Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a chronic disease associated with the degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 is a major enzyme that mediates the degradation of ECM components. MMP-13 has been predicted to be a potential target of miR-127-5p.

Objective: To assess and compare the improvement in sagittal balance after one- or two-level closing wedge osteotomy for correcting thoracolumbar kyphosis secondary to ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Summary Of Background Data: Closing wedge osteotomy represents a common approach to correct kyphosis in AS.
Initial CT-guided percutaneous biopsy of vertebral lesions: Evaluation of its diagnostic accuracy and clinical value.

Article Synopsis
- - This study compared the effectiveness of CT-guided versus C-arm guided percutaneous biopsies for diagnosing vertebral lesions, analyzing 305 total biopsies.
- - Results showed that CT-guided biopsies had a higher diagnostic accuracy (85%) compared to C-arm guidance (75.8%), with a notable difference between the two methods.
- - Complications were lower in CT-guided biopsies (3.1%) compared to C-arm (7.3%), confirming that CT-guided biopsies are both accurate and safer for vertebral lesions.
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy for high hip dislocation.
Methods: In this retrospective study, the results of 24 primary THAs with acetabular reconstruction and subtrochanteric femoral shortening osteotomy in 21 patients with high hip dislocation were evaluated. The acetabula were reconstructed with cemented or uncemented cups and bone grafting.
