  • 2023 - Research.com Medicine in Japan Leader Award

Overview

Hideki Yoshikawa is a researcher affiliated with Osaka University in Japan. Their scholarly contributions primarily focus on Medicine, with specific work in Surgery, Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Rheumatology, Oncology, and Molecular Biology. The research topics extensively cover areas related to Orthopaedic implants and arthroplasty, Bone and Joint Diseases, Bone health and osteoporosis research, Knee injuries and reconstruction techniques, Bone health and treatments, Total Knee Arthroplasty Outcomes, and Spine and Intervertebral Disc Pathology.

Yoshikawa has published in several scientific venues, with frequent contributions to the Journal of Orthopaedic Science, Scientific Reports, Journal of Orthopaedic Research®, Bone, and Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism. Some of the recent papers include:

  • In vivo dynamic analysis of BMP-2-induced ectopic bone formation, 2020, Scientific Reports
  • Utility of Distal Forearm DXA as a Screening Tool for Primary Osteoporotic Fragility Fractures of the Distal Radius, 2020, JBJS Open Access
  • Resting-state Amplitude of Low-frequency Fluctuation is a Potentially Useful Prognostic Functional Biomarker in Cervical Myelopathy, 2020, Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research
  • Different effects of the lateral meniscus complete radial tear on the load distribution and transmission functions depending on the tear site, 2020, Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy
  • Comparison of Short-Term Radiographical and Clinical Outcomes After Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion With a 3D Porous Titanium Alloy Cage and a Titanium-Coated PEEK Cage, 2020, Global Spine Journal

Frequent collaborators in Yoshikawa's publications include Kosuke Ebina, Ken Nakata, Makoto Hirao, Masafumi Kashii, and Hidetatsu Outani. These collaborations reflect multidisciplinary approaches within orthopaedics and related medical fields.

The research topics indicate a focus on conditions affecting bone structure, joint function, and orthopedic surgical outcomes. Studies involving bone morphogenetic proteins, osteoporosis screening techniques, and spinal surgery outcomes suggest an interest in both clinical applications and basic scientific mechanisms.
