Article Synopsis
- This study examines 50 cases of distinct lesions derived from notochordal cells (NCDL), including various types of chordomas and benign tumors over the past 55 years in a tertiary hospital setting.
- Conventional chordomas were found to be lobulated masses with specific imaging characteristics and a variety of growth patterns, while benign notochordal cell tumors (BNCT) were less aggressive, presenting as well-defined lesions without infiltration.
- Follow-up strategies for BNCT involved radiological monitoring, showing no local recurrence or metastasis, while conventional chordoma cases faced higher risks with significant rates of local recurrence and metastasis, necessitating more aggressive treatments.
Introduction: Poor restoration of pelvic version after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery is associated with an increased risk of mechanical complications and worse quality of life. We studied the factors linked to the improvement of postoperative pelvic version.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of a prospective multicenter ASD database.
A 59-year-old woman diagnosed with a Grade I chondrosarcoma in T7 underwent total vertebrectomy. Analysis of the surgical piece established diagnosis of a Grade 1 chondrosarcoma confined to T7. Surprisingly, an infiltration with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was found.

Method: Qualitative study with a symbolic interactionism approach. 22 semi-structured interviews were conducted with adolescents who underwent posterior spinal fusion in a third-level hospital in Madrid between May 2019 and January 2021.
Introduction: The Global Alignment and Proportion (GAP) score incorporates three domains directly modified with surgery (relative pelvic version-RPV, relative lumbar lordosis-RLL, lumbar distribution index-LDI) and one indirectly restored (relative spinopelvic alignment-RSA). We analyzed our surgical realignment performance and the consequences of domain-specific realignment failure on mechanical complications and PROMs.
Materials And Methods: From an adult spinal deformity prospective multicenter database, we selected patients: fused to pelvis, upper instrumented vertebra at or above L1, and 2 years of follow-up.
