Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzed 389 patients aged 65 and older with cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) but no bone injury to assess the effects of diabetes on neurological recovery.
  • The research found that there were no significant differences in neurological outcomes between diabetic patients and those without diabetes at 6 months post-injury.
  • Additionally, moderate-severe diabetes did not adversely impact recovery, suggesting that diabetic patients had similar improvements in neurological function as their nondiabetic counterparts.

Background: The single-radius design is one of the major total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs and widely used all over the world. The objective of this study was to compare in vivo kinematics between the anteroposterior (AP) single-radius design with mediolateral (ML) single-radius (Non Restricted Geometry; NRG) and ML dual-radius (Triathlon) during stair activities.

Methods: A total of 21 knees in 18 patients (NRG group: 10 knees in 7 patients, Triathlon group: 11 knees in 11 patients) with a clinically successful posterior stabilized TKA were examined.
