Although several radiographic predictors for pulmonary function in adolescent patients have been reported, those in adult patients remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the associations between spinal deformity and pulmonary function in nonoperatively treated adult patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Of 319 patients tr...

Myofibroma is a rare benign tumor typically occurring in the skin and subcutaneous tissues of the head and neck in infants and young children. The incidence of solitary intraosseous and adult myofibroma is extremely low. Although there have been a few reported cases of solitary intraosseous myofibroma in adult patients, most of these cases involved...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations of the shape of the first metatarsal head with (1) the presence of osteoarthritis in the sesamoid-metatarsal joint and (2) the pronation angle of the first metatarsal head on foot radiographs. A total of 121 patients, with the mean age of 61 years, underwent weight-bearing dorsoplantar, lat...

Falls are a primary cause of physical disability in older adults, making them a major public health problem. Locomotive syndrome risk assessments have proven to be simple to administer, practical, and useful as screening tools in detecting decreased mobility in middle-aged and elderly adults. The current prospective study investigated whether these...

Disadvantages of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages are their smooth and hydrophobic surfaces and their lack of osteoconductivity. Titanium (Ti) coated PEEK cage has been innovated to overcome these potential concerns. However, few well-designed studies have investigated the efficacy of Ti-coated PEEK cage on interbody fusion in humans. This study a...

Several studies indicated the influence of age and sex on spinal alignment using spino-pelvic radiographic parameters. However, information regarding the geometrical assessment of the sagittal spinal plane in the elderly population remains limited. This study aimed to determine the apices of lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis, and spinal inflect...

There is a lack of consensus of operative time (OT) and estimated blood loss (EBL) for elderly patients based on the predicted risk of complications after posterior spine surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of age, OT, and EBL on the postoperative complication risk and to develop a simple sliding scale. We explored prospec...

Lateral thrust is known to be risk factors for knee osteoarthritis progression. Medial meniscus extrusion is also known to be risk factors for knee osteoarthritis progression; moreover, the amount of change in medial meniscus extrusion from non-weight bearing to weight bearing is an important factor for the progression of knee osteoarthritis. This ...
