Spine
-
A prospective, anatomical imaging study of healthy volunteer subjects in accurate surgical positions. ⋯ Level II-prospective anatomical cohort study.
-
Retrospective diagnostic study. ⋯ Level III.
-
Retrospective review of an adult deformity database. ⋯ T10PA was used to determine functional alignment, an alignment based on PI and age-appropriate physical function. Correcting patients to functional alignment produced improvements in clinical outcomes, with the lowest rates of PJK. This patient-specific approach to spinal alignment provides adult spinal deformity correction targets that can be used intraoperatively.

Spine MRI Identifies Clinically Relevant Findings in Patients with Cancer Presenting with Back Pain.
This is a retrospective, cross-sectional study. ⋯ Our findings suggest imaging the total spine in cancer patients with back pain given higher odds of identifying malignant pathology and instances of capturing otherwise not visualized disease. Further work is warranted to confirm these findings.
