Background Context: Correcting sagittal malalignment in adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a challenging task, often requiring complex surgical interventions like pedicle subtraction osteotomies (PSOs). Different types of three-column osteotomies (3COs), including Schwab 3, Schwab 4, Schwab 4 with interbody cages, and the "sandwich" technique, aim to optimize alignment and fusion outcomes. The role of interbody cages in enhancing fusion and segmental correction remains unclear.

Axial spondyloarthritis manifests as a chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the sacroiliac joints and spine. Although chronic back pain and spinal stiffness are typical initial symptoms, peripheral (ie, enthesitis, arthritis, and dactylitis) and extra-musculoskeletal (ie, uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and psoriasis) manifestations are also common. Timely and accurate diagnosis is challenging and relies on identifying a clinical pattern with a combination of clinical, laboratory (HLA-B27 positivity), and imaging findings (eg, structural damage on pelvic radiographs and bone marrow oedema on MRI of the sacroiliac joints).

Introduction: Many factors can influence a radiographer to leave the clinical profession. The retention of radiographers in the clinical workforce is an issue for many countries including Ireland. This study aimed to explore factors influencing radiographers in Ireland to leave the clinical profession so that changes can be considered to reduce attrition from clinical workforce.

Objectives: To explore outcomes after tibial rigid intramedullary nailing (RIMN) in skeletally immature patients, with a focus on post-operative complications and iatrogenic changes in tibial slope due to anterior physeal arrest.
Methods: Design: Retrospective case series.
Setting: A large, tertiary care health system in the rural Mid-Atlantic United States, including two Level 1 trauma centers and one Level 2 trauma center.

Background: Early-term complications may not predict long-term success after adult cervical deformity (ACD) correction.
Objective: Evaluate whether optimal realignment results in similar rates of perioperative complications but achieves longer-term cost-utility.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
