Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create an easy-to-use score, called the OF Pelvis Score, to help decide between non-operative and surgical treatments for patients with osteoporotic pelvic fractures.
- The score was developed through expert consensus based on extensive analysis of fractures and includes factors like fracture type, pain level, mobility, and overall health, categorizing scores below, above, or equal to 8 for treatment recommendations.
- In a retrospective evaluation of 107 patients, the score guided therapy decisions effectively, with a high compliance rate, and emphasized its adaptable nature as patient conditions evolve.
Several studies have reported that low back pain has a high prevalence among the population, with up to 85%. Percutaneous radiofrequency facet denervation (PRFD) is the gold standard of today's rhizotomy for chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, previously published studies present controversial results for the efficacy of PRFD.

- About one-third of cervical spine injuries happen in the upper section, specifically between the base of the skull (occiput) and the second cervical vertebra, with 70% of injuries occurring at this location.
- Types of injuries in this area include atlas fractures, occipital condyle fractures, and injuries to ligaments associated with the upper cervical spine.
- Treatment options range from conservative therapy for stable injuries to surgical intervention for unstable cases, with the article covering details on injury frequency, diagnosis, classification, and standard treatment methods.
Background: Wound complications after lumbar spine surgery may result in prolonged hospitalization and increased morbidity. Early identification can trigger appropriate management.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of infrared-based wound assessment (FLIR) after lumbar spine surgery in the context of identifying wound healing disorders.
Purpose: Since an increase in the occurrence of native vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) is expected and reliable projections are missing, it is urgent to provide a reliable forecast model and make it a part of future health care considerations.
Methods: Comprehensive nationwide data provided by the Federal Statistical Office of Germany were used to forecast total numbers and incidence rates (IR) of VO as a function of age and gender until 2040. Projections were done using autoregressive integrated moving average model on historical data from 2005 to 2019 in relation to official population projections from 2020 to 2040.
