Surgical treatment of scoliosis in neurofibromatosis type I: A retrospective study on posterior-only correction with third-generation instrumentation
Conclusions: The posterior-only approach produces a satisfactory correction of the dystrophic neurofibromatosis scoliosis if associated with the use of high-density third-generation instrumentations. We are confident in recommending posterior-only approach in dystrophic neurofibromatosis scoliosis with coronal curves till 110° and coexisting thoracic kyphosis till 80° (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Diagnostic yield and technical aspects of fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous transpedicular biopsy of the spine: A single-center retrospective analysis of outcomes and review of the literature
Conclusion: Percutaneous transpedicular fluoroscopy-guided biopsy with a Jamshidi trocar with an internal diameter of 3.1 mm is a simple, safe, and reliable method for the etiological diagnosis of vertebral lesions. The use of this technique, however, is dependent on the accurate placement of the trocar and on close qualified interdisciplinary clinical cooperation. This minimally invasive technique is simple, safe, and effective in the diagnosis of malignant and infective lesions. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Does kyphosis in healed subaxial cervical spine tuberculosis equate to a poor functional outcome ?
Conclusion: Healing of subaxial cervical TB in kyphosis does not necessitate a poor clinical outcome as most patients remain asymptomatic. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Augmented reality and artificial intelligence-assisted surgical navigation: Technique and cadaveric feasibility study
Conclusions: The ARAI surgical navigation system correctly and accurately identified the starting points at all the attempted levels. The virtual anatomy image overlay precisely corresponded to the actual anatomy in all the tested scenarios. This technology may lead more uniform outcomes between surgeons and decrease minimally invasive spine surgery learning curves. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

A study of cervical vertebra anomalies among individuals with different sagittal and vertical facial growth patterns
Conclusions: PC, fusion, and D were the most frequently found CVA, and SB was found only among the hypodivergent growth pattern individuals. The association of CVA with vertical facial growth patterns was not significant, somewhat influenced by age, sex, and sagittal skeletal malocclusions.

The incidence of odontoid fractures following trauma in a major trauma center, a retrospective study
Conclusion: The incidence of posttraumatic odontoid fractures is low, given the younger population of this study. This does not predict future incidence rates with the continued improvement of road traffic laws and awareness in the population. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Is C2-3 fusion an evidence of atlantoaxial instability ? An analysis based on surgical treatment of seven patients
Conclusion: The presence of C2–3 fusion is an indication of atlantoaxial instability and suggests the need for atlantoaxial stabilization. Effects on the subaxial spine and spinal cord are secondary events and may not be surgically addressed. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Prevalence of facet joint arthritis and its association with spinal pain in mountain population & #8211; A cross-sectional study
Conclusions: People residing and actually ambulating in the mountain regions and exposed to the terrain have higher prevalence of Facet joint arthritis as compared to general population and this may be an independent risk factor for development of facet joint arthritis. However, a statistically significant relation between FJA and spinal pain exists only in cervical and dorsal spine. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Validation of the concavity & #8211;convexity quotient as a new method to measure the magnitude of scoliosis
Conclusions: Our study provides Level III evidence that CCQ represents a promising alternative or a complementary method to the traditional Cobb angle due to its simple and reliable ability to measure the magnitude of the curve. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)
