Bacterial infection is a serious postoperative complication of joint replacement. To prevent infections related to implantation, we have developed novel antibacterial coating with Ag-containing hydroxyapatite (Ag-HA). In the present study, examined activity Ag-HA implant coatings in medullary cavity rat tibiae. Forty 10-week-old rats received implantation Ag-HA- or HA-coated titanium rods, then were inoculated ∼1.0 × 10(2) colony-forming units methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus....
Despite the recent advances in cancer treatment, incidence of patients with spinal metastases continues to grow along total number patients. Spinal can significantly impair activities daily living (ADL) and quality life (QOL), compared other types bone metastases, as they are characterized severe pain paralysis caused by skeletal-related events. Reduced ADL also lead treatment limitations certain anticancer agents radiation therapy not compatible treatments; thus, leading a shorter...
ABSTRACT Antibacterial silver with hydroxyapatite (Ag–HA) is a promising coating material for imparting antibacterial properties to implants. We previously reported that 3% (w/w) HA (3% Ag–HA) has both activity and osteoconductivity. In this study, we investigated the effects of Ag–HA on in vitro osteoblast function vivo anchorage strength osteoconductivity Production marker alkaline phosphatase, but not cytotoxicity, was observed cells cell line MC3T3‐E1 cultured Ag–HA‐coated surface. These...
The concept of minimally invasive spine therapy (MIST) has been proposed as a treatment strategy to reduce the need for overall patient care, including not only surgery (MISS) but also conservative and rehabilitation. To maximize effectiveness care in surgery, educational needs medical students, residents, rehabilitation can be enhanced by digital transformation (DX), virtual reality (VR), augmented (AR), mixed (MR), extended (XR), three-dimensional (3D) images holograms; wearable sensors,...
The phrase “skin as a mirror of internal medicine,” which means that the skin reflects many diseases organs, is well-known notion. Despite phenotypic differences between soft and hard bone, bone are highly associated. Skin consist fibroblasts osteoblasts, respectively, secrete collagen involved in synthesis, while Langerhans cells osteoclasts control turnover. Moreover, quality quantity may be modified by aging, inflammation, estrogen, diabetes, glucocorticoids. pathologically drugs,...
Abstract Background To investigate the possibility of silver (Ag)-induced adverse events and degree bone fusion in posterior lumbar interbody surgery using an Ag-containing hydroxyapatite (HA) cage. Methods An Ag-HA cage consisting highly osteoconductive HA interfused with Ag was developed, we applied it clinically at three university-affiliated hospitals from April 2020 to December 2020. During 12-month postoperative observation period, Ag-related events, neuropathy, complications were...
Many cases of vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) and infective endocarditis (IE) co-infection have been reported, it has recognized that attention should be paid to the possibility both diseases co-existing during diagnosis treatment. However, incidence, clinical status, outcomes IE in patients with VO remain unclear. For this study, eligibility criteria for patient recruitment included all at five medical university hospitals. Patients a history spinal surgery were excluded from study....
There are no reports that have examined the annual trends of percentage women who members Japanese Society for Spine Surgery and Related Research (JSSR) or their roles at meetings. Furthermore, status gender diversity in JSSR remains unclear. This study aims to identify by quantifying role meetings over past decade.
A thorough understanding of lumbar segmental motion is valuable to treat patients with degenerative disease, but kinematics associated indicators intervertebral instability [traction spur, Modic changes (MCs) and vacuum phenomenon (VP)] in the spine have not been well understood. The purpose this study evaluate relationships between traction MCs VP radiographic measurements spine. total 525 discs from L1-2 L5-S1 105 were evaluated. sagittal translation (ST) angulation measured radiographs...
To elucidate the changes in coronal lumbar-pelvic-femoral alignment after conversion total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients with unilateral ankylosed hip. A retrospective radiologic study of 48 (48 hips) arthrodesis who underwent THA was conducted. Cobb's angle lumbar scoliosis (LS), pelvic obliquity (PO) angle, and adduction (HAA) on standing anterior-posterior spine-pelvis-hip radiographs were measured before THA. The differences LS, PO, HAA defined as ΔLS, ΔPO, ΔHAA, respectively. paired...
Key Clinical Message A woman with a history of psychiatric hospitalization was misdiagnosed conversion paralysis despite lower extremity due to thoracic epidural hematoma, leaving her severe neurological deficits. Conversion is diagnosis exclusion and should never be made unless all possible organic causes have been ruled out.
Higher gender diversity correlates with higher patient satisfaction, higher-quality medical education, increased research productivity, and revenues. Although the field of Japanese orthopaedic surgery includes lowest proportion women lags in diversity, reports on current status academic activities are scarce. We investigated changes women's participation at Orthopaedic Association (JOA) annual meetings over past 11 years.
Key Clinical Message Spinal subdural hematoma is uncommon but may become more prevalent with increasing anticoagulant use. Early diagnosis from symptoms like lower back pain and leg paralysis crucial for timely intervention.
