A cross-sectional study. ⋯ Facet tropism was more significantly observed at levels with VRS. On the convex side of the main curve, facet joints at levels with VRS were more coronally oriented. A larger Cobb angle and severe facet tropism in degenerative scoliosis should be considered to be related to VRS.

Observational Study
Posterolateral transforaminal selective endoscopic diskectomy with thermal annuloplasty for discogenic low back pain: a prospective observational study.
A prospective observational study on 113 patients with 3 years of follow-up. ⋯ PEDTA presents a safe and effective treatment for carefully selected groups of patients with DLBP. Better clinical results occurred in patients with single-level discogenic pain.
-
Retrospective case series. ⋯ In this largest single-institution series, revision surgery after index spinal fusion in patients with adult scoliosis was required for a relatively low proportion of surgical cases (7.61%). The main indications for revision were implant breakage, deformity progression, and infection.
