Spondylosis is an ailing state
of the vertebrae, the bony blocks of the spine, which become fixed and
stiff as the resultant of some diseases. Osteophytes i.e. bone spurs,
and intervertebral degeneration makes debilitating changes in the spine,
which condition is known as Spondylosis. Changes occurring in the spine
due to Spondylosis are known as Osteoarthritis also. There are certain
conditions of this state, in the wake of which, some chronic and
agonizing developments may occur. Spine is an organ, which cannot be
transplanted like heart, liver or kidneys. Therefore caution has to be
rendered while dealing with Spondylosis. The vertebrae, discs and spinal
cord have a synchronized performance, the equilibrium of which will
badly be affected in the case of Spondylosis.
Arthrodesis May Be Better Indicated After Failed TAR Than Re-Arthroplasty
Globally there has been a trend towards increased use of total
ankle arthroplasty. This is partly due to an increase in the severity of
ankle injuries sustained from either physical activity, or from
degenerative diseases like arthritis and partly due to technological
advancements in the field. With this increase, there comes an inevitable
increase in the need to revise the prostheses, with component exchange
and revision procedures often considered.
Single DMARD Use May Be As Effective As, Safer Than Combination Therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis
When it comes to rheumatoid arthritis, early treatment is key. As a

process of curbing progression, relieving inflammation and limiting
joint damage from the start. Unfortunately, one of the primary therapies
used for this condition comes with several side effects and is not
effective for some patients.
