Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the reliability of the AO Spine-DGOU Osteoporotic Fracture classification system using a cross-sectional survey with 23 trauma experts rating 33 cases at two different times.
- The calculated kappa statistics indicated moderate inter-rater agreement and substantial intra-rater reproducibility, suggesting that while raters differed slightly, individual consistency was high.
- The findings highlight the importance of training in improving the reliability of the classification system for identifying fracture patterns and guiding treatment.
Study Design: Broad narrative review.
Objectives: To review and summarize the evolution of spinopelvic fixation (SPF) and its implications on clinical care.
Methods: A thorough review of peer-reviewed literature was performed on the historical evolution of sacropelvic fixation techniques and their respective advantages and disadvantages.
Study Design: Biomechanical Cadaveric Study.
Objectives: Following the successful use of a novel implantable sensor (Monitor) in evaluating the progression of fracture healing in long bones and posterolateral fusion of the spine based on implant load monitoring, the aim of this study was to investigate its potential to assess healing of transosseous fractures of a lumbar vertebra stabilized with a pedicle-screw-rod construct.
Methods: Six human cadaveric spines were instrumented with pedicle screws and rods spanning L3 vertebra.

Study Design: Literature review with clinical recommendations.
Objective: To highlight important studies about osteoporotic spinal fractures (OF) that may be integrated into clinical practice based on the assessment of the AO Spine KF Trauma and Infection group key opinion leaders.
Methods: 4 important studies about OF that may affect current clinical practice of spinal surgeons were selected and reviewed with the aim of providing clinical recommendations to streamline the journey of research into clinical practice.
