Bone health in adults with non‐ambulatory neuromuscular disorders: scoping review of risk factors, diagnosis and management

Internal Medicine Journal, Volume 56, Issue 8, Page 1283-1300, August 2026.
Abstract Background Non‐ambulatory adults have an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures due to reduced weight‐bearing and diminished neuromuscular stimulation, resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality. Aims This scoping review aimed to systematically evaluate risk factors, diagnostic indicators and management strategies for optimising ...

Newly identified intervertebral fat pad degenerates after intervertebral disc injury in a rat model of degeneration

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 435-444, August 2026.
This study characterizes a newly‐described intervertebral fat pad (IVFP) anterior to rat IVDs, with evidence for its existence in mice and human IVDs as well. In rats, the IVFP gradually degenerated following IVD injury with changes in adipocyte size and fibrous tissue infiltration, suggesting it could play a functional role in IVD health and ...

Clinical Study of Ultrasound‐Guided Modified Percutaneous Endoscopic Interlaminar Discectomy Combined With Medical Chitosan in Lumbar 4–5 Disc Herniation Treatment

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 8, Page 1649-1659, August 2026.
Ultrasound‐guided PEID plus medical chitosan can effectively reduce postoperative pain and perioperative complications, demonstrating superior clinical efficacy. ABSTRACT Objective Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is a preferred minimally invasive surgery for lumbar disc herniation (LDH); however, postoperative recurrence, nerve root ...

Systematic Review of Paraspinal Muscle Changes in Lumbar Spondylolisthesis: MRI and CT Insights

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 8, Page 1563-1573, August 2026.
Paraspinal muscle degeneration, especially multifidus atrophy and fat infiltration (FI), contributes to spinal instability and spondylolisthesis progression. Reduced multifidus area and increased FI correlate with instability, while compensatory erector spinae hypertrophy is often observed, particularly in isthmic cases, highlighting the need for ...

Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Monosegmental Minimally Invasive Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for High‐Grade Spondylolisthesis: A 3‐Year Observational Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 8, Page 1591-1600, August 2026.
In this study, we performed two approaches of MIS‐TLIF and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation to offer safe and effective treatment of high‐grade spondylolisthesis with satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes. ABSTRACT Objective High‐grade isthmic spondylolisthesis remains surgically controversial, and evidence on minimally invasive, single ...

Temporal Evolution and Stationary Point Mechanisms of Pelvic Characteristic Angles Throughout the Sit‐to‐Stand Cycle

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 8, Page 1688-1699, August 2026.
Dynamic motion‐capture and musculoskeletal simulation of stand‐to‐sit reveal nonlinear pelvic kinematics in healthy subjects. Pelvic tilt and sacral slope show synchronized mid‐cycle turning points, strongly linked to center‐of‐gravity transitions. These dynamic features, absent in static radiographs, may refine functional acetabular safe zones to ...

Comparative Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Arthroscopic‐Assisted Uniportal Spinal Surgery Versus Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy for Unilateral Laminotomy With Bilateral Decompression in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A 2‐Year Follow‐Up Study

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 8, Page 1613-1622, August 2026.
This study compares two minimally invasive techniques, arthroscopic‐assisted uniportal spinal surgery (AUSS) and unilateral biportal endoscopy (UBE), for treating lumbar spinal stenosis using unilateral laminotomy with bilateral decompression (ULBD). Over a 2‐year follow‐up, perioperative outcomes, patient‐reported improvement, and radiological changes,
