In regard to the mono‐segmental thoracic and lumbar nonfusion in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, we built a new classification system based on CT and MRI data and describe its clinical distribution characteristics and occurrence risk factors for the first time. ABSTRACT Study Design Retrospective cohort study.

While distal fusion to LTV‐1 on upright radiographs yields satisfactory outcomes in a certain proportion of AIS patients, we hypothesized that the relaxed spinal posture in supine position could facilitate a more conservative fusion strategy. This study therefore investigated the utility of supine imaging for LIV selection in Lenke‐5 AIS.

A two‐incision MI‐TLIF showed comparable outcomes to the traditional four‐incision approach in single‐level patients. Excessive pursuit of smaller or fewer incisions demonstrated no significant short‐term advantage. Reduced exposure may still help minimize wound complications in vulnerable groups, warranting further targeted follow‐up.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Abstract Chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD‐MBD) is a major complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by disruptions in mineral metabolism, abnormal bone turnover and vascular calcification, which collectively increase the risk of fractures and cardiovascular disease.
