Article Synopsis
- The study is a narrative review aimed at filling a gap in literature regarding return to play protocols and rehabilitation for golfers who have undergone lumbar spine surgery due to high-impact swings.
- Research indicates that the forces exerted on the lumbar spine during modern golf swings are comparable to those in contact sports, highlighting the importance of swing mechanics and muscle conditioning.
- The authors conclude that while lumbar spine surgery can help athletes return to play, there is still a lack of specific protocols for recovery, emphasizing the need for studies that link swing mechanics, rehabilitation, and surgical outcomes for golfers.
Study design Biomechanical cadaveric study Objective To compare biomechanical properties of a single stand-alone interbody fusion and a single-level pedicle screw construct above a previous lumbar pedicle fusion. Summary of background data Adjacent segment disease (ASD) is spondylosis of adjacent vertebral segments after previous spinal fusion. Despite the consensus that ASD is clinically significant, the surgical treatment of ASD is controversial.

Cervical total disc arthroplasty (TDA) has been proposed as an alternative to prevent ASD.
Hypotheses: TDA in optimal placement using an elastic-core cervical disc (RHINE, K2M Inc.
Chronic Forward Head Posture is associated with headaches, neck pain, and disability, though few studies have investigated the effects it has on the suboccipital triangle. The objective of this study was to quantitatively assess whether the biomechanical changes in the suboccipital triangle help explain the clinical manifestations of Forward Head Posture. Specifically, this study aimed to identify whether the Greater Occipital Nerve or C2 nerve root may be compressed in Forward Head Posture.

Cervical disc arthroplasty is considered an alternative to reduce risk of adjacent segment disease. Kinematics after arthroplasty should closely replicate healthy in vivo kinematics to reduce adjacent segment stresses.
