Background: The impact of fatty liver disease on lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) represents an intriguing area of study, particularly in light of established research linking obesity to bone metabolism. However, there remains limited investigation into the correlation between quantifying liver fat content (LFC) and lumbar BMD among overweight and obese populations, particularly within the Chinese demographic. This study aims to accurately quantify LFC and investigate its association with lumbar BMD in overweight or obese individuals.

Fractures of the thoracic (Th) and lumbar (L) vertebrae are among the most frequent fracture entities in Germany and particularly affect the thoracolumbar junction (TLJ; Th11-L2). Based on expert recommendations and consensus meetings, the thoracolumbar AOSpine injury score was established for patients with healthy bone and the osteoporotic fracture (OF) score for geriatric patients with the respective classifications for treatment decisions. In both cohorts, the treatment decision is based on the fracture morphology, neurological status and patient-specific contextual factors.

Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) commonly occur at the thoracolumbar junction, and delayed neurological deficits are rare. Here, a 76-year-old female presented with low back pain and the late onset of symptoms characterized by lumbar radiculopathy. She had been suffering from lower back pain for four weeks and developed lumbar radiculopathy in the left L3 area.

Introduction Lumbar pyogenic spondylodiscitis is a challenging and rare spinal infection with high morbidity, particularly in patients with comorbidities. While the extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) technique is established in treating degenerative spinal conditions, its efficacy in managing spondylodiscitis is less well-studied. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the XLIF approach combined with posterior instrumentation in patients with lumbar spondylodiscitis.

Introduction: Adolescents with a lower peak bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) have an elevated risk of osteoporosis in adulthood. The impact of diet on bone health, particularly its role in managing inflammation, which is a key factor in bone health, is gaining wider recognition. Despite evidence that anti-inflammatory diets can enhance bone health, the link between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and bone health among US adolescents has not been thoroughly investigated.
