Impact of spinal alignment on adjacent segment disease and degeneration after short-segment lumbosacral fusion Open
In this long-term follow-up study of patients undergoing short-segment lumbosacral fusion, neither preoperative nor postoperative SPA was significantly associated with the development of ASDis or ASDeg. These findings suggest that other fa…
The importance of the posterior osteoligamentous complex of the lumbar spine: dogma changing biomechanical insights Open
Background During full flexion of the spine, the paraspinal muscles are largely inactive. This suggests that passive structures like the posterior osteoligamentous complex (POLC), consisting of interspinous and supraspinous ligaments and t…
Anatomical landmark detection on bi-planar radiographs for predicting spinopelvic parameters Open
Introduction Accurate landmark detection is essential for precise analysis of anatomical structures, supporting diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring in patients with spinal deformities. Conventional methods rely on laborious landm…
Subject-Specific Alignment and Mass Distribution in Musculoskeletal Models of the Lumbar Spine Open
Musculoskeletal modeling is a well-established method in spine biomechanics and generally employed for investigations concerning both the healthy and the pathological spine. It commonly involves inverse kinematics and optimization of muscl…
