Departamento de Ortopedia e Anestesiologia, Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brasil.
The aim of the present study was to detect atypical Scheuermann's disease through computed tomography scans and estimate its prevalence. This cross-sectional observational study involved 1,287 computed tomography scans from patients aged 18 to 40 years of both genders. The criteria for diagnosing atypical Scheuermann's disease included wedging of 5° in 3 consecutive vertebrae, combined with a total Cobb angle of 10° or more within the thoracolumbar interval from T8 to L2.

Article Synopsis
- The video article discusses the far posterior or paraspinal approach for treating posterior rib fractures, which enhances intraoperative visibility and minimizes muscle damage.
- This method helps preserve periscapular strength, achieving up to 95% recovery six months after surgery through muscle-sparing techniques.
- The surgical process involves precise skin incision and careful dissection of muscles like the trapezius, rhomboids, and latissimus dorsi to allow for effective access and treatment of the fractures without significant tissue loss.
The reliability of a ball-tipped probe for detection of breached versus non-breached pedicle drill tracts in the thoracolumbar and lumbar spine of a canine large breed cadaveric model.

Background: Spinal stabilization in dogs is challenging, and improper implant placement can result in significant morbidity. Objectives were to evaluate reliability of a ball-tipped probe for detection of breached versus non-breached pedicle drill tracts in a canine large breed cadaveric model. CT scans obtained from T6 to sacrum.

Background: The epidemiology, treatment and prognosis of thoracolumbar vertebral fractures are fundamentally influenced by the bone quality of the patient. In individuals with healthy bone structure, a high-energy trauma is typically required to cause a fracture. In contrast, osteoporosis can cause fractures and also be present as a comorbid pathology in traumatic fractures.

Background: The rotational motion of the spine plays a crucial role in daily activities. Understanding the mechanisms of spinal rotation is essential for evaluating normal spinal function, especially in standing positions due to the influence of gravity. However, previous studies on spinal rotation have been limited.
