Cervical spondylolysis is an uncommon entity. It is important to recognise its characteristic radiological features and differentiate it from acute cervical fractures or dislocations in patients with neck injuries. We report the relevant clinical and radiological findings seen in a young Chinese woman managed in our hospital after a neck injury who was ultimately diagnosed with bilateral cervical spondylolysis with spondylolisthesis at C6.

Safe distances for transforaminal posterior lumbar interbody fusion under one-hole split endoscopy: three-dimensional reconstruction measurement of 1-degree degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis at the L segment.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Spine Surgery, Binzhou Medical University Hospital, No. 661, Huanghe Er Road, Binzhou, 256603, Shandong, China.
Background: One-hole split endoscopy (OSE) is a novel endoscopic technique that offers some advantages in spinal surgery. However, without a clear understanding of the safe zone for OSE, surgeons risk injuring nerve roots during the procedure. This study aimed to measure the safe distances among critical bone markers, the intervertebral space and nerve roots between 1-degree degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS) and non-DLS at the L segment in patients via three-dimensional reconstruction and to compare the differences in relevant safety distances between the two groups.

J Orthop Surg Res
December 2024
Dongzhimen Hospital Afliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, 100700, China.
Objective: To examine the mid-term efficacy and imaging results of using the Mobi-C and Bryan implants after cervical hybrid surgery for 2-level cervical spondylolisthesis, and to observe their postoperative changes and differences in the flexion-extension center of rotation (FE-COR) for the anterior cervical disc replacement (ACDR) segment.
Methods: Patients who underwent cervical hybrid surgery between June 2014 and June 2019 were included in this study. The mJOA, NDI, and VAS scores were used to assess clinical outcomes, and the FE-COR of the ACDR segment was measured.
Characteristics of Lumbar Pars Interarticularis and Pedicle Stress Injuries by Sport in 902 Pediatric and Adolescent Athletes: A Retrospective Study.
Am J Sports Med
November 2024
Division of Sports Medicine, Department of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, Boston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Research indicates a higher prevalence of upper lumbar spondylolysis in young athletes than previously thought, highlighting a lack of sport-specific studies on this condition.
- The study aimed to identify risk factors associated with upper lumbar stress injuries in pediatric and adolescent athletes by reviewing medical records from two academic centers.
- Results showed that the majority of diagnosed athletes had lower level injuries, while a smaller percentage experienced upper level injuries, which were linked to being older at diagnosis and shorter durations of low back pain.
Successful Conservative Treatment of Cervical Spondylolysis in a 2-year-old Patient.
J Orthop Case Rep
October 2024
Musculoskeletal Oncology Pathology Unit, Traumatology and Orthopedics Clinic of UdelaR at the National Institute of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Montevideo, Uruguay.
Introduction: Cervical spondylosis is a rare condition in pediatric patients with currently scarce cases in the literature. The C2 location is particularly uncommon with only a small number of case reports describing this condition. Given its limited evidence in the literature, its etiology and standard of care treatment persist obscure.

- About one-third of cervical spine injuries happen in the upper section, specifically between the base of the skull (occiput) and the second cervical vertebra, with 70% of injuries occurring at this location.
- Types of injuries in this area include atlas fractures, occipital condyle fractures, and injuries to ligaments associated with the upper cervical spine.
- Treatment options range from conservative therapy for stable injuries to surgical intervention for unstable cases, with the article covering details on injury frequency, diagnosis, classification, and standard treatment methods.
