Introduction The role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently been enhanced in
the diagnosis of thoracolumbar fractures due to its ability to examine soft tissue injury. …

Study Design. Prospective cohort study. Objective. To study magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
accuracy in diagnosing posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) damage, when applying …

Purpose Posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) components have an orderly sequence of
rupture. However, it is still unclear how many structures have to be damaged to consider it …

Study Design. Prospective cohort study. Objective. To study whether there is a sequential
pattern in the posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) rupture caused by deforming traumatic …

Purpose There is controversy regarding the effect of the Ponte osteotomies in the improvement
of coronal correction, its maintenance during follow-up, and the restoration of thoracic …

Study Design. Prospective radiographic and clinical analysis. Objective. To evaluate
whether radiographic spinopelvic parameters correlate with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) …

Study Design. Prospectively updated long-term data and retrospective case series analysis.
Objective. To report the long-term results of selective anterior instrumented thoracolumbar (…

Background context Adult scoliosis surgery is a challenging procedure with high rate of
complications and reoperations. Reoperation rates vary widely. Long-term survival for this …

Objective To compare results of posterior correction and fusion with a hybrid construct using
a standard posterior release (SPR) versus adding a wide posterior release (WPR), in …

The vertebral fracture patterns of AO classification have been established historically via
radiograph and computed tomography analysis, achieving modest reproducibility values. The …
