Lumbar ossification of the ligamentum flavum reflects a strong ossification tendency of the entire spinal ligament

Scientific Reports, 2023
Patients with ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) in the lumbar spine may be at high risk of developing concomitant ossification of the entire spinal ligament, but the etiology remains unclear.

Initiation and progression of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine in the hereditary spinal hyperostotic mouse (twy/twy) [PDF]

, 2011
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a significantly critical pathology that can eventually cause serious myelopathy. Ossification commences in the vertebral posterior longitudinal ligaments, and intensifies and spreads with the ...

A biomechanical optimized Zr58Cu25Al14Nb3 bulk metallic glass dental implant improves peri‐implant stress distribution and bone quality under physiological loading

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This study reports a novel Zr58Cu25Al14Nb3 bulk metallic glass that possesses high mechanical strength and low elastic modulus, which further promotes efficient mechanotransduction and significantly improves peri‐implant bone quality upon cyclic occlusal loading.
