patients.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library databases through October 2018 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of core decompression combined with BMSCs for OFNH patients.
Article Synopsis
- Madelung deformity is a rare wrist and forearm condition caused by irregular growth in the radius, ulnar, and palm bones, linked to trauma, developmental issues, nutritional problems, and genetic factors.
- Early signs of the deformity are often subtle, but it becomes more apparent over time through wrist deformities and weakness.
- Diagnosis mainly relies on X-rays, though MRI can detect earlier issues; severe cases typically require surgery, which, while effective, carries risks like infection and complications with joint mobility.
