Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo structural analysis of subchondral trabecular bone in osteoarthritis of the hip using multi-detector row CT.
TL;DR: Changes of subchondral trabecular bone structure in OA could be evaluated using MDCT, despite imperfect spatial resolution and limited accuracy, and may help to further elucidate OA pathogenesis, determine the therapeutic strategy, and evaluate therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoporotic changes of subchondral trabecular bone in osteoarthritis of the knee: a 3-T MRI study.
Ko Chiba,Masataka Uetani,Yasuo Kido,Masako Ito,Narihiro Okazaki,Kenji Taguchi,Hiroyuki Shindo +6 more
TL;DR: To more sensitively detect OA changes in subchondral trabecular bone structure, a focus on osteoporotic changes in the lateral joint and the medial-lateral ratio would be useful.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tibial condylar valgus osteotomy (TCVO) for osteoarthritis of the knee: 5-year clinical and radiological results.
TL;DR: Improvements in pain and activities of daily living were observed by TCVO along with valgus correction of the lower extremity and stabilization of the femorotibial joint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between microstructure and degree of mineralization in subchondral bone of osteoarthritis: A synchrotron radiation µCT study
TL;DR: The microstructure and degree of mineralization of the subchondral trabecular bone in hip osteoarthritis (OA) using synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SRCT) was analyzed to identify the relationship between bone structure and bone turnover.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneity of bone microstructure in the femoral head in patients with osteoporosis: An ex vivo HR-pQCT study
TL;DR: Significant heterogeneity of the trabecular bone microstructure in the OP femoral head was showed quantitatively in this study and may prove to provide useful information on clinical medicine such as hip surgeries.
