Imminent new vertebral fracture (NVF) is highly prevalent after vertebral augmentation (VA). An accurate assessment of the imminent risk of NVF could help to develop prompt treatment strategies. ⋯ Radiomic and machine learning modeling based on T2W images of preoperative lumbar MRI had an excellent ability to evaluate the imminent risk of NVF after VA.

To review and describe the development, methods and cohort of the lumbosacral part of the Norwegian registry for spine surgery (NORspine). ⋯ NORspine is a well-designed population-based comprehensive national clinical quality registry. The register's methods ensure appropriate data for quality surveillance and improvement, and research.

To compare radiological outcome, complications and reoperations in individuals with cerebral palsy and scoliosis fused to the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5), the sacrum, or the ilia. ⋯ Maintained curve and pelvic obliquity correction with no significant difference in complication and reoperation rates were found irrespective of distal fusion level.

Adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) is a 3D deformity that greatly affects the quality of life of patients and is closely related to the quality of paraspinal muscles (PSMs), but the specific degenerative characteristics have not been described. ⋯ There were significant differences in the MV and FI of PSM on both sides of the spine in ADS patients. It was determined that the PSM of ADS showed different degrees of degeneration in different levels of the lumbar spine and were positively correlated with Cobb angle.
