Predictive role of cytokine gene polymorphisms for the development of femoral head osteonecrosis
(2012)
Introduction: Osteonecrosis (ON) is a multifactorial disease that leads to hip destruction. Lately, much focus has been at femoral head preservation with nonsurgical methods. In this study we examined the polymorphisms of ...
Expression profile of osteoprotegerin, RANK and RANKL genes in the femoral head of patients with avascular necrosis
(2014)
Introduction: Femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN) is a recalcitrant disease of the hip that leads to joint destruction. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor kappa-B (RANK) and RANK ligand (RANKL) ...
An Association Study between Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1alpha (HIF-1 alpha) Polymorphisms and Osteonecrosis
(2013)
Bone hypoxia resulting from impaired blood flow is the final pathway for the development of osteonecrosis (ON). The aim of this study was to evaluate if HIF-1 alpha, the major transcription factor triggered by hypoxia, is ...
Vascularized Bone Grafting and Distal Radius Osteotomy for Scaphoid Nonunion Advanced Collapse
(2014)
Purpose To determine the outcome of an alternative treatment for wrists with stages I to III scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse using a closing-wedge osteotomy of the distal radius and a vascularized bone graft for scaphoid ...
