Effectiveness and prognostic factors of different minimally invasive surgeries for vertebral compression fractures by Wei Wang, Yi Liu, Hao Wan, LiangPing Zeng, ZongLi Peng, DanDan Yang, Kun Tian

“…Low back pain is the main symptom of OVCF, and severe patients can further develop kyphosis. Although the conservative treatment of OVCF can effectively control the patient's condition, long-term bed rest will increase the risk of OVCF complications. …”

Sagittal imbalance syndrome, a new concept, helps determining a long fusion for patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis and severe global sagittal imbalance by Shibao Lu, Weiguo Zhu, Yu Wang, Chao Kong, Wei Wang, Xiaolong Chen, Xiangyu Li

“…Results Patients with sagittal imbalance syndrome were detected to have more paraspinal muscle degeneration and less compensatory potentials for sagittal imbalance (smaller thoracic kyphosis and larger pelvic tilt) than those without this diagnosis. …”

Evaluation of bone mineral density in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using a three-dimensional finite element model: a retrospective study by Chaofan Han, Chaochao Zhou, Hanwen Zhang, Peng Yin, Runsheng Guo, Wei Wang, Yiqi Zhang, Thomas Cha, Guoan Li, Yong Hai

“…Results The mean main curve Cobb angle was 88.6 ± 36.7°, and the mean kyphosis angle was 36.8 ± 31.5°. The mean BMD of the global spine was 0.83 ± 0.15 g/cm2. …”

Relationships between Paraspinal Muscle and Spinopelvic Sagittal Balance in Patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis by Wei Wang, Zhuoran Sun, Weishi Li, Zhongqiang Chen

“…The spinopelvic sagittal parameters were also measured, including sagittal vertical axis (SVA), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic kyphosis (TK), and PI minus LL (PI‐LL). Correlations between measurements of paraspinal muscle and sagittal parameters were investigated by Pearson correlation analysis. …”

Compensation Characteristics of Spinal Sagittal Malalignment According to Pelvic Incidence in Elderly Patients with Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis by Dong‐Fan Wang, Xiang‐Yu Li, Wei Wang, Yong‐Jin Li, Chao Kong, Shi‐Bao Lu

“…Sagittal parameters were obtained on the whole spinal lateral radiograph, including T1‐T12 slope (T1S‐T12S), Cobb angle (CA) of the functional units of the thoracic spine, thoracic kyphosis (TK), lumbar lordosis (LL), sacral slope (SS), pelvic tilt (PT), PI, the ratio of PT to PI (PT/PI), PI minus LL mismatch (PI‐LL), sagittal vertical axis (SVA). …”
