Discovery of Lijianmin-Chengkun Complexes and Their Oncological Application in Osseous and Intraarticular Lesions Around the Knee

Objective: This research aims to refresh the limited understanding about the canal and vascular structures within the epiphysis and metaphysis of the tibia and femur and their oncological significance.Methods: This study was started with characterization of a novel structure using radiographs and an...
