AB164. SOH24AB_155. The relationship between radiological paraspinal lumbar measures and clinical measures of sarcopenia in older patients with chronic lower back pain Open
Background: Sarcopenia is postulated to be an influential factor in chronic low back pain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between traditional clinical measures of sarcopenia and novel radiographic methods which evalu…

The impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on referral characteristics in a national tertiary spinal injuries unit. Open
Spinal injury continues to occur across almost all categories, albeit at considerably reduced numbers. RTAs and falls remained the most common MOI. Awareness needs to be drawn to the reduction of malignancy-related referrals to dissuade pe…

The relationship between radiological paraspinal lumbar measures and clinical measures of sarcopenia in older patients with chronic lower back pain Open
The results of our study demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between APCSA and %FI in the multifidus and erector spinae muscles. Further significant associations of relatability were depicted with traditional clinical meas…

Bilayered extracellular matrix derived scaffolds with anisotropic pore architecture guide tissue organization during osteochondral defect repair Open
While some clinical advances in cartilage repair have occurred, osteochondral (OC) defect repair remains a significant challenge, with current scaffold-based approaches failing to recapitulate the complex, hierarchical structure of native …

Changing Demographic Trends in spine trauma: The presentation and outcome of Major Spine Trauma in the elderly Open
Orthopaedic spinal trauma in older people is associated with a significantly higher mortality rate as well as a longer duration of hospitalization. Even though severity of injury is similar for both young and old patients, the mechanism of…

View article: AB207. SOH21AS014. Risk factors for failure in the management of traumatic cervical fractures with single-stage anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)
AB207. SOH21AS014. Risk factors for failure in the management of traumatic cervical fractures with single-stage anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) Open
Background: Diagnosis and appropriate management of traumatic cervical fractures is important due to secondary neurological sequelae and permanent disability that can arise. For fractures requiring surgical fixation 1-stage surgery is appe…

3D bioprinting of prevascularised implants for the repair of critically-sized bone defects Open
For 3D bioprinted tissues to be scaled-up to clinically relevant sizes, effective prevascularisation strategies are required to provide the necessary nutrients for normal metabolism and to remove associated waste by-products. The aim of th…

AB148. Transfer-time dependent mortality analysis of odontoid fractures: a retrospective review Open
Background: Management of odontoid fractures has often resulted in undesirable outcomes, with high rates of complications and mortality reported for both the conservative and operative approach. The purpose of this study is to assess how t…

AB121. Major spinal trauma in the elderly: a retrospective review Open
Background: Traumatic injuries are among the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Major trauma has seen a demographic shift in recent years from the young to the elderly. However, whether a similar trend in those undergoing ope…

AB152. Two stage anterior-posterior fusion for double major adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS): saving lumbar levels with improved derotation of the lowest instrumented vertebra Open
Background: There is no consensus on the correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) double major curves. Posterior only fusion may require extensive distal fusion or additional instrumentation, subsequently leading to a variety of…
