AI Article Synopsis
- The article presents evidence-based guidelines for diagnosing and treating degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis, a condition where one vertebra slips over another, often causing back pain.
- The authors emphasize a systematic approach that includes patient evaluation, imaging tests, and consideration of non-surgical versus surgical treatment options based on individual cases.
- These guidelines aim to improve clinical outcomes and standardize care for patients suffering from this spinal disorder.

Advancing the timing of drainage removal: a comprehensive analysis of different drainage removal criteria in patients undergoing short-level lumbar fusion surgery.
BMC Surg
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics & Elderly Spinal Surgery, National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Diseases, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Objective: To specifically evaluate the safety and benefit of different drainage removal criteria (50 ml and 100 ml per 24 h) in patients undergoing short-level lumbar fusion surgery.
Methods: Patients with degenerative lumbar diseases who underwent short level lumbar fusion with instrumentation between January 2021 and January 2023 were retrospectively recruited in the study. Based on the different criteria for drainage removal, the patients were divided into 2 groups (group A and group B).
Two-stage surgery with oblique lateral interbody fusion and posterior fixation in degenerative scoliosis with lumbosacral curve-driven degenerative lumbar scoliosis: a feasible option to prevent postoperative coronal decompensation.
J Orthop Surg Res
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Beijing Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing, China.
Objective: This study aims to introduce a two-stage surgical procedure, namely oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF), for spinal disorders treatment. Furthermore, clinical outcomes and imaging results are analyzed between OLIF with posterior fixation and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with fixation for lumbosacral curve-driven degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS).
Methods: 146 patients with type 2 DLS who underwent OLIF or PLIF between January 2019 and November 2023 were included.
Effect of excluding fractured or abnormal vertebrae on the trabecular bone score measurement.
Arch Osteoporos
December 2024
Department of Medical Imaging, Cheng Hsin General Hospital, 45 Cheng Hsin Street, Taipei, 112, Taiwan.
Unlabelled: Brief rationale: The use of L1-L4 vertebrae, without exclusions, has been recommended for trabecular bone score (TBS) measurements.
Main Result: Excluding abnormal and fractured vertebrae affected the TBS. Significance of the paper: Fracture or degenerative abnormality may not affect TBS.
The effects of cage on endplate collapse after stand-alone OLIF: based on finite element analysis and mechanics experiments.

Department of Spine Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qindao, China.
Background: Lumbar degenerative diseases are an important factor in disability worldwide, and they are also common among the elderly population. Stand-Alone Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion (Stand-Alone OLIF) is a novel surgical approach for treating lumbar degenerative diseases. However, long-term follow-up after surgery has revealed the risk of endplate collapse associated with Stand-Alone OLIF procedures.
