Tenascin-C promotes the repair of cartilage defects in mice.
Published in Journal of orthopaedic science : official journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association
The effects of tenascin-C (TNC) on cartilage repair were examined in cartilage defect model mice. An in vitro study was also performed to determine the mechanism of cartilage repair with TNC. Full-thickness osteochondral defects were filled with TNC (group A: 100 μg/ml, group B: 10 μg/ml, group C: empty). Mice were sacrificed at 1, 2, 3, and 6 week...
Histopathological changes in patellar tendon enthesis of rabbit induced by electrical stimulation intensity.
Published in Journal of orthopaedic science : official journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association
Enthesis injury is a common problem in athletes and workers, which is considered closely related to overuse. However, the early pathophysiologic changes of osteotendinous junction are not well understood, and moreover, few studies investigated the relationship between intensity and pathological changes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate mic...
The influence of hallux valgus and flatfoot deformity on metatarsus primus elevatus: A radiographic study.
Published in Journal of orthopaedic science : official journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association
Metatarsus primus elevatus (MPE), a dorsal elevation of the first metatarsal in relation to the lesser metatarsals on lateral-view radiographs, is an indicator of hallux rigidus. The angle between the articular surfaces of the base of the first metatarsal and the anterior part of the medial cuneiform (M1C1A) reflects the sagittal instability of the...
Osteosarcoma in patients over 50 years of age: Multi-institutional retrospective analysis of 104 patients.
...Published in Journal of orthopaedic science : official journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association
Primary osteosarcoma in elderly patients are rare malignant tumors. Its optimal treatment has not yet been determined. This retrospective study included 104 patients aged >50 years with resectable, non-metastatic osteosarcoma treated by the members of the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Study Group of the Japan Clinical Oncology Group. The effects of ad...

Lumbar spinal surgery improves locomotive syndrome in elderly patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis: A multicenter ...
...Published in Journal of orthopaedic science : official journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association
Owing to musculoskeletal dysfunction, locomotive syndrome elevates the risk of requiring nursing care. Among degenerative musculoskeletal disorders, lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSS) associates with locomotive syndrome; however, whether lumbar spinal surgery for LSS improves locomotive syndrome remains unclear. Hence, this study aimed to identify ...
Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Behavioral Avoidance Test-Back Pain (BAT-Back) to the Turkish language.
Published in Journal of orthopaedic science : official journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association
Pain-avoidance is considered to be one of the major leading factors to develop a chronic low back pain (CLBP). In this study, we aimed to translate the Behavioral Avoidance Test-Back Pain (BAT-Back) into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties in patients with CLBP. 115 patients with CLBP filled the provided socio-demographic information f...
Detection of total hip prostheses at airport security checkpoints.
Published in Journal of orthopaedic science : official journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association
There have been several reports regarding airport security checks using arched metal detectors in patients with orthopedic implants and/or joint replacement surgery. Implants of different sizes and/or materials are used in total hip arthroplasty (THA), but there have been no reports regarding differences in detection rates between different types o...

Published in Journal of orthopaedic science : official journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association
Postoperative exercise is effective for improving activities of daily living (ADL) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and exercise has been included in standard care after surgery provided in Japan. However, it is unknown whether standard care has room to develop for improving ADL. The goal of this study was to investigate the ef...
