Purpose: The long-term situation of children with spinal cord injury (SCI) was investigated, and suggestions for helping them better return to the society were provided.
Methods: SCI patients less than 18 years old hospitalized in Beijing Boai Hospital from January 2011 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Information including motor function, complications, characteristic changes, self-care abilities, school attendance and social participation were collected by telephone interview and electronic questionnaire.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find a diagnostic indicator for lumbar spondylolysis that can be seen in plain X-ray films, focusing on patients with low back pain.
- It involved 172 patients divided into three groups: spondylosis without spondylolisthesis, isthmic spondylolisthesis, and a control group, measuring the sagittal diameters of the vertebral arch at L4 and L5.
- The results showed a significant difference in the sizes of L5 compared to L4 in the spondylosis groups, suggesting that a wider SDVA of L5 versus L4 can be a helpful diagnostic indicator for spondylolysis in X-ray images.
Study Design: Retrospective analysis.
Setting: China Rehabilitation Research Center, Beijing, China.
Objective: To explore possible mechanisms underlying spinal cord injury (SCI) in children caused by hyperextension of the spine while dancing.
Article Synopsis
- * Post-surgery, the mean Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores improved from 10.07 to 12.85, with no neurological deterioration reported; the most common complication was axial symptoms in 7 patients.
- * Both unilateral and bilateral fixation showed similar effectiveness in improving clinical symptoms and maintaining cervical curvature, but further biomechanical research is needed to explore specifics of each method.
Study Design: Retrospective analysis.
Setting: China Rehabilitation Research Center, Beijing, China.
Objective: A retrospective study that documents the modalities and clarifies the heterogeneity among spinal cord injuries (SCIs) caused by trauma to the thoracolumbar vertebral junction.
