The anterior tibial artery is located in the lower leg, running from the popliteal fossa just behind the knee down along the tibia and fibula, the major bones of the lower leg. It is a branch of the ...

We induced PTOA in mice using a non-invasive tibial compression model of anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR). Single cell RNA-seq and flow cytometry were used to assess immune cell populations ...

Anterior tibialis exercises can help correct "foot drop," a condition that can lead to an abnormal high-stepping gait. The most common causes of foot drop are peroneal nerve injury and lumbar ...

STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the fate of posterior osteophytes after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) using computed tomography. SUMMARY OF ...

Asymptomatic osteophytes of the anterior margins of the cervical vertebrae may occur in 20-30% of the population. Occasionally, dysphagia or dysphonia may be caused by such cervical osteophytes ...

This week we are going to discuss bone spurs or osteophytes of the foot and ankle. Many patients present to physical therapy with a diagnosis of bone spurs in the foot and ankle, particularly in ...

“Stem cells have the ability to migrate in the body after injection. It’s possible that migration of cells out of the disc could have deleterious effects (e.g., osteophyte formation) on vertebral ...
