Purpose: To compare the biomechanical behavior of vertebrae with vertebral compression fractures (VCF) treated by a novel system with pedicular anchorage (dowelplasty) versus balloon kyphoplasty.
Methods: Four cadaveric spines (T12-L5) were harvested, cleaned from soft tissues, and separated into vertebrae. Axial compressive loads were applied to each vertebra until a VCF was generated.
Comparison of Cobb angle measurements for scoliosis assessment using different imaging modalities: a systematic review.

Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the accuracy and repeatability of Cobb angle measurements from different imaging methods like radiographs and EOS (stereo-radiographs), following systematic review guidelines and a thorough literature search.
- - Out of nearly 3000 records, 14 studies were included, showing that Cobb angle measurements can vary significantly based on the imaging method and patient position, with standing radiographs often giving higher angles than supine MRI and CT scans.
- - The findings highlight significant agreements across imaging methods but also caution that differences in angles (up to 11º) may affect scoliosis diagnosis, urging clinicians to be cautious when comparing results from different modalities and positions.
