This study aimed to investigate the application of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging of paraspinal muscles in assessing the young CNLBP with unilateral symptom. ⋯ The combination of T2 value and FF may provide deeper insights into the pathological alterations of paraspinal muscles in young CNLBP, providing an important imaging basis for clinical judgment and preventive treatment of non-painful side in unilateral symptomatic patients.

The aim of this study was to identify associated risk factors of distal adding-on phenomenon in Lenke 1A/B and 2A/B adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients and establish the corresponding prediction model. ⋯ This study established a prediction model with adding-on in Lenke 1A/B and 2A/B AIS patients. The nomogram contains five predictive variables, which can effectively predict the probability of adding-on phenomenon during follow-up, and may have greater clinical value for the treatment and prevention of adding-on phenomenon.

Stigma is the negative attitudes towards an illness or difference. The literature lacks detailed scales specifically addressing stigmatization in AIS. This study aimed to develop Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Stigma Assessment Scale (AIS-SAS) to measure stigmatization in AIS patients. ⋯ AIS-SAS is the first valid and reliable high-quality scale assessing stigmatization from AIS, measuring scoliosis, brace, and surgery-related stigma via three subscales.

Adjacent vertebral fracture (AVF) is a frequent complication following percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA). While radiomics is widely utilized in the field of spinal medicine, its application for assessing the risk of AVF in post-PVA patients remains limited. ⋯ Radiomics and machine learning modeling using postoperative CT images demonstrate noteworthy capability in assessing the risk of AVF following PVA.

Case Reports
Isolated vertebral bone infarction following lumbar artery embolization- a case report.
To report a rare case of isolated lumbar vertebral body infarction following lumbar artery embolization for suspected retroperitoneal haemorrhage. ⋯ This unique case underscores the importance of considering vertebral body infarction as a potential complication following lumbar artery embolization. MRI was critical in early detection of the bone infarction, while CT confirmed the presence of embolization material. Awareness of this rare complication is crucial for prompt diagnosis and management.
