Cervical spinal cord morphometrics in degenerative cervical myelopathy: quantification using semi-automated normalized technique and correlation with neurological dysfunctions
To characterize morphometrics of the compressed spinal cord in DCM patients, we employed our semiautomated analysis framework that incorporates the Spinal Cord Toolbox (SCT) and a normalization approach to effectively address the challenges posed by cord compression in these patients.

Comparison of cost and complications of primary total hip arthroplasty versus oncologic proximal femur replacement
Proximal femur replacement (PFR) is most performed after a large resection of the proximal femur to remove tumor and is known to have high complication rates and worse function than a primary total hip replacement (THA).

Three-dimensional-printed femoral diaphysis for biomechanical testing—Optimization and validation
This study explores the use of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to create polylactic acid (PLA) models of human femoral diaphyses for biomechanical testing. By optimizing printing parameters such as infill density, wall layers, and resolution, the research successfully emulates the flexural biomechanical response of normal human femur bones. The findings demonstrate that these cost-effective and reproducible 3D-printed models could serve as valuable resources for surgeons and researchers, providing a promising alternative for biomechanical studies.
