Abstract

Background: Patient-reported outcomes are increasingly valuable for assessing the effectiveness of clinical interventions from the patient's perspective. This study aims to investigate the differences in the correlation between radiological measurements and 1-year postoperative SRS-22r domain scores in early (EA) and middle adolescence (MA) patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), as well as analyze the correlation of these outcomes across different Lenke curve types. Methods: We reviewed records of 87 female AIS patients who underwent scoliosis corrective surgery, collecting data on age, body mass index, preoperative and postoperative radiographic measurements, and 1-year postoperative quality of life assessments, including function, pain, self-image, and satisfaction scores from the SRS-22r questionnaire. Patients were categorized into subgroups based on age and the number of curves. The Spearman correlation test evaluated correlations between radiographic measures and SRS-22r domain scores across these subgroups. Results: Significant correlations were found between self-image and preoperative main apical vertebral translation (AVT), Cobb angle, and trunk shift, with stronger associations in EA than MA. Pain had a weak inverse correlation with the postoperative main Cobb angle, notably in the one-curve group and more strongly in EA. Satisfaction scores decreased with age and were lower in the two-curve group and EA. Conclusions: Cobb angle correction in AIS patients strongly correlates to postoperative self-image, particularly in Lenke type 2, 3, and 6. In Lenke type 1 and type 5, greater correction of the Cobb angle is associated with increased postoperative pain.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disease that commonly affects weight-bearing joints, such as the knee. A potential treatment is the intra-articular injection of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which may stimulate joint tissue regeneration, cartilage formation, and angiogenesis. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MSC therapy in moderate-to-severe knee OA.Methods: Literature searches were conducted using PubMed, Science Direct, Taylor and Francis, Google Scholar, Springer Link, Wiley, and the Garuda Portal. From the 644 identified articles, only seven randomized controlled trials published within the last 10 years met the inclusion criteria.Results: Five of the seven studies demonstrated significant reductions in pain based on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores following MSC injections. Four studies reported significant improvements in WOMAC scores, whereas one study showed no notable change. Adverse effects noted after injections included joint swelling, contusions, postprocedural hematomas, mild effusion, and injection site pain.Conclusions: Intra-articular MSC therapy shows potential for reducing pain and improving joint function in moderate-to-severe knee OA. Improvements in VAS and WOMAC scores suggest clinical benefits that can last up to 12–48 months post-treatment. MSC injections may be considered as a causal therapy in addition to symptomatic treatments, such as analgesics, to enhance patient quality of life.

Abstract

Background: Type III osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is very rare. In this article, we describe the clinical features and management of a case of type III osteogenesis imperfecta with a review of the literature.Case Report: A 5 – year - old girl presented with deformities of the bilateral lower and upper limbs. Posterior bowing of both humerus, cubitus varus deformity of both elbows, shepherd crook deformities of the femur, and anterolateral bowing of both legs were observed. She was unable to walk. Her face was triangular, and she had a kyphoscoliotic deformity of the spine. Radiographs showed osteopenia and multiple fractures at different stages of healing. The clinical and radiological findings were consistent with those of type III OI. She was treated by deformity correction of the right femur and tibia using the Sofield technique.Discussion: OI is a disorder caused by a mutation in type 1 collagen. It is characterized by increased bone fragility, dentigerous imperfecta, and generalized ligamentous laxity. There are 18 types of OI. We describe a case of type 3 OI in which the child developed deformity of the spine and limb at a later age without involvement of the sclera. Lower limb deformities were corrected using the Sofield technique of multiple osteotomies and intramedullary nailing. The implants were removed once the osteotomies were united. After implant removal, anterolateral bowing of the tibiae recurred.Conclusions: Long bone deformities can be managed using the Sofield technique. Long-term follow-up is essential for the early detection and correction of recurrence.
