Lumbar lordosis of extinct hominins

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2011
AbstractThe lordotic curvature of the lumbar spine (lumbar lordosis) in humans is a critical component in the ability to achieve upright posture and bipedal gait. Only general estimates of the lordotic angle (LA) of extinct hominins are currently available, most of which are based on the wedging of the vertebral bodies.

Clinical Characteristics and a New Classification System of Mono‐Segmental Thoracic and Lumbar Nonfusion in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
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.

Selection of the Lowest Instrumented Vertebra in Lenke‐5 AIS: A Case Study With at Least 5‐Year Follow‐Up

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
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.

Is Pedicle‐Screw Internal Fixation With Two Small Incisions Superior to Traditional MI‐TLIF With Four Incisions? Preliminary Follow‐Up Results

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
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.

Designing a New Method for Measuring Lumbar Lordosis

open access: yesMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Qum, 2015
Background and Objectives: Given that the lumbar region is an area of great importance in the spinal cord, and any deviation in its curvature and surrounding soft tissues is one of the major causes of back pain; therefore, existence of a valid and ...

Analysis of Risk Factors for Adjacent Segment Disease After Lumbar Facet Joint Fusion

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
This schematic illustrates a novel posterior lumbar fusion procedure targeting L4–L5 segments, with emphasis on the position of split bone and the precise site of bone grafting. Featuring “active generation + real‐time verification” and intact posterior tension band, this technique achieves precise segmental lordosis restoration with enhanced ...
