Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction has become an accepted technique to treat patellofemoral instability, and numerous surgical techniques have been described to reconstruct the MPFL. We describe a MPFL reconstruction procedure where bone-fascia tunnel fixation occurs at the medial margin of the patella for recurrent patellar dislocation.

A simple technique for reconstruction of medial patellofemoral ligament with bone-fascia tunnel fixation at the medial margin of the patella: a 6-year-minimum follow-up study.

The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of Modic types on the clinical results of cervical spondylotic myelopathy treated by anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion.

A study on the cervical spondylotic myelopathy treated by anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion in accordance with Modic changes with a 2-year minimum follow-up.

Aim and Backgrounds: The accurate diagnosis of lung carcinoma patients with bone metastases is crucial for therapy and the prevention of complications. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic value of serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP) in lung carcinoma patients with bone metastases.

The purpose of this study aimed to assess preoperative risk factors for the incidence of deep venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).

Clinical analysis of preoperative risk factors for the incidence of deep venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether uncovertebral joint ossification was a risk factor for axial symptoms (AS) after cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA).

Incidence and risk factors of axial symptoms after cervical disc arthroplasty: a minimum 5-year follow-up study.

Adjacent segment disease (ASD) is one of the problematic complications following anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF). The impact of additional surgery with instruments is still unknown.

Clinical outcomes of additional surgery for adjacent segment disease after single-level anterior cervical decompression and fusion.

Intra-articular malunion of the proximal interphalangeal joint is challenging. Multiple treatment options vary from arthrodesis to different types of osteotomy procedures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of intra-articular osteotomy in treating malunited proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint fractures.

Intra-articular Osteotomy for Malunited Proximal Interphalangeal Joint Fracture.

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is an important therapy for the management of refractory wounds. The aim of this retrospective preliminary study was to introduce a modified NPWT (m-NPWT) and compared the efficacy of it with conventional NPWT (c-NPWT) in the management of refractory wounds.A total of 127 patients with refractory wounds receiving the NPWT from January 2010 to October 2017 in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The demographics and clinical data were collected from medical records and compared between m-NPWT group and c-NPWT group.There were 65 patients in c-NPWT group and 62 patients in m-NPWT group. No significant difference was observed between 2 groups in antimicrobial use (P = .51), hospitalization time (P = .24), wound-healing rate (P = .44) or complication rate (P = .59). However, patients in m-NPWT group had shorter wound-healing time (24.82 vs 27.66 days, P < .01), less debridement times (1.23 vs 2.08, P < .01), less total cost (3743.93 vs 6344.33 yuan, P < .01) and higher satisfaction rate (56/62 vs 44/65, P = .02) compared to those in c-NPWT group.The m-NPWT technique was an efficient and safe alternative therapy for refractory wounds.

Many complications are associated with thoracic open decompression surgery, such as dural tears and neurological deficits. The clinical outcomes are also not satisfactory. Full-endoscopic decompression of the lumbar spinal canal has achieved satisfactory results for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. This surgery may be used for the treatment of thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) under local anesthesia. The aim of our study is to introduce the surgical techniques used for full-endoscopic decompression for thoracic OLF and to evaluate its safety and efficacy.

Full-endoscopic decompression for thoracic ossification of ligamentum flavum: surgical techniques and clinical outcomes: A retrospective clinical study.

Refractory intercostal neuralgia is a troublesome disease with long treatment cycle and short-term therapeutic effects. No treatment modality has given effective pain relief. The authors present here a safe and effective endoscopic surgical option for refractory intercostal neuralgia.

Percutaneous Endoscopic Intercostal Neurectomy for Refractory Intercostal Neuralgia.

Symptomatic thoracic disc herniation is a challenge in spinal surgery, especially for cases with calcification. Traditional open operation has a high complication rate. The authors introduced a modified full-endoscopic transforaminal ventral decompression technique in this study and evaluated its imaging and clinical outcomes.

Full-Endoscopic Transforaminal Ventral Decompression for Symptomatic Thoracic Disc Herniation with or without Calcification: Technical Notes and Case Series.

Robot-assisted pedicle screw placement is usually performed under general anesthesia to keep the body still. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of the robot-assisted technique under regional anesthesia with that of conventional fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous pedicle screw placement under general anesthesia in minimally invasive lumbar fusion surgery.
