A prospective interventional trial, using a rat model of lumbar interbody fusion. ⋯ Our study suggests that using PRP with HA was beneficial for spine fusion. This combination may promote bone union and also decrease inflammatory neuropeptide in sensory neurons innervating the discs.

Cross-sectional baseline data set on the sagittal standing posture of 1196 adolescents. ⋯ The orientation of gross body segments with respect to the gravity line seems superior to local spinopelvic features in terms of clinical importance, at least in the current pre-PHV cohort. Opportunities may exist for postural subgrouping strategies to begin with global alignment parameters in order to gain further insight into the relationship between sagittal alignment and the relative risk of developing spinal pain/seeking medical consultation for this pain.

A risk factor analysis study. ⋯ Both LIV selection and ratio of MT: TL/L curve were found to be highly correlated with the onset of postoperative trunk shift in Lenke 1C scoliosis. Amount of correction obtained by surgery, however, did not seem to be an independent causative factor. Postoperative trunk shift is less likely to occur when selecting LEV as LIV and the ratio of MT: TL/L Cobb angle of 1.2° or more.
