AI Article Synopsis
- A rare case of a patient with a severe back injury is discussed, featuring a complete 180-degree rotation of the T6 vertebral body, which had not been previously documented in medical literature.
- The injury led to an unexpected aortic tear, complicating the injury and ultimately resulting in a fatal outcome despite surgical intervention.
- The causes of this unusual vertebral displacement remain unclear, and it’s important to consider potential late vascular complications when treating thoracic spine fractures with similar rotational injuries.
Article Abstract
Numerous vertebral fracture patterns have been reported in the literature. We present the case of a patient who sustained severe trauma to the back that resulted in a very unusual and not previously reported rotational injury consisting in complete 180 degrees rotation of the T6 vertebral body along a vertical axis, with only limited anteroposterior and lateral displacement. An unsuspected aortic tear resulted in severe evolution with fatal outcome following surgical attempt. The aetiology of such displacement is unknown. The possibility of late vascular complications should be kept in mind while treating thoracic spine fractures with rotational displacement.

Introduction: A large number of middle-aged and elderly patients have an insufficient understanding of osteoporosis and its harm. This study aimed to establish and validate a convolutional neural network (CNN) model based on unenhanced chest computed tomography (CT) images of the vertebral body and skeletal muscle for opportunistic screening in patients with osteoporosis.
Materials And Methods: Our team retrospectively collected clinical information from participants who underwent unenhanced chest CT and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) examinations between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, at four hospitals.
Gender Different Impacts of Muscle Mass and Adipose Tissue on Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma Undergoing Surgical Resection.

Background & Aims: Body composition is an objective assessment reflecting nutritional status and is highly gender different. Surgical resection, the standard treatment for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is an energy-consuming major operation that would affect body composition. However, the impacts of body composition on the post-operative prognosis of HCC are still uncertain.

Background: Vertebral body tethering (VBT) is a nonfusion surgical treatment for scoliosis. Recent data have shown that intraoperative correction is critical for successful curve correction over time. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative correction.

The influence of sintering of osteoporotic vertebral fractures on the sagittal lumbar profile and degenerative changes.
J Orthop Surg Res

Department of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, Medical Faculty, University Hospital Düsseldorf, Heinrich-Heine-University, Düsseldorf, Germany.
Background: Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder affecting nearly 20% of the global population, poses a significant health concern, with osteoporotic vertebral body fractures (VBF) representing a common clinical manifestation. The impact of osteoporotic sintering fractures in the thoracolumbar spine on the sagittal lumbar profile is incompletely understood and may lead to the onset of clinical symptoms in previously asymptomatic patients.
Methods: This retrospective single-center study analyzed data from patients presenting with osteoporotic spine fractures between 2017 and 2022.
