Purpose: Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was established by Fairbank in 1989 to assess functional disabilities in low back pain (LBP). It was last updated in 2019 as ODI version 2.1b (ODI AU_2.1b). ODI was first translated into Simplified Chinese Oswestry Disability Index (CODI) in 2008 by Lue. The construct validity, internal consistency, level of agreement and the floor and ceiling effects of CODI were found unclear by Yao in 2016. This study will verify how well the adapted Cantonese-Hong Kong Oswestry Disability Index version 2.1b (HKCODI) aligns with ODI AU_2.1b in the Southern Chinese population.

Methods: The translation of ODI AU_2.1b was performed according to guidelines from MAPI Research Trust and American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Psychometric properties of HKCODI were tested statistically by Pearson's correlation, Cronbach's Alpha and Intraclass  Correlation  Coefficient (ICC).

Results: A total of 200 subjects (109 males, 91 females) aged from 15 to 85 (mean age = 58.91) with LBP scored from 3/10 to 10/10 in the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were recruited in the Occupational Therapy Department of a tertiary referral center. HKCODI demonstrated strong construct validity in comparing with Hong Kong Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (HKRMDQ) (r = 0.666, p = 0.000), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)  Physical Composite Summary (- 0.700, p = 0.000) and VAS (0.487, p = 0.000). Excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability were confirmed with Cronbach's Alpha of 0.997 and ICC of 0.993 at 95% confidence level.

Conclusion: Cross-cultural adaptation of ODI AU_2.1b has been translated and validated as   HKCODI and Item-8 (Sex Life) was suggested to skip for patient older than 60. HKCODI is a fully self-administered and highly reliable tool in assessing the functional disability of patients with LBP in the Southern Chinese population.

Background: Achilles tendon rupture is a common orthopedic injury, with an annual incidence of 11-37 per 100000 people, significantly impacting daily life. Minimally invasive surgery, increasingly favored for its reduced risks and comparable fixation strength to open surgery, addresses these challenges. Despite advantages like accelerated recovery, perioperative care poses emotional support, pain management, and rehabilitation challenges, impacting treatment efficacy and patient experience.

Background: Chronic nonspecific low back pain (cNLBP) can be effectively treated by electroacupuncture (EA) at traditional acupoints (TAPs) and myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). However, the optimal type and frequency of stimulation (alternated frequency [AF] and high frequency [HF]) remain unclear. This study aimed to explore this.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical feasibility, efficacy and safety of a suture technique combining annulus fibrosus with posterior longitudinal ligament under full endoscopy in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Methods: Retrospective case-control study. A total of 412 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated in our hospital from January 2020 to November 2022 were enrolled and analyzed.

Objective: In the current study, to demonstrate the advantages of oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF), we focused on the therapeutics for lumbar spinal tuberculosis with the comparison of three treatments, including anterior approach, posterior approach, and OLIF combined with posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation.

Methods: This study included patients with lumbar spinal tuberculosis from July 2015 to June 2018. We divided these patients into three groups: 35 patients underwent an anterior-only approach (Group A), 36 patients underwent a posterior-only approach (Group B), and 31 patients underwent OLIF combined with posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (Group C).

Purpose: Synthetic cages are commonly used in posterior and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion procedures. Using morselized corticocancellous bone from spinous processes and laminae has been suggested as an alternative, especially in low-resource settings where access to synthetic cages is limited. The aim of this study was to compare radiographic and functional outcomes of synthetic cages with those of morselized local autograft.
