    Abstract Introduction: Many risk factors for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) have been reported in the literature, especially sagittal alignment modifications, but studies on pelvic tilt (PT) variations and its influence on PJK are missing. Aim of this study was to analyze the influence of pelvic tilt correction, after long fusion surgery for ASD patients, on PJK occurrence.
    Methods: A monocentric retrospective study was conducted on prospectively collected data, including 76 patients, operated with fusion extending from the thoraco-lumbar junction to the ilium. Radiologic parameters were measured on fullspine standing radiographs preoperatively, postoperatively (<6 months) and at latest follow-up (before revision surgery or >2 years). All parameters were analyzed comparing patients with PJK (group "PJK") and without PJK (group "no PJK"). A further analysis compared patients with low (PT/PI<25th percentile, LowPT group) and high (PT/PI>75th percentile, HighPT group) preoperative pelvic tilt.
    Results: « PJK » patients had a greater lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis correction (p=0,03 et <0,001 respectively) compared to the "no PJK" patients. Pelvic tilt was significantly lower postoperatively in the "PJK" group (p=0,03). Patients from the HighPT PJK group were significantly more corrected than patients from the HighPT noPJK group (p=0,003).
    Conclusion: Through the analysis of 76 patients, we showed that pelvic tilt did not seem to play a role in the setting of PJK after ASD surgery. Decreasing PT after surgery could be an element to watch out for in patients with PJK risk factors.

    Abstract Purpose: This study objective was to evaluate sagittal correction loss after instrumentation removal in patients treated for thoracic or lumbar compression fractures treated with SpineJack
    Methods: This retrospective multicenter study was carried out in three major French trauma centers. All patients with a single type A thoracic or lumbar fracture, treated by the studied technique between 2017 and 2020, have been included. Demographic data, fracture type, removal procedure achievement and term were collected. Radiological parameters were measured at five timepoints: pre-operative, intra-operative, immediate post-operative, early post-operative (< 3 months) and at follow-up (1 year). Vertebral wedge angle (angle between the two endplates of the fractured vertebra) and traumatic regional angulation (TRA-calculated by subtracting regional kyphosis from the physiological reference values).
    Results: 150 patients were included. Mean age was 48.6 ± 17.8 years. Average follow-up was 14.4 ± 3 months. 82 patients had secondary instrumentation removal. Mean time to removal was 6.4 ± 2.4 months. TRA correction loss between immediate post-operative and last follow-up was greater in removal group: 5.1 ± 5.6° versus 2.7 ± 4.7° (p = 0.01). Material was removed earlier in younger patients (p = 0.002). TRA correction loss was similar in the early and late removal groups (p = 0.83). Multivariate analysis identified only Magerl/AO A3 fractures as risk factor for loss of TRA correction (p = 0.007).
    Conclusion: Instrumentation removal was associated with good radiological outcomes with a non-significant loss of vertebral wedge angle and tolerable loss of traumatic regional angulation (+ 2.4° compared to the no-removal group), even if performed early.

