Study Design: Retrospective cohort analysis.
Objectives: To use a large cohort of three-dimensional (3D) spinal reconstructions to create a simple mathematical formula capable of estimating 3D apical vertebral rotation (AVR) based on the correlation with routinely obtained two-dimensional (2D) measurements of scoliosis.
Summary Of Background Data: Quantification of vertebral rotation in AIS using 2-dimensional (2D) imaging is inherently challenging as the axial plane cannot be directly visualized.
Methods: A database of 279 3D spinal reconstructions was queried for patients with thoracic major adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). 2D thoracic Cobb angle, T5-T12 thoracic kyphosis, pelvic incidence, sacral slope, and pelvic tilt were recorded. 3D AVR was calculated for each patient from 3D reconstructions. Patients were divided into development (n = 186) and validation (n = 93) cohorts. Within the development cohort, univariate analysis was performed between 2D measurements and 3D AVR with significance set at p < .05 for inclusion in multivariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, significance was set at p < .01 for inclusion in the final model. Model performance was tested in development and validation cohorts.
Results: Only 2D thoracic Cobb and T5-T12 thoracic kyphosis had significance in univariate (p < .05) and multivariate analyses (p < .01), meriting inclusion in the final model. 3D AVR (°) = 0.26*(T5-T12 kyphosis) + 0.34*(coronal Cobb) - 5.38. In the development cohort, the model performed well (R = 0.739, r = 0.54). In testing with the validation cohort, the model proved generalizability (R = 0.703) and had a mean absolute error <5°.
Conclusions: This model is capable of estimating 3D AVR given 2D thoracic Cobb and T5-T12 kyphosis. The accuracy of this method is comparable to previously reported methods of 2D axial rotation measurement. However, this model provides 3D axial rotation and requires no physical instruments, non-standard measurements, or software programs. Such a model is valuable for both routine evaluation of AIS and operative preparation.
Level Of Evidence: Level II, diagnostic.

Background: pelvis and shoulder are deeply integrated. They are connected by myofascial slings. The pelvic and spinal posture affects the position of the scapula and the activity of its muscles and affects acromio-humeral distance and so that affects shoulder movement.

Background: Vertebral body defects pose a significant challenge in spinal reconstructive surgery. Compression fractures of the vertebral corpus are typically treated with vertebral augmentation procedures. There are significant risks associated with the introduction of foreign material in the spine, including infection and pseudarthrosis.

The pathogenesis of type I Chiari malformation (CIM) is complex and remains unclear. The theory of posterior cranial fossa incompatibility has gained widespread acceptance in recent years. In the patients with CIM combined with syringomyelia, scoliosis is a common occurrence, with severe cases often leading to complications that necessitate surgical intervention.

Background: Direct vertebral rotation (DVR) effectiveness in improving scoliosis correction outcomes remains unclear and requires further investigation.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of short and extended fusion techniques using en-bloc DVR in correcting adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) classified as Lenke 5 curve (5C).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 90 randomly selected AIS patients with Lenke 5C who underwent posterior spinal instrumentation surgery using en-bloc DVR between 2014 and 2021.

Background: Prone lateral spinal surgery for simultaneous lateral and posterior approaches has recently been proposed to facilitate surgical room efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery using a rotatable radiolucent Jackson table.
Methods: From July 2021 to June 2023, a consecutive series of patients who received minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery for various etiologies by the same surgical team were reviewed.
