We have several research groups which independently persisting their own orthopaedic basic projects. Representative research themes of each group are as follows
Joint Group :
・Cohort study of hip fracture patients
・Molecular mechanisms underlying cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis
・Development of artificial ligament
・Growth and differentiation signaling, and regulatory mechanisms underlying cartilage and rotator cuff tear
Spine Group :
・Molecular mechanisms underlying osteoporosis development
・Molecular mechanisms of degeneration and hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum in lumber canal stenosis
Molecular mechanisms underlying ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament
Oncology Group :
・Molecular mechanisms underlying osteosarcoma development