    Abstract Introduction: The surgical treatment of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (LDS) remains controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of adding transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) to posterolateral fusion (PLF) on the local lordosis, sagittal alignment and potential complications. The second aim was to evaluate the effect of slip reduction on the same parameters.
    Hypothesis: The initial hypothesis was that TLIF provides better correction of the local lordosis and that reducing the slip improves the global sagittal balance.
    Methods: In this retrospective, single-center study, patients who had been operated on for LSD at one or two levels by laminectomy and PLF, with or without a TLIF cage, were included. Data collected consisted of age, sex, number of levels fused and whether or not a TLIF cage was used. Fusion was defined as the absence of indirect nonunion signs on radiographs at 2 years postoperative. The occurrence and time frame of any complications and the need for reoperation were documented. Lateral radiographs of the entire spine were analyzed preoperatively, in the early postoperative period (3 to 6 months) and at a minimum follow-up of 2 years. The following parameters were measured: pelvic parameters, C7 sagittal tilt (C7ST), spinosacral angle (SSA), maximum lumbar lordosis (LL), lordosis at slipped level (LS), slip percentage. The analysis compared patients treated by PLF and TLIF and determined the impact of slip reduction.
    Results: One hundred and three patients were included in the study (71% women). The mean follow-up was 38 months. The mean age was 69 years. Seventy-seven patients (75%) underwent PLF. Comparing the preoperative and early postoperative data identified 5.4% better spondylolisthesis reduction in the TLIF group than the PLF group (-8.9±9.5% vs -3.5±7.6%; p=0.04) that was not maintained at the final follow-up. The fusion rate was comparable between groups: 94% in APL and 89% in TLIF (p=0.7). The overall complication rate was 46% in the TLIF group versus 33% in the PLF group (p=0.35). A comparison based on whether or not the slip was reduced found significant improvement in the reduction group of the SSA by more than 6° (6.8°±6° vs 0.5°±7.4°; p=0.04). The fusion rate was 91% in the reduced group and 95% in the non-reduced group (p=0.81); the complication rate was 44% versus 28% in the non-reduced group (p=0.10).
    Conclusion: This study shows that slip reduction helps to improve the sagittal alignment by increasing the SSA when treating LDS. Posterolateral fusion and TLIF produce comparable radiographic outcomes at 2 years postoperative in the segmental lordosis, slip reduction, global sagittal alignment and fusion rate.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare two percutaneous pedicle fixations for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures: one associating a jack kyphoplasty (SpineCut) and the other using intermediate screws (Trident).
    Methods: All adult patients treated for single-level Magerl/AO type A thoracolumbar traumatic fractures in four orthopaedic departments, with SpineCut or Trident, with a one year minimum follow-up, were retrospectively included. Neurological disorders and osteoporotic fractures were not included. The following data were collected: age, sex, Magerl/AO type, type of surgery, and complications. Radiological parameters were analyzed on pre-operative CT scan, and on standing X-rays before discharge, at three months and one year post-operative: vertebral wedge angle (VWA), regional kyphosis angle (RKA), and traumatic regional angulation (TRA: difference between RKA and physiological values for each vertebra).
    Results: Eighty patients were included, with 42 patients in SpineCut group and 38 in Trident group. Mean age was 41 ± 15.7 years. TRA correction did not differ between the groups: respectively 11.2 ± 8.1° in SpineCut versus 10.2 ± 9.1° in Trident group (p = 0.52). TRA loss of correction between early post-operative and three months was statistically higher in Trident group: -4 ± 5.1° versus -1.5 ± 3.8° (p = 0.03). After 3 months, TRA correction loss was comparable between the groups. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that pre-operative VWA was the only factor significantly associated with early TRA correction loss (p = 0.01). VWA correction and loss of correction did not differ significantly between the groups. No complications were observed.
    Conclusion: Percutaneous pedicle fixations of traumatic thoracolumbar fractures associating jack kyphoplasty and intermediate screws are both safe and efficient techniques.

    Abstract Scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity that can occur at any age. It may be idiopathic or secondary in children, idiopathic and degenerative in adults. Management of patients with scoliosis is multidisciplinary, involving rheumatologists, radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, and prosthetists. Imaging plays a central role in diagnosis, including the search for secondary causes, follow-up, and preoperative work-up if surgery is required. Evaluating scoliosis involves obtaining frontal and lateral full-spine radiographs in the standing position, with analysis of coronal and sagittal alignment. For adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, imaging follow-up is often required, accomplished using low-dose stereoradiography such as EOS imaging. For adult degenerative scoliosis, the crucial characteristic is rotatory subluxation, also well detected on radiographs. Magnetic resonance imaging is usually more informative than computed tomography for visualizing associated canal and foraminal stenoses. Radiologists must also have a thorough understanding of postoperative features and complications of scoliosis surgery because aspects can be misleading.

