Radiographic and surgery-related predictive factors for increased segmental lumbar lordosis following lumbar fusion surgery in patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis
ConclusionsPre-op SLL, cage position, and spondylolisthesis reduction rate were identified as significant predictors of SLL restoration after LFS for DLS. Surgeons are advised to meticulously select patients based on pre-op SLL and strive to position the cage more anteriorly while minimizing spondylolisthesis to maximize SLL restoration.

The Classification of Lumbar Spondylolisthesis X-Ray Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks
AbstractWe aimed to develop and validate a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) model capable of accurately identifying spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis on lateral or dynamic X-ray images. A total of 2449 lumbar lateral and dynamic X-ray images were collected from two tertiary hospitals. These images were categorized into lumbar spondylolysis (LS), degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS), and normal lumbar in a proportional manner. Subsequently, the images were randomly divided into training, validation, and test sets to establish a classification recognition network. The model training and validation process uti...

Instrumented L5-S1 interbody graft with IFUSE implant using the reverse Bohlman technique
We present the case of a 38-year-old woman with L5S1 interbody pseudarthrosis after posterior fixation for grade 2 L5-S1 spondylolisthesis with isthmic lysis of L5, and that of a 69-year-old woman who underwent a posterior T4 fusion to the pelvis for degenerative scoliosis. Both required a trans-lumbosacral instrumented fusion via an anterior approach using the reverse Bohlman technique. Surgical technique was described.RESULTS: There were no perioperative or postoperative complications. At 6 months, the patients reported a decrease in lumbar and radicular symptomatology. There were no infectious, neurological or vascular ...

Axial T1-weighted imaging of the lumbar spine: a redundancy or an asset?
ConclusionThere was no clinically significant difference in the interpretation of lumbar spine MRI viewed with and without axial T1-weighted imaging, suggesting that the axial T1-weighted sequence does not add diagnostic value to routine lumbar spine MRI. (Source: Skeletal Radiology)

Chronic Low Back Pain in Adults: Evaluation and Management
Am Fam Physician. 2024 Mar;109(3):233-244.ABSTRACTChronic low back pain, defined as lumbar pain persisting for 12 weeks or more, occurs in about 13% of U.S. adults. Patients with chronic low back pain should have a history and physical examination to identify red flags that may indicate serious conditions that warrant immediate intervention or yellow flags (i.e., psychological, environmental, and social factors) that indicate risk of disability. The examination should include an evaluation for radicular symptoms. Routine imaging is not recommended but is indicated when red flags are present, there is a neuromuscular defici...
