Summary: This study investigated the asymmetry of paravertebral muscle degeneration and its relationship with surface electromyography (sEMG) characteristics in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS). The results showed that the asymmetrical sEMG activity of the paravertebral muscles was associated with the severity of scoliosis and lumbar lordotic angle.

Summary: This study aimed to find a standard of vertebral kinematics during functional weight-bearing activities in degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) patients. The study found that the greatest coupled translation occurred at L5-S1 in DLS patients. The coupled anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) translations at L5-S1 were higher in these patients compared to healthy participants.

Summary: This prospective case-control study analyzed global coronal malalignment (GCM) in degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) and investigated the performance of priority-matching correction technique on preventing postoperative coronal imbalance. The study found that priority-matching technique can limit the development of postoperative coronal decompensation.

Summary: This study reviewed 187 patients who underwent degenerative lumbar spinal surgery using minimally invasive spinal fusions techniques and found that the rate of ADTs was 11.764%. ADTs were more frequent in cases of previous surgery. The study suggests that MAST provides a certain level of protection in reducing ADTs.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of posterior approach transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in treating degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) based on the concept of intervertebral correction. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 76 surgical patients who underwent TLIF in Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. The results showed significantly improved clinical efficacy and spinal curvature parameters, suggesting that TLIF based on the concept of intervertebral correction provides favorable outcomes for the treatment of DLS.

Summary: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a common disease in the elderly population, often requiring surgery. Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS), including techniques like endoscopic spine surgery (ESS), is gaining popularity as a potential replacement for traditional open surgery in the treatment of LSS associated with degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS).

Summary: This post hoc analysis examined the performance of machine learning models in predicting outcomes for adult symptomatic lumbar scoliosis patients. The results showed that the models performed better than chance in predicting major complications, reoperations, and hospital readmissions.

Summary: The study aimed to verify the validity of GAP score, SRS-Schwab score, and Roussouly theoretical apex of lordosis in predicting mechanical complications in ASD. The results showed that GAP score had no discriminant ability, SRS-Schwab score had modest predictive value, and pelvic tilt and sagittal vertical axis at 6 weeks postoperatively were significantly associated with later mechanical complications. There was no significant association between matched Roussouly theoretical apex of lordosis and final outcome.

Summary: The directionality of the lumbosacral fractional curve relative to the C7 plumb line was found to be associated with postoperative coronal imbalance in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis. The consistency pattern might be an independent risk factor for postoperative coronal imbalance.

Summary: This study aims to detect the essential variables that predict the development of symptomatic degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) using the random forest of machine learning algorithms technique. The results indicate that the anteroposterior diameter of the bony canal at L5 (in males) and L4 (in females) levels have the greatest stimulus for symptomatic DLSS onset.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effects of fusion surgery on pelvic obliquity in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The results showed that patients with preoperative pelvic obliquity had a higher incidence of postoperative coronal decompensation, and postoperative changes in pelvic obliquity may be related to residual lumbar curve behavior.

Summary: This study demonstrates the accuracy of drill guide assisted pedicle screw placement in thoracolumbar spinal deformity surgery by superimpose CT-analysis. Results show that all screws were positioned within the safe zone, with a mean linear deviation of 0.92 mm and mean angular deviation of 2.92 degrees. The patient specific 3D-printed guide technology is recommended as a safe and accurate tool for precise pedicle screw insertion.

Summary: The study evaluated a new self-distracting device ApiFix for treating AIS, showing promising clinical and radiographic results initially. However, due to a high rate of serious complications within 2 years, the study was terminated early, indicating the device's unsuitability for further clinical application despite recent FDA approval.

Summary: The study shows that gait adaptability is improved in knee osteoarthritis patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and is no longer significantly worse than asymptomatic adults. The improvement in gait adaptability is related to functional outcomes, as it predicts the improvement in the TimedUp-and-Go test (TUG) post-TKA.

Summary: This study aims to provide an updated and comprehensive overview of modeling studies on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), focusing on understanding the mechanics of deformities, predicting curve progression, and substantiating etiopathogenetic theories. The review categorized studies into animal, machine learning, artificial, and computational models, with machine learning modeling identified as the most effective predictor of curve progression. The study concludes that although AIS is complex and multifactorial, its deformity progression can be accurately predicted and modeling techniques offer potential for risk factor identification and mitigation strategies.
