Study assesses if anterior lip displacement predicts complications in patients with tibial spine fractures

Young patients who undergo surgery for displaced tibial spine fractures and who had both an extension and flexion contracture, had 2.2 times the odds of having a complication compared to patients who did not have any contractures, according to research presented today at the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine's 2022 Annual Meeting.

Stem cell transplantation produces prolonged survival with improved safety in patients with AL amyloidosis

AL amyloidosis is a life-threatening disease related to bone marrow cancer, multiple myeloma. It is caused when a person's antibody-producing white blood cells (i.e. plasma cells) do not function properly and generate abnormal protein which misfolds to form amyloid fibrils and deposits made of components of antibodies called light chains, which then deposit in various organs of the body.
