Department of Spine Surgery, University Hospital of Vall d'Hebron, 129 Passeig Vall d´Hebron, 08035, Barcelona, Spain.
Purpose: To determine patient-reported clinical status in a cohort of patients operated on during adolescence for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) using Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation after a minimum follow-up (FU) of 25 years.
Methods: Multicentric cross-sectional observational study. We assessed the clinical status of patients using the lumbar-pain numeric rating scale (NRS), ODI, SRS-22r, SF-36, and EQ-5D-5L.
Semi-segmented lumbar supernumerary hemivertebra resection in congenital scoliosis: a case report.

Background: Congenital scoliosis with progressive potential is a controversial subject in early-onset spinal deformities. The presence of a hemivertebra may produce severe spinal deformities. The evolution of a scoliotic curve in these cases is unpredictable and requires careful follow-up dependent on multiple variables, such as the location of the hemivertebra, the age of the patient at the time of diagnosis, and the degree of deformity already present in both sagittal and frontal planes.

Department of Neurosurgery, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan.
Introduction: With increasing life expectancy, degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) has become a common problem in the geriatric population. LSS reduces the quality of life, limits daily activities, and requires therapeutic aids. We share our experiences of treating octogenarian patients with LSS with key lesion percutaneous single portal endoscopic unilateral laminotomy and bilateral decompression (sEndo-ULBD).

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Nihon University, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
Dandy-Walker malformations (DWM) is a rare condition with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 30 000 cases. Although DWM often complicates scoliosis, its prevalence and the time of onset are unknown because only a few reports have described the association between scoliosis and DWM. This case series describes spinal deformity associated with DWM.

School of Medicine, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY, USA.
Background: Obesity in the pediatric population has been a growing medical concern over the last few decades with a prevalence of 19.7% as of 2017-2020. Obesity is a risk factor for greater scoliotic curves and failure of conservative therapy for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).
