Article Abstract
Fracture of isolated spinous processes at multiple levels is a rare injury. Herein, we present a 45-year-old male with cervical pain and swelling following a road traffic accident. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed fractures of spinous process from C7 to D6 vertebra. The patient was managed with rest, analgesics and immobilization. At the 1-year follow-up, the patient is doing well without any neurological problem.

Objectives: The escalating global incidence of obesity, cardiometabolic disease and sarcopenia necessitates reliable body composition measurement tools. MRI-based assessment is the gold standard, with utility in both clinical and drug trial settings. This study aims to validate a new automated volumetric MRI method by comparing with manual ground truth, prior volumetric measurements, and against a new method for semi-automated single-slice area measurements.

Purpose: To develop a comprehensive ICF Core Set (ICF-CS) for vertebral fragility fracture.
Materials And Methods: The development of ICF-CSs involves three phases: i) systematic literature review and qualitative studies; ii) linking process to identify the ICF codes and categories; iii) international consensus process. i) We performed a literature search and qualitative studies with people with vertebral fragility fractures and healthcare professionals; ii) We linked the findings from the search and qualitative studies to the ICF categories, and drafted the proposed ICF-CS; iii) We performed an international consensus process involving experts with clinical or research experience in management of vertebral fragility fractures.
The Utility of Cervical Vertebral Maturation Method for Staging Skeletal Growth and Curve Progression in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Background: Cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) is a skeletal maturity method that can be assessed routinely on whole spine radiographs to minimize radiation exposure. Originally used in orthodontics, its role in staging adolescent growth spurt and curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate growth rates across CVM stages, its cutoff for indicating peak growth (PG) versus growth cessation (GC), and its relationship with coronal curve progression.

For lumbar spinal canal stenosis, endoscopic spine surgery typically employs a unilateral approach. While this approach has the advantage of early access to the lamina, it risks damage to the facet joint on the entry side. Additionally, decompression of the ipsilateral lateral recess can be challenging, sometimes resulting in inadequate decompression laterally, leading to incomplete symptom relief.

This study aims to clarify the dynamic changes in the cervical lordotic angle (CLA) during normal swallowing using an automated motion analysis method. Physiological cervical lordosis is crucial for spinal alignment and musculoskeletal function. While previous studies have noted the relevance of cervical curvature in clinical contexts, its dynamic modulation during swallowing has not been well studied.
