A new single nucleotide polymorphism affects the predisposition to thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2019
Background Thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (T-OPLL) is one of the common factors that cause thoracic spinal stenosis, which results in intractable myelopathy and radiculopathy.

The Cervical Vertebral Bone Quality Score Is a Novel Reliable Index Reflecting the Condition of Paraspinal Muscles and Predicting Loss of Cervical Lordosis After Open‐Door Laminoplasty

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1406-1417, May 2025.
There is a close correlation between C‐VBQ scores and the cervical deep extensors, deep flexors, and overall paraspinal muscles relative cross‐sectional area (RCSA) and degree of fat infiltration (DFF). The C‐VBQ score is a comprehensive parameter reflecting the quality of cervical bone and paraspinal muscles.

Establishing a Staging System for Adjacent Segment Disease and Exploring Its Significance in Guiding Surgical Decisions: A Retrospective Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1418-1432, May 2025.
Developed a staging system for adjacent segment disease based on degeneration characteristics. Verified the feasibility and reliability of stage‐guided surgical decision‐making through surgical data, radiological data, and follow‐up data. This staging system was closely correlated with intervertebral disc degeneration and disc height while also ...

Effect of Keeping Caspar Retractor During Prestige LP Cervical Disc Implantation on Intra‐ and Postoperative Outcomes

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the effect of retaining the Caspar retractor during Prestige LP implantation in cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA). Although the manufacturer recommends removal, removal caused vertebral instability during endplate drilling/cutting. Retaining the retractor reduced angle fluctuations, implantation time, and fluoroscopy usage, though ...

Tendinopathy: Types, Epidemiology, Molecular Mechanisms, and Future Precision‐Oriented Therapeutic Strategies

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 11, November 2026.
This review presents tendinopathy as a heterogeneous disorder driven by dynamic interactions among mechanical sensing, inflammation, angiogenesis and innervation, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Integrating clinical phenotypes with imaging, biomarkers, and multi‐omics may enable molecular subtyping and mechanism‐guided interventions, advancing ...

Updating the forelimb anatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus, Felidae) based on evolutionary inferences of its muscles and nerves I: Shoulder and brachium

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 1138-1169, November 2026.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

Functional anatomy, jaw mechanisms, and feeding behavior of Dunkleosteus terrelli (Placodermi, Arthrodira)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2574-2635, October 2026.
A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...