    Abstract Purpose: Idiopathic scoliosis is an evolutive deformity during patient's life. In case of moderate deformity in a well aligned adolescent, it's a big concern to decide when to do the surgery. Objective of this work was to evaluate and compare clinical, radiological and surgical data of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis operated in childhood (before 20 years) and those operated adults (after 35 years).
    Methods: In this retrospective multicenter study, inclusion period extended from 2008 to 2018. Two groups were defined, those operated on before the age of 20 (YAIS), and those operated on after 35 years (OAIS). Demographic, radiographic and surgical data were collected. At follow-up, radiographic data and functional outcomes (VAS, SRS, SF12, Oswestry) were analyzed. Minimum FU was 5 years for young and 2 years for old patients.
    Results: YAIS group included 364 patients, and OAIS group, 131 patients. In both groups, deformity was important (mean Cobb 63°). Vertebral osteotomies were significantly more frequent, fusions and length of stays were longer for old than young patients. Main Cobb correction was better in young than old (37 ± 10° vs 2 ± 13°, p = 0.03). Functional outcomes were better for young, operated patients than for operated groups after 35 years (SF12 PCS 50 ± 7 vs 39 ± 6, p = 0.02). The same trends were observed at longer follow-up.
    Conclusion: Surgery for idiopathic scoliosis seems to offer a better quality of life and deformity correction when it is performed at adolescence. After 35 years, surgery remains an acceptable therapeutic option, despite higher complication rate.

    Abstract Purpose: Intraoperative fluoroscopy use is essential during spinal fusion procedures. The amount of radiation dose should always be minimized. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of halving the frame rate from 12.5 to 6.25 frames per second (fps) and to quantify the reduction in the risk of developing radiation-induced cancer.
    Methods: This pilot study included 34 consecutive patients operated for open lumbar posterolateral fusion (PLF) with or without transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). C-arm modes were changed from half-dose (12.5 frames per second (fps), group I) to quarter-dose (6.25 fps, group II). Age, body mass index, surgical procedure, number of treated levels, and complications were collected. Kerma area product (KAP), cumulative air kerma (CAK), and fluoroscopy time were compared. Effective dose and radiation-induced cancer risk were estimated.
    Results: Eighteen and 16 patients were, respectively, included in group I and II. Demographic, surgical data, and fluoroscopy time were similar in both groups. However, CAK, KAP, and effective dose were significantly lower in group II, respectively, 0.56 versus 0.41 mGy (p = 0.03), 0.09 versus 0.06 Gy cm
    Conclusion: This study demonstrates the feasibility of setting 6.25 fps for TLIF with and without PLF. By halving the fps, radiation-induced cancer risk could be almost divided by two, without compromising surgical outcome. Finally, after optimization, the risk of developing radiation-induced cancer was less than one in a million.

    Abstract Study design: Multicentric retrospective.
    Objective: The study of center of mass (COM) locations (i.e. barycentremetry) can help us understand postural alignment. This study goal was to determine relationships between COM locations and global postural alignment X-ray parameters in healthy subjects. The second objective was to determine the impact on spinopelvic alignment of increased distance between anterior body envelope and spine at lumbar apex level.
    Summary of background data: Unexplored relationship between COM location and spinopelvic parameters.
    Methods: This study included healthy volunteers with full-body biplanar radiograph including body envelope reconstruction, allowing the estimation of COM location. The following parameters were analyzed: lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic kyphosis (TK), cervical lordosis (CL), pelvic tilt (PT), Sacro-femoral angle (SFA), Knee flexion angle (KFA), sagittal odontoid-hip axis angle (ODHA). The following COM in the sagittal plane were located: whole body, at thoracolumbar inflexion point, and body segment above TK apex. The body envelope reconstruction also provided the distance between anterior skin and the LL apex vertebral body center ("SV-L distance").
    Results: This study included 124 volunteers, with a mean age of 44±19.3. Multivariate analysis confirmed posterior translation of COM above TK apex with increasing LL (P=0.002) through its proximal component, and posterior shift of COM at inflexion point with increasing TK (P=0.008). Increased SV-L distance was associated with greater ODHA (r=0.4) and more anterior body COM (r=0.8), caused by increased TK (r=0.2) and decreased proximal and distal LL (both r=0.3), resulting in an augmentation in SFA (r=0.3) (all P<0.01).
    Conclusions: Barycentremetry showed that greater LL was associated with posterior shift of COM above thoracic apex while greater TK was correlated with more posterior COM at inflexion point. Whole-body COM was strongly correlated with ODHA. This study also exhibited significant alignment disruption associated with increased abdominal volume, with compensatory hip extension.

