It is a safe and effective treatment and is widely used for treating Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture. Despite of its beneficial advantages over primary conservative managements, adjacent level vertebral compression fracture remains the challenge for surgeons. Adjacent level vertebral compression fracture following percutaneous vertebroplasty using PMMA cement has been reported as a complication. Numerous risk factors have been reported for the occurrence of new adjacent VCFs after PVP. The multiple level osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and the increasing age of the patients are directly proportional to the risk of developing new symptomatic adjacent vertebral compression fracture after PVP. Moreover, low BMD and cement leakage are other factors that directly affect the incidence of new symptomatic adjacent vertebral fractures. The aim of this review is to evaluate the adjacent level vertebral compression fracture following percutaneous vertebroplasty on the basis of radiographs, Kaplan-Meier Estimation index and also the factors that lead to adjacent level vertebral compression fractures.展开更多
Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a procedure to replace the diseased or damaged knee joint with artificial prosthesis for the relief of disabling pain and restoring the function of knee. Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) ...Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a procedure to replace the diseased or damaged knee joint with artificial prosthesis for the relief of disabling pain and restoring the function of knee. Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common and successful procedures in modern orthopedics and is spreading through the world. Many surgeons are developing their skill but it needs experience and patience for successful outcomes. There are different factors which affect the outcome after total knee arthroplasty, among them;the coronal alignment of lower limb plays a major role. Many studies have supported that neutral mechanical alignment after total knee arthroplasty leads to better function. The aim of this review is to evaluate clinical outcome with reference to the coronal alignment of the limb and safety based on Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC), Knee Society Score (KSS) score.展开更多
