Spine surgeon versus AI algorithm full-length radiographic measurements: a validation study of complex adult spinal deformity patients
Spinal measurements play an integral role in surgical planning for a variety of spine procedures. Full-length imaging eliminates distortions that can occur with stitched images. However, these images take radi...

Measurement of the number of lumbar spinal movements in the sagittal plane in a 24-hour period
Little is known about the number of spinal movements in the sagittal plane in daily life, mainly due to the lack of adequate techniques to assess these movements. Our aim was to measure these movements in asym...

Parameters influencing the outcome after total disc replacement at the lumbosacral junction. Part 2: distraction and posterior translation lead to clinical failure after a mean follow-up of 5 years
The aim of the second part of the study was to investigate the influence of parameters that lead to increased facet joint contact or capsule tensile forces (disc height, lordosis, and sagittal misalignment) on...
