[Purpose] This study investigated the effect of neurological symptoms and/or signs after occurrence neurogenic intermittent claudication (NC) on postural sway during quiet standing patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSS). [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-two female LSS at L4/5 level were studied. We measured path center foot pressure (COP) eyes open for 30 s using a stabilometer before NC. [Results] The total length COP (LC) area surrounded by outline (AC) significantly increased Body...
Experimental animal study.To evaluate pain-related behavior and changes in nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB), receptor activator of NF-kB (RANK), ligand (RANKL) dorsal root ganglia (DRG) after combined sciatic nerve compression nucleus pulposus (NP) application rats.The pathological mechanisms underlying pain from lumbar-disc herniation have not been fully elucidated. RANKL are transcriptional regulators inflammatory cytokines. Our aim was to expression DRG sciatic-nerve NP rats.MECHANICAL...
In cases of chronic irreducible and recurrent unstable atlantoaxial rotatory fixation (AARF), closed reduction its maintenance are often unsuccessful, requiring surgical treatment. The purpose the present report is to describe a rare case pediatric AARF that required multiple treatments. A 6-year-old boy was diagnosed as having type 2 AARF. After conservative treatment, patient treated with temporary surgery (C1-C2 Magerl) without bone graft in consideration motion preservation after screw...
Delayed union and non-union of distal radial fractures (DRFs) are rare, there a few reports delayed nonunion DRFs after palmar locking plate (PLP) fixation. A 68-year-old female patient presented to our hospital with left-sided wrist pain. Radiographs computed tomography revealed displaced DRF ulnar styloid fracture. We performed open reduction internal fixation PLP for the tension band wiring However, bone was not completed three months operation. initiated low-intensity pulsed ultrasound...
The surgical approach for open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of coronal shear fractures the distal humerus depends on multiple factors including fracture pattern, extent articular involvement, rehabilitation protocols, associated soft tissue injury, surgeon preference.14Pollock J.W.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate whether clinical findings can be used predict lower extremity complications associated with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after total hip arthroplasty (THA). [Subjects and Methods] In all, 37 female patients (mean age, 63.4 ± 10.2 years) osteoarthritis the who had undergone THA were included in study. We evaluated pain (Homans sign or tenderness) edema on postoperative day when physical therapy restarted. [Results] Venography revealed...
Background: Thorough debridement may be required to control bone and soft-tissue infections; however, we have tried continuous local antibiotic perfusion (CLAP) therapy with minimal debridement. CLAP perfuses the infection site a high concentration of antibiotics eradicate attached bacteria. The aim this study was demonstrate effectiveness by presenting cases in which even refractory infections caused hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae could cured without significant tissue loss...
We examined the relationship between Japanese version of Patient-Rated Elbow Evaluation (PREE-J) and other established subjective objective outcome measures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who underwent total elbow arthroplasty (TEA).This study involved 46 elbows 40 RA patients. collected clinical data 1 year after surgery, including PREE-J, Mayo Performance Score (MEPS), Disability Arm, Shoulder, Hand (DASH), Hand20. The correlation responsiveness to PREE-J were evaluated...
