Scoliosis Surgery in a Patient With Advanced Friedreich's Ataxia—It Is Not Too Late
ABSTRACT Friedreich's ataxia is a multisystem disorder with scoliosis being the most common non‐neurological manifestation. While scoliosis surgery is typically performed in adolescent, ambulatory patients, few data exist on surgical outcomes in patients with advanced disease.

Introduction Parkinson′s disease rarely presents with Pisa syndrome, for which a patient may require corrective surgery because of trunk tilt. Herein, we report a case of lumbar dislocation fracture caused by minor trauma. The patient′s trunk tilt progressed, and neurological symptoms worsened, requiring surgical treatment.

Background: Thoracolumbar junction (TLJ) is the transitional area between the lower thoracic spine and the upper lumbar spine. Vertebral compression fractures and proximal junctional kyphosis following spine surgery often occur in this area.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the FBN1 gene. Using whole‐exome sequencing (WES) in a Chinese MFS family, we identified a novel heterozygous nonsense variant FBN1:c.1415dup;p.(Tyr472Ter), which cosegregates with the disease phenotype and results in protein truncation ...

Introduction Intervertebral bridging ossification (IBO) occasionally occurs after balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs), contributing to stabilization. However, the predisposing factors remain unclear. This study aimed to identify preoperative factors associated with IBO formation. Methods This was a retrospective cohort

Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy for Kyphosis Following Lumbar Fusion Surgery
Introduction: Pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) is performed to correct sagittal plane deformity. This procedure is useful with revision cases in which the number of intact discs for correction is limited.

The feasibility of using growth promoting strategies (vertebral periosteal resection and distraction) was investigated via computational and in vivo analysis. Computational analysis demonstrated that there is an increasing mechanical benefit to utilizing concave distraction over convex compression during spinal deformity correction.

Proximal junctional failure is a devastating complication in spinal deformity surgery. Subject‐specific musculoskeletal modeling offers a novel approach to improve prediction and prevention by integrating biomechanics, muscle function, and bone quality.

Finite element models of Lenke type 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were morphed into Roussouly sagittal types 1–4 and subjected to pure moment loading. The figure illustrates how sagittal morphology modulates thoracolumbar biomechanics, with Roussouly types 3–4 showing reduced range of motion and more favorable disc loading than types 1–2.