    Abstract Background: The goal of this study was to better understand the variation of femoral neck version according to spinopelvic and lower limb 3D alignment using biplanar X-rays in standing position.
    Methods: This multicentric study retrospectively included healthy subjects from previous studies who had free-standing position biplanar radiographs. Subjects were excluded if they presented spinal or any musculo-skeletal deformity, and reported pain in the spine, hip or knee. Age, sex, and the following 3D-reconstructed parameters were collected: spinal curvatures, pelvic parameters, sagittal vertical axis (SVA), T1 pelvic angle (TPA), spino-sacral angle (SSA), femoral torsion angle (FTA), sacro-femoral angle (SFA), knee flexion angle (KA), ankle angle (AA), pelvic shift (PS) and ankle distance. Femoral neck version angle (FVA) was calculated between horizontal plane projection of the bi-coxo-femoral axis and the line passing through the femoral neck barycenter and femoral head center. Analysis according to age subsets was performed.
    Results: A total of 400 subjects were included (219 females); mean age was 29 ± 18 years (range: 4-83). Subjects with high pelvic tilt values presented significantly higher FVA than average and low-PT individuals, respectively, 7.8 ± 7.1°, 2 ± 9° and 2.1 ± 9.5° (p < 0.001). These subjects also presented lower lumbar lordosis values and higher acetabulum anteversion in the horizontal plane than the two other groups. SVA correlation with FVA was weaker (r = 0.1, p = 0.03) than SSA and TPA (r = - 0.3 and r = 0.3, respectively, p < 0.001). A strong correlation was found with femoral torsion (r = 0.5, p < 0.001). SFA (r = - 0.3, p < 0.001), pelvic shift (r = 0.2, p < 0.001) and ankle distance (r = 0.3, p < 0.001) were also significantly correlated. Multivariate analysis confirmed significant association of age, pelvic tilt, lumbar lordosis, pelvic shift, ankle distance and femoral torsion with FVA.
    Conclusion: Patients with lower lumbar lordosis present pelvic retroversion which induces a higher femoral neck version. This finding may help positioning implants in total hip replacement procedures. Higher pelvic shift, age, male gender and increased femoral torsion were also correlated with higher FVA.
    Level of evidence: II (Diagnostic: individual cross-sectional studies with consistently applied reference standard and blinding).

    Abstract Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine the use of social media (SM) among the French spine surgeons.
    Methods: In 2022, an online questionnaire has been sent to the community of French spine surgeons. All surgeons were asked to answer a 21-question survey about their use of SM in their daily practice.
    Results: Eighty-five surgeons were included, with 80% claiming to use SM. Mean age was 45 ± 10.7. Usage rate significantly differed among experience categories: 85% of younger surgeons and 69% after ten years of experience (p = 0.01). LinkedIn was the most commonly used (78% among SM users), then Facebook (46%). Instagram was less used by most experienced surgeons (p = 0.01). Time spent on SM was more important at home (p < 0.01). About 31% of participants' patients were able to contact their surgeon through SM, mainly through LinkedIn, professional websites and Facebook (respectively 15%, 13% and 12%). Pictural data were shared on SM by 29% of SM users, mainly on LinkedIn (19%), then professional websites (12%). Google reviews were significantly less valued by most experienced surgeons (p = 0.01) but more valued by private practice surgeons (p = 0.009).
    Conclusion: 80% of French spine surgeons use social media for professional purposes. However, SM may not be used to its full potential as only 25% of SM-using broadcast pictures and contact their patients through SM. The most popular network is LinkedIn, followed by Facebook. Most experienced surgeons use less SM, particularly Instagram, and value less Google reviews.
