Department of Orthopedic Surgery, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: To develop parameter thresholds obtainable from cervical radiographs that correlate with concomitant thoracolumbar malalignment.
Summary Of Background Data: T1 slope (T1S) is typically discussed in the context of cervical deformity and correlated with health-related quality of life outcomes.

Background: Adults with spinal deformity (ASD) are known to have spinal malalignment, which can impact their quality of life and their autonomy in daily life activities. Among these tasks, ascending and descending stairs is a common activity of daily life that might be affected.
Research Question: What are the main kinematic alterations in ASD during stair ascent and descent?
Methods: 112 primary ASD patients and 34 controls filled HRQoL questionnaires and underwent biplanar X-from which spino-pelvic radiographic parameters were calculated.
Lumbar disc space height in relation to neural foraminal dimensions and patient characteristics: A morphometric analysis from L1-S1 using computed tomography.

Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and Neurological Surgery, Duke University Health System, Durham, NC, USA.
Introduction: The normative relationship between lumbar intervertebral disc space height (DSH) and neuroforaminal dimensions (NFD) has yet to be defined.
Research Question: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between lumbar DSH and NFD using computed tomography (CT), accounting for influences of patient demographic and anthropometric characteristics.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed CT imaging of 350 female and 350 male patients.

A 55-year-old-male with a chronic left uretero-pelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction managed with intermittent stent exchanges presented with low midline back pain. CT Abdomen/Pelvis revealed spondylodiscitis at L4-L5, further demonstrated on MRI Lumbar spine. Imaging also revealed the left nephro-ureteral stent was mispositioned, with some mild wall thickening of the left ureter.

Background: Prospective, longitudinal collection of patients reported outcomes (PRO) has become an essential metric in orthopedics. Despite the utility of PROs, data collection presents a significant challenge to the healthcare system. There is a need to better understand if serial data collection over a 1 to 2 year postoperative period is truly warranted.
