Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Incidence, mode, and location of acute proximal junctional failures after surgical treatment of adult spinal deformity.
Multicenter, retrospective series. ⋯ APJFs were identified in 5.6% of patients undergoing surgical treatment of adult spinal deformity, with failures occurring primarily in the TL region of the spine. There is evidence that the mode of failure differs depending on the location of UIV, with TL failures more likely due to fracture and UT failures more likely due to soft-tissue failures.

Cross sectional population-based survey. ⋯ That the odds of seeking care are higher in fear-avoidant individuals, even when controlling for other established predictors, emphasizes the importance of addressing such beliefs during the consultation; public health education programs may serve to underpin the delivery of positive messages, ultimately reducing health care demands.

A genetic association study of the transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) gene with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) in Russian population. ⋯ This study, for the first time, highlights the importance of TGFB1 gene for the development and progress of AIS. We hypothesize several mechanisms by which the TGFB1 gene may contribute to spinal deformity in patients with AIS.
