Spinopelvic alignment and lumbar vertebral shape in children: associations with structural spinal abnormalities and body composition in the generation R study

Marleen M. van den Heuvel et al.

Summary: This study found that in 9-year-old children, the mean pelvic incidence is 36.6 degrees and the lumbar vertebrae are slightly concave. Spinopelvic alignment is associated with structural spinal abnormalities and may be influenced by children's body composition.

Efficacy of Hounsfield Units Measured by Lumbar Computer Tomography on Bone Density Assessment: A Systematic Review

Eduardo Moreira Pinto et al.

Summary: This study compared the Hounsfield units (HU) value obtained from computed tomography and the t score of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in predicting lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD). The results showed the potential of using CT measurements of HU to establish a threshold value for diagnosing osteoporosis. However, large-scale prospective studies are needed to confirm the reliability of CT-based BMD quantification and the prognostic value of CT evaluation.

Coronal Plane Gap Increases Postoperative Pseudoarthrosis after Lateral Interbody Fusion for Adult Spinal Deformity

Eijiro Okada et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the risk factors for pseudoarthrosis after LIF cage placement in adult spinal deformity treatment. The gap between the LIF cage and endplate in the coronal plane was found to be significantly associated with pseudoarthrosis at the LIF segments. The fusion rate using LIF cages at 12 months after surgery was 71.4%, with higher fusion rates seen on the concave slot filled with autologous iliac crest bone graft compared to the convex slot filled with a porous HAp/Col composite.

Stand-Alone Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Using an Additive Manufactured Individualized Bioactive Porous Titanium Implant without Bone Graft: Results of a Prospective Clinical Trial

Shunsuke Fujibayashi et al.

Summary: This study introduced a patient-specific bioactive porous titanium implant manufactured via selective laser melting for stand-alone anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). The implant showed successful bony union in the majority of patients, significant improvement in clinical parameters post-surgery, and no adverse effects related to the implant.

Correlation of Osteoporosis in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes: A Retrospective Study in Chinese Population

Yuhua Wen et al.

Summary: The study found that age, BMI, and menopausal status are common risk factors for osteoporosis in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients, while TRACP-5b, BALP, and osteocalcin are special risk factors for osteoporosis in newly diagnosed T2DM patients.
