Cervical spondylotic myelopathy due to chronic compression: the role of signal intensity changes in magnetic resonance images.

Object: Although there is agreement that low-intensity signal changes on T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images are a prognostic factor for poor outcome after surgical treatment of cervical myelopathy due to chronic cord compression, the role of high-intensity signal changes on T2-weighted images is still controversial. The aim of the present study was to determine whether T2-weighted MR imaging can help assess the prognosis of the disease.

Methods: A prospective case series study was conducted.

Complications in medial meniscus suture: a cadaveric study.

The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of complications in medial meniscus repair using an inside-out suturing device. Anatomical cadaveric study. Six fresh frozen cadaveric lower limbs were used.
