MRI-based measurements of spondylolisthesis and kyphosis in degenerative cervical myelopathy
To provide normative data and to determine accuracy and reliability of preoperative measurements of spondylolisthesis and kyphosis on supine static magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with degenerativ... (Source: BMC Medical Imaging)

Efficacy of minimally invasive tubular approaches for management of the lumbar spinal synovial cysts: a meta-analysis
AbstractThe treatment of lumbar spinal synovial cysts (LSCs) which are relatively rare but can cause neurogenic dysfunction and intractable pain has been a controversial topic for many years. Surgical excision of LSCs is the standard treatment for patients in whom conservative treatment options fail. This meta-analysis was undertaken to compare clinical outcomes between minimally invasive approaches using tubular retractors (microscopic vs. endoscopic) and traditional percutaneous approaches for LSCs. Studies reporting surgical management of LSCs were searched in the Cochrane Library, PubMed and Web of Science database. Th...

Forearm bone mineral density predicts screw loosening after lumbar fusion similar to lumbar Hounsfield unit value in patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis
ConclusionsThe forearm BMD was an independent risk factor for loosening of the lumbar pedicle screws. The forearm BMD was a valid predictor of pedicle screw loosening in patients undergoing lumbar fusion, as was the CT HU value. (Source: Osteoporosis International)

Total body bone mineral density and various spinal disorders: a Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionThis study verified an association of total-body BMD with spinal stenosis and with spondylosis. Our results imply that when an increasing trend in BMD is detected during patient examinations and if the patient complains of numbness and pain, the potential occurrence of conditions such as spondylosis or spinal stenosis should be investigated and treated appropriately.
