Cardiac dysfunction after operative correction of a thoracic hyperkyphosis in a patient with a severe pectus excavatum Open
Introduction Thoracic hyperkyphosis can occur idiopathically, in the context of Scheuermann’s disease, or in association with neuromuscular or metabolic disorders. Treatment depends on the patient’s age, severity of the deformity, and unde…

Volumetric assessment of the soft tissue envelope in unilateral closed ankle fractures using a portable 3D scanner Open
Management of ankle fractures necessitating surgery is impacted by soft tissue swelling, often delaying open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Subjective evaluations are inconsistent, and traditional measurement methods are often ina…

The influence of sintering of osteoporotic vertebral fractures on the sagittal lumbar profile and degenerative changes Open
Background Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder affecting nearly 20% of the global population, poses a significant health concern, with osteoporotic vertebral body fractures (VBF) representing a common clinical manifestation. The impact of os…

Doctor, when can I drive? – compensation capability while driving with restricted elbow – a biomechanical analysis Open
This study first describes the changes in movement patterns of the upper extremity while driving with a restricted right elbow. Our data suggest that restricted right elbow flexion or extension can be compensated by the left arm and a diff…

Impact of Different Operative Techniques for Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis on Frontal Curve Correction and Sagittal Balance Open
BACKGROUND: Surgical correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis from the posterior approach can be performed by the “all screws” technique; hybrid technique with screws and hooks; hybrid technique or with screws, hooks, and tapes; or se…

Considering Hounsfield Units in native CT- scans for diagnosing spondylodiscitis Open
Background MRI being the method of choice for radiological diagnosis of spondylodiscitis is still often delayed. The significance of native CT Scans as an alternative diagnostic tool for spondylodiscitis is poor according to the current da…

Outcome of Targeted vs Empiric Antibiotic Therapy in the Treatment of Spondylodiscitis: A Retrospective Analysis of 201 Patients Open
BACKGROUND: Antibiotic treatment of spondylodiscitis is influenced by antibiotic stewardship; specifically, empirical antibiotic therapy is avoided in favor of—delayed—targeted antibiotic therapy after microbiological diagnosis. Only patie…

May bending radiographs be replaced by magnetic resonance imaging in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis? Open
Purpose There is no data that shows if it is possible to determine if a curve is structural or non-structural or to assess flexibility of an adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) instead of bending radio…

Bovine-derived xenograft is a viable bone graft substitute in multilevel, instrumented, spinal fusion. Open
Objective To evaluate radiological outcomes following the use of xenogeneic bone graft substitute (BGS) in patients undergoing multisegmental spinal fusion. Summery of Background Data Data exists for single level and short segment fusions,…
View article: May bending radiographs be replaced by recumbent CT scans in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis?
May bending radiographs be replaced by recumbent CT scans in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis? Open
Purpose There is no data that show if it is possible to determine if a curve is structural or non-structural or to assess flexibility of an adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) by recumbent images like a CT scan (CTS) instead of bending r…

Evaluating Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Degeneration on a Compositional Level Using Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer: Preliminary Results in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Open
Lumbar intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is characterized by structural and compositional changes. This study aimed to assess the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content of IVDs of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and healt…

Effective dose of radiation per screw in surgery of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: Matched pair analysis of 293 pedicle screws inserted using three different techniques Open
Purpose Reports on heterogenous groups of patients have indicated that pedicle screw insertion guided by navigation (PIN) leads to, for the patient, higher doses of radiation compared with pedicle screw insertion guided by fluoroscopy (PIF…
View article: MRI based analysis of grade of spinal canal stenosis and grade of compression of nerve root by lumbar disc herniation as tools to predict probability to need surgical treatment
MRI based analysis of grade of spinal canal stenosis and grade of compression of nerve root by lumbar disc herniation as tools to predict probability to need surgical treatment Open
The investigated group of PWN had a significantly higher probability to need surgical treatment if they had a high-grade stenosis of the spinal canal. However, these results do not constitute a general indication for surgical treatment of …

Signal Intensity of Lumbar Disc Herniations: Correlation With Age of Herniation for Extrusion, Protrusion, and Sequestration Open
SIR of extrusion referenced by nucleus pulposus of the affected intervertebral disc does show a high correlation with days since onset of herniation and may be applied to monitor changes of SI of LDH after herniation in standard MRIs of th…
