To transculturally adapt the Neck Disability Index to Mexican Spanish (NDI-Mx) and to evaluate its psychometric properties. ⋯ The NDI-Mx seems to be a valid and reliable tool that can be used in clinical practice and research on Mexican populations with neck pain.

Review Meta Analysis
The association between vertebral endplate structural defects and back pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To clarify the current state of knowledge on the association of endplate structural defects and back pain. ⋯ Overall, there is moderate quality evidence of an association between back pain and endplate structural defects, which is most evident for erosion, sclerosis and Schmorl's nodes. Going forward, research on specific endplate defect phenotypes and back pain case definitions using strong study designs will be important in clarifying the extent of associations and underlying mechanisms. The study was prospectively registered in Prospero (CRD42020170835) on 02/24/2020.

With spinal deformities, mental health can deteriorate due to sagittal imbalance of the spine. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between sagittal imbalance and symptoms of depression among local residents in the community. ⋯ In local community residents, sagittal imbalance had a significant association with symptoms of depression.

Patient-Reported Measured Outcomes (PROMs) are essential to gain a full understanding of a patient's condition, and in spine surgery, these questionnaires are of help when tailoring a surgical strategy. Electronic registries allow for a systematic collection and storage of PROMs, making them readily available for clinical and research purposes. This study aimed to investigate the reliability between the electronic and paper form of ODI (Oswestry Disability Index), SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey 36) and COMI-back (Core Outcome Measures Index for the back) questionnaires. ⋯ This study proved an excellent reliability between the electronic and paper versions of ODI, SF-36 and COMI-back questionnaires collected using a spine registry. This validation paves the way for stronger widespread use of electronic PROMs. They offer numerous advantages in terms of accessibility, storage, and data analysis compared to paper questionnaires.

To explore 3D hip orientation in standing position in subjects with adult spinal deformity (ASD) presenting with different levels of compensatory mechanisms. ⋯ ASD subjects compensating with knee flexion have altered hip orientation, characterized by increased posterior coverage (acetabular anteversion, tilt and posterior coverage) and decreased anterior coverage which can together lead to posterior femoro-acetabular impingement, thus limiting pelvic retroversion. This underlying mechanism could be potentially involved in the hip-spine syndrome.
