The Impact of Baseline Negative Emotions on Postoperative Quality of Life in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients: A 2‐Year Follow‐Up Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Preoperative anxiety and depression do not affect the recovery of physical function in AIS patients after spinal correction surgery but significantly impede improvements in subjective quality of life dimensions, including mental health and treatment satisfaction.

Effects of Bracing in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis

New England Journal of Medicine, 2013
The role of bracing in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who are at risk for curve progression and eventual surgery is controversial.We conducted a multicenter study that included patients with typical indications for bracing due to their age, skeletal immaturity, and degree of scoliosis.

Galectin‐4: A Novel Mediator of Human Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Galectin‐4 correlates with intervertebral disc degeneration, independent of age, sex, or underlying pathology. Functionally, it activates NF‐κB signaling and induces pro‐inflammatory and matrix‐degrading responses, with stronger effects in nucleus pulposus cells, identifying it as a novel molecular player in disc degeneration.

Growth Plate Morphogens as Potential Modulators of Cellular Tissue Remodeling by Annulus Fibrosus Cells

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a spinal deformity of unknown etiology that begins in the intervertebral disc and emerges during pubertal growth. In the vertebral growth plate, adjacent to the disc, powerful growth plate morphogens (GPMs) modulate this growth. We evaluated whether GPMs can also alter the capacity of annulus

Fetal Pathogenesis of Scoliosis Suggested by Asymmetry of Gene Expression in Paravertebral Muscles

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The dysfunction of paravertebral muscles may contribute to the development of idiopathic scoliosis. Several candidate genes have been linked to scoliosis, but the underlying mechanisms and cell types remain unclear. Methods We initially included 40 idiopathic scoliosis cases and 19 controls. Muscle biopsies were obtained bilaterally
