Advances in Research of Degenerative Orthopedic Conditions: from Basic to Clinical Research
Degenerative orthopedic conditions are the gradual loss of the structure and function of cartilage and bone, which are mainly manifested in joints, spine and bone quality, such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, cervical spondylosis, spinal stenosis, degenerative spondylolisthesis, bone hyperplasia and painful heel. Currently, 10% of medical practices worldwide are related to degenerative orthopedic conditions. Although there have been significant improvements in the treatment of degenerative orthopedic conditions, including drugs, surgical techniques and perioperative care, there are still various deficiencies in these treatments. New therapeutic strategies are also emerging, including improvements in preoperative assessment to better estimate a patient's individual risk, and improvements in imaging and virtual planning to surgically eradicate the site of the lesion with greater precision. A large number of experimental studies have focused on the etiology, pathogenesis, animal models and treatment methods of orthopedic degenerative conditions, providing the possibility to discover new therapeutic methods.
