Defining threshold for sagittal correction in lumbar fractures.

Purpose: Surgical indications for thoraco-lumbar fractures are driven both by neurological status, fractures instability and kyphotic deformity. Regarding kyphotic deformity, an angulation superior to 20° is considered by many surgeons as a surgical indication to reduce the disability induced by post-traumatic kyphosis. However, there is a lack of data reporting the ideal or theoretical lordosis that one must have in a particular lumbar segment on CT-scan.

Kappa: Preliminary Results on a Novel Technique for Pelvic Fixation in Adult Spinal Deformity Correction.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Objectives: Pelvic fixation in degenerative spinal deformation is as crucial as demanding. Several pelvic anchoring technics have been described, but loosening rates remain high for most solutions.

Efficiency of a novel vertebral body augmentation system (Tektona™) in non-osteoporotic spinal fractures.

Background: The restauration of the local kyphosis is crucial to thoracolumbar fractures outcomes. Recently, the Tektona™ (Spine Art) system, constituted by a flexible lamella for corporeal reduction has emerged as a promising solution for osteoporotic fractures. However, no study has yet focused on its results on traumatic fractures.

How was spinal surgery activity maintained during the COVID-19 pandemic? Results of a French multicenter observational study.

Introduction: The French Society of Spinal Surgery (SFCR) offered guidelines during the COVID pandemic. The objective of this work was to report the organization and activity in spinal surgery during the first month of confinement across 6 centers in France. The secondary objective was to monitor the adequacy of our practices within the SFCR guidelines.
