How Accurate are Anatomical Surface Topography Parameters in Indicating the Presence of a Scoliosis?
Retrospective analysis of a longitudinal cohort. ⋯ The use of fixed anatomical points around the torso, analyzed using logistic regression, has a high accuracy for identifying curves in the thoracic, thoracolumbar/lumbar, and whole spines. While coming from surface topography images, the results raise the future use of digital photography as a tool for the identification of small scoliosis without using other imaging techniques.
-
Retrospective review of a single institution cohort. ⋯ ADI and SVI quartile assignment were predictors of MCID achievement. While ADI and SVI may both identify patients at risk for adverse outcomes following lumbar fusion, SVI offers greater granularity in terms of isolating themes of disadvantage impacting MCID achievement.
-
A retrospective case-control study. ⋯ Both CMCT and PCT are often prolonged in compressive lesions of the epiconus and conus medullaris, and MEP latency and CMCT are useful in the diagnosis.

Modified Delphi consensus study. ⋯ V-Expert opinion.
