PURPOSE: People who seek more care for low back pain (LBP) tend to experience poorer recovery (e.g. higher pain and disability levels). Understanding the factors associated with care-seeking for LBP might improve patient outcomes and potentially alleviate the burden of LBP on global health systems. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between different intensities, volumes, and domains of physical activity and care-seeking behaviours, in people with a history of LBP. METHODS: Longitudinal data from adult twins were drawn from the AUstralian Twin BACK study...

PURPOSE: It has been suggested that the cause of the balance disorder seen in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) originates from the central nervous system. However, the extent of the balance problem and the dysfunction of which part of the central nervous system has not been investigated in detail. This study aimed to correlate the values obtained by balance analysis and cerebellum volume measurement in female individuals with AIS with healthy individuals. METHODS: Cerebellum volume was calculated via the cloud-based software " https://volbrain...

PURPOSE: The number of articles retracted by peer-reviewed journals has increased in recent years. This study systematically reviews retracted publications in the spine surgery literature. METHODS: A search of PubMed MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Retraction Watch, and the independent websites of 15 spine surgery-related journals from inception to September of 2022 was performed without language restrictions. PRISMA guidelines were followed with title/abstract screening, and full-text screening was conducted independently and in duplicate by two reviewers...

PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to investigate several potential imaging biomarkers of CLBP that may be useful for diagnosis and treatment efficacy evaluation. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H-MRS) was used to detect the content and ratio of creatine (Cr), choline (Cho), and lipid (Lip) in the multifidus muscle (Mm) in patients with CLBP and to test for relationships between these metabolites and pain severity and duration. METHODS: Sixty patients with CLBP (experimental group) and sixty-nine asymptomatic volunteers (control group) underwent routine diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine...

PURPOSE: Our aim was to develop a nationwide, computer-based, Spine Register (FinSpine) for monitoring surgical activity, quality of surgery, long-term outcomes, and effectiveness of treatment. In this paper, we describe our experiences in the development and implementation of the register. METHODS: The register was developed by a steering group, consisting of orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons from the whole country. We strived to develop a register which would be in active use by spine surgeons and enable collection of Patient Reported Outcome and Experience Measures (PROMs and PREMs) automatically and prospectively...

BACKGROUND: Adaptations of dynamic balance performance are related to sway excursions in older adults with chronic low back pain (LBP). However, there is a lack of understanding on postural control within different thresholds of radius from the center of pressure (COP).

PURPOSE: Hounsfield unit (HU) measurements and vertebral bone quality (VBQ) scores are opportunistic screening methods for evaluating bone quality. Since studies comparing the efficacies of the two methods are rare, this retrospective study aimed to examine the efficacy of VBQ scores compared with that of HU measurements for diagnosing osteoporosis in lumbar spine surgery patients. METHODS: We selected patients who had undergone spinal surgery between January 2020 and May 2022 from our database...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine whether MRI texture analysis could predict the prognosis of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted on 100 patients with non-specific chronic low back pain, who underwent a conventional MRI, followed by rehabilitation treatment, and revisited after 6 months.

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are at increased risk of infections and suffer from poor bone quality due to their disseminated malignant bone disease. Therefore, postoperative complications may occur following surgical treatment of MM lesions.

INTRODUCTION: Estimated postoperative survival is an important consideration during the decision-making process for patients with spinal metastases. Nutritional status has been associated with poor outcomes and limited survival in the general cancer population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive utility of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) for postoperative mortality after spinal metastasis surgery. METHODS: A total of 139 patients who underwent oncologic surgery for spinal metastases between April 2012 and August 2022 and had a minimum 90-day follow-up were included...

PURPOSE: While the etiopathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains unclear, it is assumed that muscular asymmetries contribute to curve progression. As previous studies have found asymmetries of the thoracic paraspinal muscles in AIS patients, our study's aim was to analyze differences in the erector spinae, multifidus, quadratus lumborum, and psoas muscles of the lumbar spine depending on the curve's radiographic characteristics. METHODS: We retrospectively included all patients who received posterior reposition spondylodesis for AIS treatment at our institution...

INTRODUCTION: Instrumentation using the intraoperative O-arm navigation technique appears safer than its predecessor techniques. However, only a handful of surgeons often used navigation during spinal surgeries. Too many operative glitches and unreliable navigation accuracy were the important reasons cited even by experienced surgeons for not using spinal navigation. We have studied the accuracy of pedicle screw placement during the learning curve and beyond it. We have also discussed in detail the intricacies of the technique and solutions to the difficulties encountered using spinal navigation...
