Because physical examination typically demonstrates normal findings in cases of low-back pain, diaglosis of the cause can be challenging. Frequent magnetic resonance imaging studies of the lumbosacral spine can typically lead to discovery of benign diseases and thus misinterpretation of these images. The authors report an unusual case in which a functional ovarian cyst was incidentally associated with a perineural cyst and mimicked a lateral sacral meningocele. In light of this, the authors recommend repeated examinations to avoid mistakes.

Achieving cup target as per spinopelvic assessment is associated with improved THA outcome: a prospective, multicentre study.
Hip Int
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Ottawa Hospital, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Different methods can help to optimise sagittal cup orientation in total hip arthroplasty (THA) based on individual spinopelvic characteristics. This study aimed to: (1) assess how often combined sagittal index (CSI) and hip-spine-classification targets were achieved post THA; (2) compare anteversion/inclination between cups in-/outside optimal CSI zone; and (3) determine association with outcome.
Methods: This is a multicentre, prospective, case-cohort study of 435 primary THA for osteoarthritis (53% females; age: 65 ± 12 years; follow-up: 2.
Automated spinopelvic measurements on radiographs with artificial intelligence: a multi-reader study.
Radiol Med
January 2025
Department of Radiology, University Hospital, LMU Munich, Marchioninistr. 15, 81377, Munich, Germany.
Purpose: To develop an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for automated measurements of spinopelvic parameters on lateral radiographs and compare its performance to multiple experienced radiologists and surgeons.
Methods: On lateral full-spine radiographs of 295 consecutive patients, a two-staged region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) was trained to detect anatomical landmarks and calculate thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), sacral slope (SS), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA). Performance was evaluated on 65 radiographs not used for training, which were measured independently by 6 readers (3 radiologists, 3 surgeons), and the median per measurement was set as the reference standard.
Unilateral Lumbo-Pelvic Fixation for Denis Type I Unilateral Sacral Fracture: A Finite Element Analysis.
JOR Spine
March 2025
Department of Trauma Surgery, Orthopaedics and Plastic Surgery University Medical Center Göttingen Göttingen Germany.
Background: Unilateral sacral fractures with posterior ring instability represent a prevalent type of posterior pelvic ring fracture. While lumbo-pelvic fixation is recognized as a highly stable method, the sufficiency of unilateral lumbo-pelvic fixation (ULF) for such fractures remains under debate.
Purpose: This study aims to assess the biomechanical stability of ULF compared to traditional bilateral lumbo-pelvic fixation (BLF) and triangular osteosynthesis (TO), incorporating clinical observations, and previous biomechanical data.
Clinical and radiographic comparison of robot-assisted single-position versus traditional dual-position lateral lumbar interbody fusion.
J Neurosurg Spine
January 2025
1Department of Orthopedics, Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.
Objective: The potential of robot-assisted (RA) single-position (SP) lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) warrants further investigation. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of RA-SP-LLIF in improving both clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion surgery.
Methods: A total of 59 patients underwent either RA-SP-LLIF (n = 31 cases) or traditional LLIF (n = 28 cases).
Rectal foreign body of a cosmetic bottle treated successfully by transanal retrieval: A case report.
Medicine (Baltimore)
November 2024
Department of Colorectal Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, China.
Rationale: Retained rectal foreign bodies (RFBs) are unusual clinical presentations whose management is challenging for emergency physicians owing to variations in the object types, anorectal anatomy, sacral curvature, insertion times, and local contamination. Here, we present the diagnosis and treatment in 1 case of retained rectal foreign body.
Patient Concerns: A 62-year-old male presented to the emergency department with a cosmetic bottle inserted into the rectum while bathing.
