BMP-2 gene-modified mesenchymal stem cells enhance tendon–bone healing in ACL reconstruction: a rabbit micro-CT and biomechanical study
Orthopedics Imaging 3 min.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries remain prevalent in orthopedics and sports medicine. Although recent epidemiological data from regions like the United States suggest a potential stabilization or even decline in overall incidence, surgical reconstruction demand continues to rise sharply, particularly...
An MRI-based radiomics framework for early identification and progression stratification in knee osteoarthritis: data from the osteoarthritis initiative
Orthopedics Imaging 5 min.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative joint disease and a major cause of pain and disability worldwide, with the knee joint being the most commonly affected area [1, 2]. Despite its high prevalence and socioeconomic burden, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying knee osteoarthritis (KOA)...
Alveolar branches of canalis sinuosus: a radiographic and morphometric assessment by cone beam computed tomography
Orthopedics Imaging 6 min.
The branch of the infraorbital nerve, which is called the anterior superior alveolar nerve, as well as its accompanying vessels, pass through the “canalis sinuosus (CS)” and the term was derived from the shape of the canal, due to its double-curved course [1]. The anterior superior alveolar...
Point-of-Care Ultrasound Versus X-ray for Pediatric Upper Extremity Injuries: A Safe and Radiation-Free Alternative?.
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
This study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and x-ray in detecting upper extremity fractures in children, focusing on sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic performance. Particular attention was given to distal forearm fractures, the most common fracture...
Microvascular evaluation in MSK ultrasound
Orthopedics Imaging 3 min.
Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK US) is a valuable imaging modality for evaluating superficial structures such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joint and Doppler techniques play a key role in the detection and assessment of tissue vascularization, particularly in inflammatory, traumatic, and degenerative...
