The Influence of Comminution and Posterior Ligamentous Complex Integrity on Treatment Decision Making in Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures Without Neurologic Deficit?
Global Spine J
February 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, Trauma Surgery and Plastic Surgery, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany.
Study Design: A prospective study.
Objective: to evaluate the impact of vertebral body comminution and Posterior Ligamentous Complex (PLC) integrity on the treatment recommendations of thoracolumbar fractures among an expert panel of 22 spine surgeons.
Methods: A review of 183 prospectively collected thoracolumbar burst fracture computed tomography (CT) scans by an expert panel of 22 trauma spine surgeons to assess vertebral body comminution and PLC integrity.
Dual modality of vertebral body tethering : anterior scoliosis correction versus growth modulation with mean follow-up of five years.
Bone Jt Open
February 2022
Complex Spinal Division, Neurosciences Atkinson Morley Wing, St. George's Hospital, London, UK.
Aims: Vertebral body tethering (VBT) is a non-fusion technique to correct scoliosis. It allows correction of scoliosis through growth modulation (GM) by tethering the convex side to allow concave unrestricted growth similar to the hemiepiphysiodesis concept. The other modality is anterior scoliosis correction (ASC) where the tether is able to perform most of the correction immediately where limited growth is expected.

Department of Epidemiology, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Introduction: Inverse associations of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and atherosclerosis with osteoporosis and bone mineral density (BMD) have been reported in post-menopausal women and elderly men. We aimed to investigate an association between vetebral bone density (VBD) and coronary artery cacification (CAC) in an international multi-ethnic cohort of middle-aged men in the EBCT and Risk Factor Assessment among Japanese and US Men in the Post-World-War-II birth cohort (ERA JUMP).
Methods: ERA JUMP examined 1134 men aged 40-49 (267 white, 84 black, and 242 Japanese Americans, 308 Japanese in Japan, and 233 Koreans in South Korea) free from CVD for CAC, and VBD, biomarkers of coronary atherosclerosis and BMD, respectively, with electron-beam computed tomography, and other risk factors.
Surgical management of spinal metastases of thymic carcinoma: A case report and literature review.
Medicine (Baltimore)
January 2019
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Peking Union Medical College and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
Rationale: Metastatic thymic carcinoma in the spine is a rare disease with no standard curative managements yet. The objective of this study is to report a very rare case of spinal metastases of thymic carcinoma successfully operated by combination of instrumentation and cement augmentation together with adjuvant treatment. The management of these unique cases has yet to be well-documented.

Spine Department, First Hospital of Jilin University, No. 71, Xinmin St, Chaoyang District, ChangChun City, Jilin Province 130021, People's Republic of China. Electronic address:
Background Context: Corrective surgery for dystrophic scoliosis in neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF-1) is challenging. There are various surgical methods, all with unsatisfactory outcomes.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the treatment of dystrophic scoliosis in NF-1 with one-stage posterior pedicle screw approach.
