Summary: This article introduces a novel surgical technique called the coin-hole technique or minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (MISS) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Compared to conventional open surgery, MISS has advantages such as a smaller incision, less blood loss and postoperative pain, and lower infection rates. However, complications have been reported in the initial stages of using MISS for AIS.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of facet fusion in minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (MISS) compared to conventional open scoliosis surgery (COSS). The results showed that facet fusion in MISS had comparable radiological and clinical outcomes to posterior fusion in COSS. The type of graft substitute did not affect facet fusion rate or clinical outcomes in MISS.

Summary: Results showed that COSS was more effective in correcting the main curve, but MISS had shorter hospital stays, less blood loss, and better cosmesis. There were no significant differences in the global balance factors between the two groups.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed a large cohort of AIS patients who underwent spinal fusion surgery and found that the overall revision rate was 2.8%, with implants and incision problems being the most common causes of revision surgeries.

Summary: This article presents an original surgical technique for the treatment of rigid Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis (AdIS) and evaluates the results in a cohort of 40 patients. The surgical technique, Hi-PoAD, proved to be safe and effective in correcting spinal deformity and improving clinical outcomes.

Summary: Scoliosis, a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, is closely related to genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Epigenetic alterations in scoliosis have been studied but a comprehensive review is lacking. We analyzed 25 studies on DNA methylation, non-coding RNAs, histone modifications, and chromatin remodeling in scoliosis. DNA methylation and non-coding RNAs are well-researched, providing insights into prevention and treatment strategies. However, there is limited research on histone modifications and chromatin remodeling in scoliosis. Further exploration is needed to understand the overall effects of epigenetics in scoliosis.

Summary: This study evaluated the learning curve of minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (MISS) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. The results showed significant improvements in operative time and estimated blood loss (EBL) over time. Proficient surgical skills required more than 46 cases of MISS.

Summary: This study examined when adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients return to athletic activities after surgical spinal correction and if they change their activities. The results showed that on average, it took 8 months of postoperative rest for patients to return to sport activities. Furthermore, there was an increase in the proportion of patients participating in sport activities postoperatively, with a shift from contact sports to non-contact sports.

Summary: This study aims to explore the factors that affect patient satisfaction with surgical treatment of scoliosis and evaluate the impact of satisfaction on the different domains of the SRS-22 questionnaire and radiographic parameters. The analysis reveals a significant positive correlation between self-image and satisfaction, indicating its crucial role in postoperative quality of life and surgical decision making.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the benefits of robot-assisted (RA) technique and conventional fluoroscopy-assisted (FA) technique in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) correction surgery. Results showed that both techniques achieved efficient radiographic correction and similar clinical outcomes. However, the RA technique had a higher accuracy of screw implantations in AIS patients with a thoracic scoliotic curve, but also had longer operation time, increased blood loss, and transfusion volume due to the learning curve.

Summary: This study aims to verify the link between obesity and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). By conducting X-ray measurements on obese adolescents, it was found that the prevalence of AIS in this population is twice as high as in the general population.

Summary: This study developed a deep learning algorithm to automatically evaluate and diagnose scoliosis on full spinal X-ray images. The model achieved high sensitivity and accuracy for parameters such as the Cobb angle, apical vertebrae, and demonstrated potential to improve diagnostic efficiency for radiologists.

Summary: This paper presents a novel robotic exoskeleton for controlling the motion and forces exerted on the torso in the treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). The exoskeleton utilizes dynamical formulation and a mass-spring-damper model to model the AIS rehabilitation process. It also employs impedance control and a Model Reference Adaptive Impedance Control (MRAIC) to improve the interaction control.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to measure both radiological parameters and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients and analyze their correlation. The results showed that surgical treatment can effectively correct scoliosis and significantly improve patient-reported outcomes.
