Mashup Score: 1Unilateral thoracic spinal nerve resection creates early onset thoracic scoliosis in an immature porcine model | European Spine Journal - 11 month(s) ago
PurposeTo test whether multiple-level unilateral thoracic spinal nerves (TSN) resection can induce the initial thoracic cage deformity to cause early onset thoracic scoliosis in an immature porcine model; and 2) to create an early onset thoracic scoliosis in a large animal model that can

Mashup Score: 0The role of intraoperative extensor digitorum brevis muscle MEPs in spinal surgery | European Spine Journal - 11 month(s) ago
PurposeIntraoperative muscle motor evoked potentials (m-MEPs) are widely used in spinal surgery with the aim of identifying a damage to spinal cord at a reversible stage. Generally, lower limb m-MEPs are recorded from abductor hallucis [AH] and the tibialis anterior [TA].

Purpose Low back pain (LBP) impairs the quality of life and rises healthcare costs. The association of spine degeneration and LBP with metabolic disorders have been reported, previously. However, metabolic processes related with spine degeneration remained unclear. We aimed to analyze whether serum thyroid hormones, parathormone, calcium, and vitamin D levels were associated with lumbar…

Mashup Score: 0Mechanical complications and reoperations after adult spinal deformity surgery: a clinical analysis with the GAP score - European Spine Journal - 1 year(s) ago
Purpose Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery is prone to postoperative complications, leading to high reoperation rates. The global alignment and proportion (GAP) score is a novel method to predict mechanical complications (MC) based on the optimal parameters related to individual pelvic incidence. The aim of this study was to determine the cut-off point and the predictive value of the GAP score…

Purpose The aim of this study is to evaluate the factors that affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in untreated adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients in adulthood. We investigate the effect of clinical and radiological parameters on the SRS-22 results. Methods A total of 286 untreated adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients at adult age between April 2021 and April 2022 who…

Purpose To evaluate the motion-preserving properties of vertebral body tethering with varying cord/screw constructs and cord thicknesses in cadaveric thoracolumbar spines. Methods In vitro flexibility tests were performed on six fresh-frozen human cadaveric spines (T1-L5) (2 M, 4F) with a median age of 63 (59-to-80). An ± 8 Nm load was applied to determine range of motion (ROM) in…

Objectives The present study aimed to estimate the trunk muscles moment-arms in low back pain (LBP) patients and compare this data to those of healthy individuals. This research further explored whether the difference of the moment-arms between these two is a contributing factor to LBP. Methodology Fifty patients with CLBP (group A) and 25 healthy controls (group B) were enrolled. All…
