Review Meta Analysis
School-based interventions for spinal pain: a systematic review.
Systematic review. ⋯ The poor quality of the reviewed studies limits the conclusions that can be made regarding the effectiveness of school-based spinal health interventions.

Comparative Study
An evaluation of image-guided technologies in the placement of percutaneous iliosacral screws.
A surgical simulation study in human cadaver spine specimens was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of 3 different surgical navigation systems compared to standard fluoroscopy in the percutaneous placement of iliosacral screws. ⋯ Computer-assisted fluoroscopy based image navigation appears to be more accurate than standard fluoroscopy in placing these screws. However, errors may occur with all techniques. Further refinement in registration procedures may highly improve the accuracy of percutaneous screw placement in a variety of spinopelvic procedures.

Case Reports
Segmental spinal dysgenesis: case report of a 50-year follow-up after surgery at age 3 years: case report.
Case report with ultra long-term follow-up. ⋯ Arthrodesis at age 3 years provided an optimal ultra long-term follow-up.

Comparative Study
Auditory startle alters the response of human subjects exposed to a single whiplash-like perturbation.
Human volunteers were exposed to a single whiplash-like perturbation. ⋯ An acoustic startle alters the neck muscle and kinematic responses and may be as important as gender in the genesis of whiplash injury.
