Bone Plates & Patellar Fixation Mimics cortical bone stiffness, reducing stress shielding Flexes naturally with movement, improving long-term outcomes 3. Spinal Implants Self-expanding properties minimize insertion trauma Fatigue-resistant, making it ideal for high-load spinal applications The Future of Nitinol in Orthopedics Ongoing research is expanding ...
Research indicates that they hold promise for repairing damaged tissues in conditions such as heart disease, osteoarthritis, and spinal cord injuries. Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of hMSCs in promoting cartilage regeneration and improving heart function after myocardial infarction. ...
Posterolateral Rabbit Spinal Fusion Study I. Introduction Autologous bone has long been the gold standard for bone graft substitute in spinal fusion procedures. ...
Background CellRight Technologies® has developed ACTIGEN™ Verified Inductive Bone Matrix, a dehydrated, verified inductive matrix that may be hydrated with saline, blood, Bone Marrow Aspirate (BMA), Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), or other cellular components in accordance with a physician’s well-informed medical judgment. The clinician may add allograft or autograft to ...
By designing custom mRNA molecules, researchers can steer stem cell differentiation towards specific cell types, offering promising prospects in treating conditions such as spinal cord injuries and muscular dystrophy. This precision in directing cell development has the potential to revolutionize the field of regenerative medicine, providing new avenues for tissue repair and ...
For many individuals, sleeping with the right pillow can help them win the war against snoring. This is because your sleep position can dramatically affect how much you snore and how much this impacts your sleep quality. When you sleep, your airway relaxes and narrows causing your tongue to fall backwards. As a result, your throat wall vibrates as you breathe and causes you to snore. ...
Allows for future adaptation of technology for regenerative medicine and cell therapy in humans for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, Lou-Gehrig disease (ALS), Huntington's disease, and spinal cord injury among other diseases. Differentiation of genome engineered in iPSCs (mutation introduction or correction) to neurons, offers an isogenic source of control-disease cell ...
Punctate midline myelotomy (PMM) is considered a procedure to treat severe intractable visceral pain by interrupting the postsynaptic dorsal column pathway (PSDC) of the spinal cord. This trial assessed changes in the pain hypersensitivity response due to lumbar arthritis after PMM by the Hargreaves test. ...
User A young man (28 years old) who is confined to a wheelchair after a car accident or spinal cord injury. In addition to motor problems, he has mainly speech and memory problems, which significantly isolates him socially. ...
When the load increases, the pain increases and even the movement is limited.(2) Spinal deformityPatients with severe osteoporosis may have spinal deformities such as shortened height and hunched back. Spinal deformities can aggravate spine and lower extremity joint pain. ...
After being bed-ridden for a month, Rich reluctantly completed pre-admission testing for spinal fusion ...
The spinal cord is to relay messages between the brain and the rest of the boy. When spinal cord injury happens the body may lose some essential functions if the nerves can’t communicate with the brain. Inadequate bladder management of spinal cord injury (SCI) results in medical complications, psychological stress and even mortality. ...
Check back for our next installment, in which we analyze transcriptomics from spinal cord samples collected from patients as well as a mouse model. ...

CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old female with some dysmorphism and mild osteoporosis had a fall in the shower, resulting in a Y-shaped sacral fracture and non-displaced fractures of the superior and inferior pubic ...
CASE PRESENTATION A 28-year-old male complained of left hip pain after a motor vehicle accident. There were no other significant injuries to be ...
Results: Eighteen (18) patients completed the study (mean age 46 + 15.5, 15 men and 3 women).. Twelve (12) subjects had spinal cord injury (SCI), four with paraplegia and eight with tetraplegia. ...
Similarly, the compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots by disc disease and degenerative osteoarthritis are rapidly relieved by the reduction of inflammation, scar tissue formation and osteophyte resorption, resulting in the disappearance of the symptomatology commonly referred to as radiculitis/sciatica. ...
There’s a huge element of both physician and emotional suffering that comes along with it.” Lumbar spinal stenosis is a lower back pain caused by an enlarged ligament. Dr. Patel states, “When patients say they have pain in their back or legs the longer they stand or walk, and their ability to stand or walk is getting less and less, that clues me in that they ...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): ALS affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord which causes loss of muscle control. Over time, muscles in the body becomes weaker, and problems with strength in the arms and legs arises while difficulty in in speaking and swallowing occur. ...
An injury to your spinal cord changes your life dramatically. Paralysis in both arms and legs forces you to come to terms with your body that no longer functions like it used to. ...
