Introduction Lumbar pyogenic spondylodiscitis is a challenging and rare spinal infection with high morbidity, particularly in patients with comorbidities. While the extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) technique is established in treating degenerative spinal conditions, its efficacy in managing spondylodiscitis is less well-studied. This study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the XLIF approach combined with posterior instrumentation in patients with lumbar spondylodiscitis.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the timing and mode of failure of metallic screw-type suture anchors used to attach artificial tendons to bone in an New Zealand White rabbit model.

Study Design: Metal suture anchors with braided composite sutures of varying sizes (United States Pharmacopeia (USP) size 1, 2, or 5) were used to secure artificial tendons replacing both the Achilles and tibialis cranialis tendons in 12 female New Zealand White rabbits. Artificial tendons were implanted either at the time of (immediate replacement,  = 8), or four/five weeks after (delayed replacement,  = 4) resection of the biological tendon.

Axial radiographic spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease that leads to a considerable decline in the quality of life of patients by impairment of function and mobility, which, in turn, brings about a deterioration of both physical and mental health. Osteoporosis (OP) is a significant issue in the course of r-axSpA. Fractures resulting from OP complicate the treatment of the underlying disease and reduce the quality of life of patients.
