CT Hounsfield units in cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament-A comparison with other forms of degenerative cervical myelopathy using propensity score matching
Orthopedics Imaging 5 min.
Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of nerve compression and can result in the manifestation of neurological symptoms [1, 2]. DCM includes ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), disc herniation, subluxation, spondylolishesis and degenerative cervical deformity....
Ultrasound-guided PRP for coracoid syndrome: a novel case of conjoint tendon enthesopathy
Orthopedics Imaging 1 min.
Tendinopathy of the conjoint tendon (CjT), comprising the short head of the biceps brachii and coracobrachialis, represents an uncommon etiology of anterior shoulder pain. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case in which leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma (LR-PRP) was employed for its treatment....
Automated detection and segmentation of chondromalacia patella on axial knee MRI using YOLOv11 and a custom CNN: a deep learning-based diagnostic model
Orthopedics Imaging 4 min.
Chondromalacia patella is a common and often underdiagnosed source of anterior knee pain, especially among young adults and physically active individuals. If not recognized early, it may progress to patellofemoral osteoarthritis, impacting quality of life and physical function [1]. Magnetic resonance...
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)...
