Lumbar decompression surgery: What to know
Lumbar decompression surgery aims to release compressed nerves in the lower back. This procedure may ease pain and improve mobility in those with spinal conditions.
Segmental Instability
Segmental instability is a condition where the bones in your spine (vertebrae) move more than they should. This extra movement can cause pain and make it difficult to perform everyday activities. It usually occurs in the lower back (lumbar spine) but can happen in other parts of the spine too.
Stem cells: A new mechanical transducer
Scientists reveal how ETV4 controls stem cell differentiation in response to mechanical cues.
What to know about spinal stenosis surgery
Spinal stenosis is a condition that causes the spaces in the spine to become narrow. This can put pressure on the spinal cord. When the spaces in the spine narrow, it can create pressure on the spinal cord and any nearby nerve tissue.
Study shows high rates of hip osteoarthritis among older adults with spinal deformity
One-third of patients undergoing surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) also have severe osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip—which is associated with worse spinal alignment and physical functioning, reports a study in the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.
New way to generate human cartilage

The Pros and Cons of Ultrasound-Guided Injections
Ultrasound-guided injections allow healthcare providers to see the needle in real-time as it enters the body and is injected into a precise spot. Orthopedic surgeons often use injections to treat a variety of conditions. Commonly injected medications include cortisone, local anesthetics, and joint lubricants such as hyaluronic acid.
Leading Causes of Sciatica and Sciatic Nerve Pain
Sciatica is the name of the pain from when something—usually a herniated disc, but other causes are possible, too—compresses, irritates, or inflames the sciatic nerve or one of the nerve roots that eventually link up with the sciatic nerve. Translation: pain up and down your leg—you might feel it anywhere from your buttocks to your ankle.
Clinical applications of stem cell-derived exosomes
Although stem cell-based therapy has demonstrated considerable potential to manage certain diseases more successfully than conventional surgery, it nevertheless comes with inescapable drawbacks that might limit its clinical translation. Compared to stem cells, stem cell-derived exosomes possess numerous advantages, such as non-immunogenicity, non-infusion toxicity, easy access, effortless preservation, and freedom from tumorigenic potential and ethical issues.
