Cervical spinal stenosis occurs at the craniovertebral junction, usually incident to a congenital malformation, or it appears as a developmental defect with diffuse narrowing of the cervical canal. In its acquired form the lesion may be limited to one or two levels, or it may be more extensive and affect three or more segments.

: Multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM) presents complex challenges for surgical management, particularly in patients with kyphosis or significant anterior pathology. This study aimed to assess the long-term efficacy of modified expansive open-door laminoplasty (MEOLP) combined with short-level anterior cervical fusion (ACF) in providing decompression, preserving alignment, and maintaining range of motion (ROM) over a nine-year follow-up. : A retrospective analysis was conducted on 124 MCSM patients treated with MEOLP combined with ACF between 2011 and 2015.

Although the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) is widely utilized to evaluate spinal instability, its prognostic value for survival in patients with cervical spinal metastases remains unclear. This study investigated the association between the SINS and survival outcomes in patients with metastatic cervical spine cancer. This retrospective cohort study included 106 patients who underwent surgery for metastatic cervical spine cancer at a single institution between 1995 and 2023.

Posterior neck, trapezius, and interscapular pain, exacerbated by poor posture such as forward head and rounded shoulders, is common. In this study, we aimed to assess the clinical outcomes of isotonic saline injections at nerve entrapment points (NEPs) within the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and scalenus medius (SM) muscles for alleviating spinal accessory nerve (SAN) and dorsal scapular nerve (DSN) compression in patients suffering from posterior neck, trapezius, and interscapular pain. In this retrospective study, 68 patients were included, with 34 receiving isotonic saline injections and 34 undergoing Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) as a control.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Center for Spinal Disorders, Nicklaus Children's Hospital, Miami, FL 33155, USA.
Although neck injuries secondary to sporting activities in the pediatric demographic presenting to the emergency department (ED) are common, predictors of needing higher-level care (HLC) outside immediate treatment and release are not clear. The aim of this study was to describe how these neck injuries present in the United States (US) and identify predictors of HLC. We interrogated the US National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database for presentations to the ED of pediatric patients (aged 6-18 years old) whose primary complaint was neck injury in the setting of sport between 2014 and 2023.

Lumbopelvic pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition during pregnancy, affecting a significant proportion of pregnant women. It arises from hormonal, biomechanical, and postural changes, often exacerbating discomfort and impairing quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of targeted motor control interventions focusing on sternal alignment on spinal alignment, pain, and muscle activity in pregnant women at risk of preterm birth.
