DLX5 regulates the osteogenic differentiation of spinal ligaments cells derived from ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament patients via NOTCH signaling

JOR Spine, 2023
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligaments (OPLL) is common disorder characterized by heterotopic ossification of the spinal ligaments. Mechanical stimulation (MS) plays an important role in OPLL.

An unusual obstacle to the thoracic interlaminar epidural injection for the treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia

Ağrı, 2023
Interlaminar epidural steroid injections corresponding to dermatomes affected by post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) were found effective in reducing pain. Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a non-inflammatory condition that mainly occurs with ...

Thoracic Myelopathy Caused by Ossification of the Yellow Ligament as a Distal Adjacent Segmental Disease after Posterior Cervical-Middle Thoracic Fusion Surgery

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2020
Although adjacent segmental disease after posterior thoracic fusion surgery is rare, thoracic myelopathy due to ossification of the yellow ligament in the lower thoracic spine could develop because of mechanical stress when the lower instrumented ...
