Efficacy and safety of laminoplasty combined with C3 laminectomy for patients with multilevel degenerative cervical myelopathy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Laminoplasty (LP) combined with C3 laminectomy (LN) can effectively achieve spinal cord decompression while maintaining the integrity of the posterior ligament-muscle complex, thereby minimizing cervical muscle damage. However, its necessity and safety remain controversial. This study aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of LP and LP combined with C3 LN in the treatment of patients with multilevel degenerative cervical spondylotic myelopathy (DCM).

Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire: A Methodological Systematic Review.

Objective: Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder, and it affects the quality of life of patients. As an effective and reliable multidimensional measurement tool for neck pain, the Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire (NBQ) has been cross-culturally adapted into multiple languages for clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the translation procedures and measurement properties of cross-cultural adaptations of the NBQ.

Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting new vertebral compression fractures after percutaneous kyphoplasty in postmenopausal patients.

Background: Postmenopausal women face a heightened risk of developing new vertebral compression fractures (NVCFs) following percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). This study aimed to develop and validate a visual nomogram model capable of accurately predicting NVCF occurrence post-PKP to optimize treatment strategies and minimize occurrence.

Methods: This retrospective study included postmenopausal women diagnosed with OVCF who underwent PKP at the Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2016 and January 2021.

Development of a Diagnostic Model for Differentiating Tuberculous Spondylitis and Pyogenic Spondylitis With MRI: A Multicenter Retrospective Observational Study.

Study Design: Multicenter retrospective observational study.

Objective: This study aimed to distinguish tuberculous spondylitis (TS) from pyogenic spondylitis (PS) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Further, a novel diagnostic model for differential diagnosis was developed.

Bibliometric Insights in Advances of Chordoma: Global Trends and Research Development in the Last Decade.

Chordoma is a rare tumor, but has a serious effect on the quality of life of patients. This study aims to assess the overall knowledge structure and trends in the development of chordoma research using a bibliometric analysis and visualization tool. Research datasets were acquired from the Web of Science.

Establishment and Verification of a Predictive Nomogram for New Vertebral Compression Fracture Occurring after Bone Cement Injection in Middle-Aged and Elderly Patients with Vertebral Compression Fracture.

Objective: New vertebral compression fracture (NVCF) occurring after bone cement injection in middle-aged and elderly patients with vertebral compression fracture is very common. Preoperative baseline characteristics and surgical treatment parameters have been widely studied as a risk factor, but the importance of the patients' laboratory indicators has not been thoroughly explored. We aimed to explore the relationship between laboratory indicators and NVCF, and attempt to construct a clinical prediction model of NVCF together with other risk factors.
