But a new University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) study has revealed that male smokers—who, demographically, are more likely than women to light up—are also placing themselves at a significantly increased risk of osteoporosis, bone fractures, and early death.
Allogenic perinatal tissue for musculoskeletal regenerative medicine applications: a systematic review protocol
Although autologous sources are promising, there is a wide range of limitations with the treatment, including the lack of randomized controlled studies for orthopaedic conditions, donor site morbidity, and highly variable outcomes for patients. Allogenic sources bypass some of these shortcomings and are a promising source for orthopaedic regenerative medicine applications.
Leukocyte-poor PRP injections during, after rotator cuff repair may reduce retear rate
Repeated leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma injections during and after double-row suture-bridge arthroscopic rotator cuff repair may reduce the retear rate and improve Goutallier grade and clinical outcomes, according to study results.
Early study suggests a new, injectable gel may greatly reduce chronic low back pain
An experimental formulation of a hydrogel, injected into spinal discs, proved safe and effective in substantially relieving chronic low back pain caused by degenerative disc disease (DDD), according to new research to be presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology Annual Scientific Meeting, in Boston.
Pain in the neck? New surgical method could be game-changing
Results of the study, published in The Spine Journal, the journal World Neurosurgery and Asian Spine Journal showed that the cage-screw and anterior plating combination model has promising potential to reduce the risk of micro motion and subsidence of implanted cages in two or more level ACDFs.
