Low back pains are very frequent in athletes by microtraumatisms and sudden efforts. The prolapse of the nucleus pulposus is created. After the failure of correct medical treatment, some new technics give good results: chemonucleolysis, trans-cutaneous nucleotomy, microdiscectomy. These techniques permit a faster and more active return to effort. The choice must be perfect: clinical examination and imagery manage this advance.

Correlations between spinopelvic parameters and health-related quality of life in degenerative lumbar scoliosis patients before and after long -level fusion surgery.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
January 2025
Department of Orthopedics, Peking University Third Hospital, No. 49. North Garden Street, Hai Dian District, Beijing, 100191, People's Republic of China.
Background: For degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS), prior studies mainly focused on the preoperative relationship between spinopelvic parameters and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), lacking an exhaustive evaluation of the postoperative situation. Therefore, the postoperative parameters most closely bonded with clinical outcomes has not yet been well-defined in DLS patients. The objective of this study was to comprehensively assess the correlation between radiographic parameters and HRQoL before and after surgery, and to identified the most valuable spinopelvic parameters for postoperative curative effect.

Center for Muscle and Joint Health, Department of Sport Sciences and Clinical Biomechanics, University of Southern Denmark; Chiropractic Knowledge Hub, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark. Electronic address:
Background Context: Recumbent MRI is the most widely used image modality in people with low back pain (LBP), however, it has been proposed that upright (standing) MRI has advantages over recumbent MRI because of its ability to assess the effects of being weight-bearing. It has been suggested that this produces systematic differences in MRI parameters and differences in the correlation between MRI parameters and pain or disability in patients thus, potentially adding clinically helpful information.
Purpose: This paper aims to review and summarize the available empirical evidence for or against these two hypotheses.
Changes in Bone Mineral Density After Parathyroidectomy in Patients With Primary Hyperparathyroidism.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama. Electronic address:
Introduction: Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are prone to low bone mineral density (BMD). This study aimed to explore factors associated with improved bone health after parathyroidectomy (PTx).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent PTx for PHPT at our institution between 2016 and 2020.
Evaluation of lumbar vertebral bone quality using T1-weighted MRI: Can it differentiate normal, osteopenia, and osteoporosis?
J Clin Densitom
January 2025
University of Health Sciences, Umraniye Training and Research Hospital, Department of Radiology, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Osteoporosis, a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, poses a significant public health challenge globally. While the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), its use is limited by factors like spinal deformities and artifacts. This study aims to explore the potential of routine T1-weighted MRI sequences in predicting osteopenia and osteoporosis through the vertebral bone signal (VB) to cerebrospinal fluid signal (CSF) ratio.

Purpose Of Review: Low back pain (LBP) is considered an important issue of public health, with annual prevalence estimations almost achieving 60% of the worldwide population. Available treatments have a limited impact on this condition, although they allow to alleviate pain and recover the patient's quality of life. This review aims to go deeper on the understanding of this condition, providing an updated, brief, and concise whole picture of this common musculoskeletal problem.
