A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed/EMBASE/MEDLINE databases. Inclusion criteria included publications between January 2011 and December 2022 on CM diagnosis classification, natural history, and conservative management. ⋯ Further higher-quality studies are recommended to establish more substantial evidence and recommendations.

Cross-sectional study. ⋯ The positions evaluated may be interchangeable for coronal plane lateral deviation measurements of females with AIS.

Retrospective case-control study. ⋯ We identified large L5-S1 lordosis as an independent risk factor for recurrence of pediatric lumbar spondylolysis at L5 following conservative treatment. Intensive athletic rehabilitation to prevent recurrence and follow-up measures to monitor and detect recurrence are recommended for patients with large L5-S1 lordosis.

retrospective cohort study. ⋯ GLP-1 RA use in spinal fusion patients was associated with improved post-operative outcomes, including lower infection rates, fewer revisions, and better quality of life metrics. These findings suggest that GLP-1 RAs may be a valuable adjunctive therapy in managing surgical outcomes in diabetic and obese patients undergoing spinal fusion. Further prospective and animal-based studies are needed to confirm these findings and explore the underlying mechanisms.
