Cervical Sagittal Alignment in Patients with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy An Observational Study From the Canadian Spine Outcomes and Research Network

Nathan Evaniew et al.

Summary: This prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the associations between preoperative cervical sagittal alignment and health-related quality of life, function, and symptoms in patients with CSM. The study also examined whether surgery leads to changes in cervical sagittal alignment and if postoperative alignment is associated with health-related outcomes at 12 months of follow-up. The results showed that increased cSVA and T1 slope were associated with inferior health-related quality of life at presentation among CSM patients. However, no significant associations were observed between alignment parameters or change in alignment and any measures of health-related quality of life, function, or symptoms at 12 months after surgery. The study suggests that maintaining or improving cervical sagittal alignment may not have a significant impact on patient outcomes following surgical treatment for CSM.

INTER AND INTRA-RATER RELIABILITY OF MEASURING PHOTOMETRIC CRANIOVERTEBRAL ANGLE USING A CLOUD-BASED VIDEO COMMUNICATION PLATFORM

Rylan Cote et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the inter- and intra-rater reliability of photometric craniovertebral angle measurement using a cloud-based video communication platform. The study found that craniovertebral angles were normally distributed in the sample, and acceptable levels of inter- and intra-rater reliability can be achieved when measuring CV angle in both relaxed and ideal postures using the platform.

Can C7 Slope Substitute the T1 Slope in Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients? A Radiographic Study

Yonggang Fan et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that C7 slope can be a reliable alternative measurement parameter for assessing idiopathic scoliosis, particularly when the upper endplate of T1 is not visible. Both upper and lower C7 slopes showed a close correlation with T1 slope, indicating their potential usage for sagittal balance assessment.

Relationships between forward head posture and lumbopelvic sagittal alignment in older adults with chronic low back pain

Aliaa M. Elabd et al.

Summary: Abnormal spinopelvic posture is related to chronic mechanical low back pain, with strong positive correlations found between lumbar lordosis and both pain intensity and sacral slope, and significant associations observed among pain intensity, forward head posture, and lumbopelvic sagittal alignment in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain. The study suggests that demographic data and measured variables have a significant effect on predicting pain in multi-regression equations, explaining 76.60% of the variation in pain.

Analyzing the Significance of T1 Slope minus Cervical Lordosis in Patients with Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Surgery

Ho Jin Lee et al.

Summary: The study aimed to explore the limitations of measuring T1 slope and its relationship with other factors. The results indicated that C2s may be the essential key to represent T1s-CL, with similar amounts and directions of change between the two factors, which was further confirmed through a strong correlation analysis.
