The purpose was to analyze how rod characteristics, screw density and cages influence the incidence of mechanical complications compared to patient-related factors and alignment in adult spinal deformity instrumented T9-T11 to pelvis. ⋯ 3-Retrospective register study.

Aims to establish the superiority of our proposed model over the state-of-the-art vertebra-focused landmark detection network (VFLDNet) in automating Cobb angle estimation from spinal radiographs. ⋯ Our model emerges as the superior choice for automated Cobb angle estimation, particularly in assessing major curve and moderate to severe scoliosis, underscoring its potential to revolutionize clinical workflows and enhance patient care.

To propose a novel classification system for stratifying coronal curve patterns in congenital cervicothoracic scoliosis with hemivertebrae (CTS-HV). ⋯ This novel reliable classification allows a better understanding of structural diversity and different coronal compensatory mechanisms for the natural progression of CTS-HV. It can contribute to determining the individualized treatment strategy and standardizing academic communication for this rare clinical entity.

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.

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.
