The U‐rod technique combined with cortical bone trajectory screws is a safe and effective method for the treatment of lumbar spondylolysis. ABSTRACT Objective Spondylolysis is a common cause of low back pain, especially in the young athletic population. It involves a defect, either unilateral or bilateral, of the pars interarticularis.

This study designed a novel anterolateral screw placement technique and, based on this, developed a new anterolateral fixation method. Imaging, biomechanical, and short‐term efficacy analyses revealed that the Anterolateral Transpedicular Transverse Process Screw (ALTTS) technique achieves a high success rate for L5 vertebral fixation (pedicle width ...

Endoscopic‐Assisted Posterior Atlantoaxial Fusion: Technical Innovation and Clinical Experience
Endoscopic‐assisted posterior atlantoaxial lateral mass fusion is introduced as a novel minimally invasive technique for treating atlantoaxial instability. The approach enables direct visualization, precise fixation, and effective bone fusion while minimizing muscle dissection, blood loss, and postoperative pain, achieving rapid neurological and ...

Segmental Infantile Hemangiomas That Involve the Midline Define Risk for LUMBAR Syndrome
ABSTRACT A systematic review of clinical photographs from 91 patients with LUMBAR syndrome demonstrated that infantile hemangiomas in affected individuals were consistently segmental in morphology and involved the anatomic midline of the lumbosacral, sacrococcygeal, or pelvic regions. No cases were “partial segmental” or spared the midline.
