Application of Statistical Shape Models to Standard Lumbar MRI for Stenosis Treatment Stratification: Severe Versus Normal Stenosis

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Statistical shape models (SSMs) derived from standard 2D lumbar MRIs capture coordinated morphological features that distinguish severe from normal spinal stenosis. Both intervertebral disc and combined models provide strong discriminatory power, comparable to or exceeding traditional anatomical measurements.

Diagnostic Features of Discogenic Low Back Pain: A Narrative Review and Suggested Areas for Future Research and Clinical Practice

JOR SPINE, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic low back pain is a leading cause of global disability, with discogenic low back pain (DLBP), mechanically stimulated pain arising from the intervertebral disc, representing an important but often under‐recognized subtype. DLBP arises from chronic structural and metabolic changes within the intervertebral disc, leading to ...

Inhibition of Fibroblast Activation Protein‐α Ameliorates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via Reduced Vascular Invasion in Cartilage Endplate

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 6, June 2026.
Schematic illustration showing that FAP‐α promoted angiogenesis, cytokine release and ECM degradation in the CEP degeneration of the intervertebral disc through upregulating the PI3K/Akt/HIF‐1α/VEGFA pathway. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a primary cause of low back pain, with the development of new blood vessels being a key ...

Full Endoscopic Piecemeal Resection of Lumbar Ligamentum Flavum Cyst With Uniaxial Large Working Channel Spinal Endoscope: Technical Report and Case Series

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 1298-1308, June 2026.
The formation of lumbar ligamentum flavum cyst (LLFC) represents one of the extremely rare etiologies of lumbar spinal stenosis. Owing to the rarity of such cases and the severe adhesion of LLFC to adjacent tissues, significant challenges are posed to surgical intervention.

Efficacy and Safety of the Use of Interspinous Spacers in the Treatment of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Mapping Gap and Scoping Review

Pain Practice, Volume 26, Issue 5, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Low back pain is a common pathology in the general population. In people over 60 years of age, it is associated with degenerative changes that cause narrowing of the vertebral canal. Its treatment includes conservative measures and even surgery with decompression and fusion.
