Article Abstract
During the clinical examination of subjects with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), the dentist sometimes must evaluate the cervical spine, due to the anatomical and functional connections between the cervical portion of the spine and the stomatognathic apparatus. The accelerometer is a device that evaluates the Range of Motion (ROM) of the main movements of the head on the neck. To date, only a few studies have investigated the repeatability of the use of the accelerometer in the assessment of cervical ROM. Therefore, the present longitudinal observational study analyzed the repeatability of acquired cervical movements on a sample of volunteer subjects who underwent accelerometer testing. A sample of 32 subjects was tested twice within 14 days to assess cervical ROM using a standardized protocol based on a review of existing literature. The results show that the examination is reliable for all the positions of the jaw, except for the parameters regarding the asymmetries of rotation and bending. In conclusion, the accelerometer can be considered a reliable tool for evaluating the active cervical ROM. However, further studies will be necessary to make better evaluations.

Clinical efficacy comparison of internal fixation of locking compression plate and cannulated screw in treatment of elderly femoral neck fractures-a retrospective study.
Front Surg
August 2025
The First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine, Yuhua District, Changsha, Hunan, China.
Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of internal fixation of locking compression plate and Cannulated Screw in treatment of elderly femoral neck fractures.
Methods: 175 patients with femoral neck fractures admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to December 2022 were enrolled in the study. 93 cases in the control group were treated with Cannulated Screw internal fixation, and 82 cases in the observation group were treated with locking plate internal fixation.
Effect of Kinetic Control Training and McKenzie's Approach on Pain and Mobility in Cervical Derangement Syndrome: A Comparative Study.

Background: Cervical derangement syndrome (CDS), a form of mechanical neck pain, arises from poor posture, repetitive stress, and segmental dysfunction, resulting in discomfort, restricted cervical mobility, and reduced functional capacity. The study focuses on changes associated with CDS, particularly range of motion (ROM), pain, and functional disability. The study aims to find the effect of kinetic control training (KCT) and the McKenzie approach on CDS.

Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, China.
Purpose: To compare the long-term clinical outcomes and radiographic findings between hybrid surgery (HS) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for three-level cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD). And the incidence, prognosis, and potential risk factors of heterotopic ossification (HO) more than 10 years after Bryan prosthesis replacement in HS has been explored.
Methods: From January 2007 to December 2014, a total of 46 patients who underwent either HS (n = 26) or ACDF (n = 20) for consecutive three-level CDDD were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common complication following hip arthroplasty that can limit hip range of motion (ROM). Oral direct factor Xa (FXa) inhibitors are commonly used anticoagulants after arthroplasty; however, they have a high risk of local bleeding and hematoma formation, which are significant triggers for HO formation. To our knowledge, there is no evidence regarding whether FXa inhibitors will increase HO incidence following hip arthroplasty.

Department of Spinal Surgery, Ningbo No.6 Hospital, Ningbo 315040, Zhejiang, China.
Objective: To establish a two-segment vertebrectomy model using the finite element method, and to measure and compare the biomechanical properties of the lower cervical anterior transpedicular root screw (ATPRS) plate system, lower cervical anterior pedicle screw (ATPS) plate system, and lower cervical anterior cervical locked-plate (ACLP) system on this model.
Methods: CT data of the cervical spine (C-T) from a 34-year-old healthy adult male volunteer were collected. A nonlinear complete model of the lower cervical spine (C-C) was established using Mimics 10.
