Treatment of unstable thoracolumbar junction fractures: short-segment pedicle fixation with inclusion of the fracture level versus long-segment instrumentation [PDF]
The surgical management of thoracolumbar burst fractures frequently involves posterior pedicle screw fixation. However, the application of short- or long-segment instrumentation is still controversial.

Modelling thoracolumbar fractures in goat vertebrae based on axial compression force [PDF]
Background/Aim: A profound understanding of the biomechanics underlying thoracolumbar animal models has become important in spine research. Aim of this study was to analyse difference in thoracolumbar fractures based on height loss caused by axial ...

Fusion versus nonfusion for surgically treated thoracolumbar burst fractures: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Posterior pedicle screw fixation has become a popular method for treating thoracolumbar burst fractures. However, it remains unclear whether additional fusion could improve clinical and radiological outcomes.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Pitfalls in diagnosing and long‐term management of ceroid lipofuscinosis NCL4A in a mixed‐breed dog
Abstract An 8‐year‐old, spayed, female, mixed‐breed dog was presented with a 9‐month history of occasionally stumbling on walks, having difficulty navigating stairs and jumping into the car. A prior computed tomography scan of the head revealed mild leptomeningeal enhancement and suggested meningoencephalitis.

Modified pedicle‐guided fixation technique for iliosacral screw placement in prone position reduces operation time and radiation exposure as conventional two‐dimensional fluoroscopy was enough to identify safe insertion corridors. Prone position is also advantageous when dealing with obese patients and concomitant spinal injuries.

Treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures by vertebral shortening [PDF]
Burst fractures may be stable or unstable, so the choice of treatment may be controversial; almost all cases are surgical type. Deciding on the best method and approach is difficult, due to the many possible options and the fact that good results are achieved in only 60-70% of cases.

The new scoring system for TLJ injury. ABSTRACT Objectives To avoid the confusion of mechanism, tissue, morphology, and injury severity that resulted from previous modified AO, the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TLICS), the Thoracolumbar AO Spine Injury Score (TL AOSIS), and Load Sharing Classification (LSC), the integrated ...
