Pain and muscle fatigue in the low back and lower extremity associated with adult spinal deformity (ASD) markedly limit daily activities and affect quality of life. This study aimed to clarify if spinal correction surgery decreases the muscle activity requirements in relation to alignment and balance parameters ..read more

Arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis (AAA) has become popular because of its higher rate of bone union, lower invasiveness, and shorter hospital stays compared to those of open arthrodesis. However, postoperative malalignment is often observed for severe varus deformity, which can cause nonunion, pain, and adjacent joint arthrosis. A compression staple can provide a persistent, strong compressive force on the bone surface. This study aimed to clarify the difference in alignment correction in AAA by comparing a compression staple and screws fixation with screws-only fixation pre- and postoperatively ..read more

Hip fractures are commonly associated with osteoporosis and pose a risk for secondary fractures. Although the administration of anti-osteoporotic drugs is recommended after fractures to mitigate this risk, the potential effect of strong anti-resorptive drugs (e.g., denosumab) on fracture healing processes have not been extensively studied. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of early denosumab administration after femoral intertrochanteric fracture surgery and to compare its effect on fracture healing to that of bisphosphonate-treated patients ..read more

The management of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries widely varies among surgeons. Although various treatment options have been proposed including surgical and conservative treatments, no golden standard treatment strategy has been established of yet. The American survey reported an overall experienced and well-trained cohort of surgeons often reached consensus opinions on how to approach UCL injury. However, the consensus among Japanese surgeons on the treatment of UCL injuries remains unclear ..read more

The diagnosis and treatment of bone and soft tissue tumors have advanced greatly in the last two decades in the late twentieth century, which can be attributed to the efforts of our predecessors. Extensive analyses on gene expression in tumors have enabled us to establish accurate pathological diagnosis. The introduction of chemotherapy, advances in pathological diagnosis and imaging techniques, and development of various reconstructive methods have substantially improved patient treatment outcomes ..read more

Hand disorders are common in menopausal women. Equol is a soy metabolite produced in humans and its production level differs among individuals. The purpose of this research is to investigate the correlative relationship between variables indicating equol production levels and the occurrence of hand disorders in menopausal and postmenopausal women ..read more
