Prevalence, Radiological, and Pathological Findings of Ossification and Calcification of the Lumbar Spinal Ligamentum Flavum: A Comparative Study with Thoracic Lesions

Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of lumbar ligamentum flavum lesions and identify correlations between radiological and pathological findings. We conducted an observational cross-sectional study of 349 patients (lumbar: n = 296, thoracic: n =

A Xiphoid Elongation Following a Trauma Laparotomy: A Case Report [PDF]

Journal of Acute Care Surgery, 2023
Xiphoid elongation is a rare phenomenon where the xiphoid process elongates after stimuli such as surgery, physical therapy, or trauma. We report on a 47-year-old male involved in a traffic accident who went into cardiac arrest.

A Biofabrication Strategy for a Custom-Shaped, Non-Synthetic Bone Graft Precursor with a Prevascularized Tissue Shell

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Critical-sized defects of irregular bones requiring bone grafting, such as in craniofacial reconstruction, are particularly challenging to repair. With bone-grafting procedures growing in number annually, there is a reciprocal growing interest in bone ...

Contemporary perspectives on heterotopic ossification

JCI Insight, 2022
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is the formation of ectopic bone that is primarily genetically driven (fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva [FOP]) or acquired in the setting of trauma (tHO). HO has undergone intense investigation, especially over the last

Heterotopic Ossification: Clinical Features, Basic Researches, and Mechanical Stimulations

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is defined as the occurrence of extraskeletal bone in soft tissue. Although this pathological osteogenesis process involves the participation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts during the formation of bone structures, it differs

RSPO2 defines a distinct undifferentiated progenitor in the tendon/ligament and suppresses ectopic ossification

Science Advances, 2022
Ectopic endochondral ossification in the tendon/ligament is caused by repetitive mechanical overload or inflammation. Tendon stem/progenitor cells (TSPCs) contribute to tissue repair, and some express lubricin [proteoglycan 4 (PRG4)].

Histomorphometry of Ossification in Functionalised Ceramics with Tripeptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD): An In Vivo Study

Life, 2022
The present study investigated the osseointegration promoted by functionalised ceramics with peptide Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) in a rabbit model in vivo. Histomorphometry of the RGD functionalised ceramic implants was conducted by a trained pathologist to ...
