Multicenter Study
Biomechanical Effects of Thoracolumbosacral Orthosis Design Features on 3D Correction in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Comprehensive Multicenter Study.
Multicenter numerical study. ⋯ The corrective features of various scoliosis braces were objectively compared in a systematic approach with minimal biases and variability in test parameters, providing a better biomechanical understanding of individual passive mechanisms' contribution to 3D correction.
-
Retrospective case-control study. ⋯ Development of SSI after thoracolumbar fusion resulted in increased revision rates but did not influence patient improvement in one-year pain, functional disability, or physical and mental health status.
-
Basic experimental study. ⋯ M1 Mφ-derived IL-6 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of LF cells, which may be a pathway in which Mφs regulate the osteogenic differentiation of LF cells.
