[Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review].
To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. ⋯ The effects of Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy for treating knee osteoarthritis need more powerful trails to be confirmed. The above conclusions still need more high-quality randomized controlled trails to be verified owing to the limitations of the number and the quality of systematic review included studies.

To investigate the outcome of radical debridement, reconstruction with bone autograft or allograft and plate internal fixation via the anterior approach for the treatment of cervicothoracic tuberculosis. ⋯ The anterior approach can provide direct and safe access to the lesion. The decompression effect of the vertebral canal is significant. The structural iliac crest autograft or allograft and anterior instrumentation could work effectively to stabilize the cervicothoracic junction.
