Journal ArticleDOI
Relative anterior spinal overgrowth in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: RESULTS OF DISPROPORTIONATE ENDOCHONDRAL-MEMBRANOUS BONE GROWTH
TL;DR: The text for this EFG was written by Professor Jack Cheng and his colleagues who used whole spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to re-investigate the relative anterior spinal overgrowth of progressive AIS in a cross-sectional study and three new hypotheses are proposed to interpret their findings.

Relative anterior spinal overgrowth in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis--result of disproportionate endochondral-membranous bone growth? Summary of an electronic focus group debate of the IBSE.

Journal ArticleDOI
Balance control in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and disturbed somatosensory function
Xia Guo,Wai-Wang Chau,Christina W.Y. Hui-Chan,Catherine S. K. Cheung,William W.N. Tsang,Jack C. Y. Cheng +5 more
TL;DR: The finding of significantly larger difference in bilateral SSEP latencies in patients with A IS indicated the association of abnormal SSEPs with AIS, and the presence of abnormal somatosensory function in a subgroup of patientswith AIS.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between sarcopenia and fragility fracture-a systematic review.
Ronald Man Yeung Wong,Hiu Wun Wong,Ning Zhang,Simon Kwoon-Ho Chow,Wai-Wang Chau,Jiali Wang,Yu-Ning Chim,Kwok-Sui Leung,Wing-Hoi Cheung +8 more
TL;DR: There is a pressing need for further research on sarcopenia and its risk on fragility fracture to better understand the relationship, pathophysiology, and mechanisms, which may shed light on potential interventions to improve clinical outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological and functional electrophysiological evidence of relative spinal cord tethering in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Winnie C.W. Chu,Gene Chi Wai Man,Wynnie W.M. Lam,Benson H. Y. Yeung,Wai-Wang Chau,Bobby K. W. Ng,Tsz Ping Lam,Kwong-Man Lee,Jack C. Y. Cheng +8 more
TL;DR: This study suggests presence of tethering and increased tension along the longitudinal axis of spinal cord with associated morphologic changes of cross-sectional shape and relative position of the cord.
