Normative Values for Femoral Length, Tibial Length, and the Femorotibial Ratio in Adults Using Standing Full-Length Radiography

Stuart A. Aitken · 13 May 2021

Knowledge of the normal length and skeletal proportions of the lower limb is required as part of the evaluation of limb length discrepancy. When measuring limb length, modern standing full-length digital radiographs confer a level of clinical accuracy interchangeable with that of CT imaging. This study reports a set of normative values for lower limb…

Immunomodulatory Actions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) in Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Gangireddi Suresh Babu, Yelisetty Badrish, Vinit M Oswal et al. · 17 Nov 2021

The Role of Cathepsins in the Growth of Primary and Secondary Neoplasia in the Bone

The upregulation of proteolytic enzymes has been demonstrated to promote primary tumor development and metastatic bone cancer. The secreted proteases increase tumor growth and angiogenesis, and potentiate neoplastic cell dissemination. This article reviews the role and mechanisms of cathepsins in normal physiology, cancer, bone remodeling, and the tumor–bone interface, with a specific focus on cathepsins…
