Background: Cervical spondylitis is accompanied by segmental instability and sagittal imbalance. The purpose of this work is to conduct a search of correlation between sagittal parameters and clinical outcomes in cervical spondylitis.
Materials And Methods: The monocentric cohort study encompassed the clinical and radiological data of 59 patients who underwent reconstructive surgeries on the suboccipital, subaxial, and cervicothoracic spine. We evaluated local cervical sagittal parameters: cervical sagittal vertical axis (CSVA), T1 slope (T1S), -HRQOL (Oswestry Disability Index-ODI)-and others pre- and postoperatively.
Results: The duration of the therapeutic pause and T1S correlated with HRQOL. It revealed the direct relationship between the age of the patient and the value of CSVA. A significant predictor of postoperative complications is the level of comorbidity with an index of 7 or more on the Charlson scale.
Conclusions: The factors influencing HRQOL in this pathology are the duration of the therapeutic pause and the magnitude of T1S compensation. Anterior reconstruction of the cervical spine in the presence of spondylitis yields a correction of the sagittal balance parameters. The leading predictors of complications from the surgical treatment of cervical spondylitis are the Charlson comorbidity index and the variant of anterior reconstruction.

We propose learnable 3D pooling (L3P), a CNN module designed to compress 3D information into 2D feature maps using anisotropic convolutions and unidirectional max pooling. Specifically, we used L3P followed by a 2D network to generate predictions from 3D brain CT-Angiography (CTA) in the context of large vessel occlusion (LVO). To further demonstrate its versatility, we extended its application to 3D brain MRI analysis for brain age prediction.

Study Design: Meta-Analysis.
Objective: This meta-analysis will compare transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) to Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) at L5-S1 in lumbar degenerative spine diseases (DSD).
Background: Interbody device placement is indicated for alignment correction, sustaining decompression, achieving fusion, and is an effective and widely performed surgical treatment for lumbar DSD.
Objective: L5/S1 segment is one of the most common lumbar degenerative segments with high clinical failure rate. When the clinically responsible segment consists of one or more segments including L4/L5 segment, whether to merge the severely degraded L5/S1 segment together is a common problem plaguing clinicians. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the risk factors for preoperative adjacent segment degeneration L5/S1 segment occuring Postoperative adjacent segment disease(ASDis), analyze the correlation between the high risk factors and the occurrence of adjacent segment disease, clarify the preventive measures and direction, and provide references for clinical selection of personalized treatment.

Objective: Inertial measurement units (IMUs) offer a method for assessing gait beyond the confines of a laboratory. Signal noise and calibration errors pose significant obstacles to accurately estimating joint angles, particularly during dynamic activities such as running. Advancements in dynamic optimisation tools could enable a more comprehensive analysis with fewer sensors and/or low-quality data.

Introduction: The Schanz screw system was developed for manual reduction of traumatic sagittal deformity of thoracic and lumbar vertebral fracture. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiological effectiveness of this system in the surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures (TLBFs) with severe kyphotic deformity without neurological deficit.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 101 patients who underwent short posterior fixation with transpedicular Schanz screws between 2012 and 2022 for single-level (T12 or L1) TLBFs.
