Cureus, 2021 Athletes in their teenage years can present to clinics with back pain, without any history of trauma. Many sports require repetitive spinal extension, which may be pertinent to the evaluation of back pain as a chief complaint. Musculoskeletal and neurologic examinations are crucial in the evaluation of athletes presenting with back pain. Most back pain

BMJ Case Reports, 2018 We report a case of congenital kyphosis in a 5-year-old child. Although she was presented before the age of 1 year to her local orthopaedic unit, a definitive diagnosis of unsegmented vertebra was made when she was referred to our unit. The child was treated with posterior fusion, which improved part of the deformity and completely prevented ...

Upper Lumbar Pedicle Screw Insertion Using Three-Dimensional Fluoroscopy Navigation:Assessment of Clinical Accuracy [PDF]
, 2010 We used a navigation system to insert 128 pedicle screws into 69 vertebrae (L1 to L3) of 49 consecutive patients. We assessed the pedicle isthmic width and the permission angle for pedicle screw insertion. The permission angle is the angle defined by the

Excessive growth hormone expression in male GH transgenic mice adversely alters bone architecture and mechanical strength [PDF]
, 2015 Patients with acromegaly have a higher prevalence of vertebral fractures despite normal bone mineral density (BMD), suggesting that GH overexpression has adverse effects on skeletal architecture and strength. We used giant bovine GH (bGH) transgenic mice
