Disparities in management of symptomatic osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures: a nationwide multidisciplinary survey.

Unlabelled: This nationwide multidisciplinary survey found dissatisfaction among physicians with current osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture care, revealing significant disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up practices. Issues include poor communication and differing guidelines. Improving interdisciplinary collaboration and standardized care strategies is essential for better patient outcomes.

Surgical treatment of traumatic fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine: A systematic review.

Introduction: The treatment of traumatic thoracic and lumbar spine fractures remains controversial. To date no consensus exists on the correct choice of surgical approach and technique.

Research Question: to provide a comprehensive up-to-date overview of the available different surgical methods and their quantified outcomes.

The changing landscape of spinal injuries: A narrative review.

In the past, spinal trauma was frequent in high- and middle-income regions of the world with high rates of automobility and was considered a "young men's disease." However, over the last 2 decades, both of these factors have changed dramatically. This has had important implications for our methods of diagnosis, treatment, and the organization of care.

Instrumentation Techniques to Prevent Proximal Junctional Kyphosis and Proximal Junctional Failure in Adult Spinal Deformity Correction: A Systematic Review of Clinical Studies.

Study Design: Systematic review.

Objectives: To summarize the results of clinical studies investigating spinal instrumentation techniques aiming to reduce the postoperative incidence of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and/or failure (PJF) in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients.

Methods: EMBASE and Medline® were searched for articles dating from January 2000 onward.

Instrumentation techniques to prevent proximal junctional kyphosis and proximal junctional failure in adult spinal deformity correction-a systematic review of biomechanical studies.

Background Context: Correction of adult spinal deformity (ASD) by long segment instrumented spinal fusion is an increasingly common surgical intervention. However, it is associated with high rates of complications and revision surgery, especially in the elderly patient population. The high construct stiffness of instrumented thoracolumbar spinal fusion has been postulated to lead to a higher incidence of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and failure (PJF).
