Of these, 176 (53%) had scoliosis: 57% open and 45% closed SB. As compared with individuals without scoliosis, those with scoliosis more frequently had open SB (p=0.03), more cranially located SB (p<0.0001), more severe neurological deficits (p≤0.02) and poorer walking ability (mean new FAC score 3.5 [SD 3.3] vs 6.1 [2.6], [p<0.0001]). In total, 69% had chronic back pain, with no difference in frequency between those with and without scoliosis. The odds of scoliosis was associated with asymmetrical motor level and a new FAC score <4 (odds ratio 0.46, p<0.006, and 0.75, p<0.0001, respectively).nnCONCLUSION: About half of adults with open and closed SB had scoliosis. Back pain was frequent in those both with and without scoliosis. Individuals with low walking ability and an asymmetrical motor level should be monitored early and continuously to limit the consequences of scoliosis during their lifetime.

Several techniques are used to decrease this rate. Many studies proved that electrical conductivity increases accuracy during pedicle screw placement but no study has interpreted conductivity values.nnMETHODS: The data are collected from patients operated for scoliosis in a single university hospital. After the posterior surgical approach is made, each pedicle is prepared classically. Instead of the classic curved pedicle probe, the surgeon uses a probe with the same shape that measures the conductivity at its tip. Conductivity values are recorded through a Bluetooth application. Each pedicle trajectory is then qualified after manual palpation with a feeler.

The average age of the population is 14.71 ± 1.86 years. 17 patients (81%) have idiopathic adolescent scoliosis. One patient has Rett syndrome, one has hypotonia, one has cerebral palsy, and one has congenital malformation. The depth of the instrument is measured semiautomatically. This technique is validated when compared with the manual technique using the Bland-Altman agreement method (mean differences = -0.279 mm, upper limit = 2.2 mm, and lower limit = -2.7 mm) and Deming regression (slope = 1.06 ± 0.004).nnCONCLUSION: This study establishes a protocol to collect electrical conductivity signals in spine surgery with synchronization to the depth of the instrument.

Stiffness of AITFL and DIOM was evaluated by SWS measurement.nnRESULTS: The SWS of AITFL and DIOM were minimal in the plantar flexion position (4.28 m/s [2.65-5.11] and 3.35 m/s [1.69-4.55], respectively). It increased significantly for both ligaments in neutral position (4.69 m/s [3.53-5.71] and 3.81 m/s [1.91-4.74], respectively; p < 0.0001), and reached their maximum values in dorsal flexion (6.58 m/s [5.23-8.34] and 4.79 m/s [3.07-6.19], respectively; p < 0.0001). There was no correlation between each ligament regardless the positions. SWS of AITFL was independent of demographic characteristics analyzed. SWS of DIOM was negatively correlated with height in dorsal flexion (ρ = -0.35; p = 0.03) and in plantar flexion (ρ = -0.37; p = 0.02). Female gender was associated with increased DIOM SWS in neutral (p = 0.005), dorsal flexion (p = 0.003), and plantar flexion (p = 0.001) positions. Moreover, foot morphology (foot arch, hind foot frontal deviation) did not impact AITFL nor DIOM SWS.

abstract = {BACKGROUND: Determining which spinal levels to instrument during surgical treatment of Lenke Type 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) depends on the reducibility of the primary and secondary curve patterns. This reducibility can be evaluated in several ways, with the most popular being radiographs in bending for moderate thoracic and lumbar curvatures. Hypothesis Side-bending radiographs will alter the choice of the lowest instrumented vertebra (LIV) for the surgical treatment of AIS.nnMETHODS: Thirteen experienced French spine surgeons were invited to perform surgical planning on 23 patients based on stereoradiographs with and without (standing) side-bending views. The surgical planning was repeated a second time to assess the intra- and inter-rater reliability. Variations in the choice of LIV were analyzed for each evaluation.nnRESULTS: The intra-rater reliability was moderate to substantial. The inter-rater reliability was low to moderate. The study compared 879 surgical plans. Selective fusion was chosen in 0.3% of the plans. The median LIV was L2. The availability of side bending views changed the plan in 39% of cases. However, 36% of the plans were changed in the control (test-retest) condition. No significant difference was found between the variations with side-bending radiographs and "control" variations (p>0.05).nnCONCLUSION: The use of radiographs in bending has no significant effect on the LIV choice in this study. This result is derived from statistically robust analysis made possible by one of the largest datasets available on this topic. Large inter-rater variability was observed and will be explored further in a future study.nnLEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II; non-randomized controlled comparative study.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a spinal cord congenital defect that leads to paraplegia, sphincter disorders and potential neurocognitive disabilities.

Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy as an adjuvant treatment for prenatal surgery showed promising results in animal experiments which could be considered for clinical use in human fetuses. Despite numerous reassuring studies on the safety of MSCs administration in humans, no study focused on MSCs biodistribution after a local MSCs graft on the fetal spinal cord.nnAIM: The purpose of our study was to assess the biodistribution of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) at birth in lambs who had a prenatal myelomeningocele repair using a fibrin patch seeded with allogenic UC-MSCs.nnMETHODS: After isolation, UC-MSCs were tagged using a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-containing lentiviral vector. MMC defects were surgically created at 75 days of gestation and repaired 15 days later using UC-MSCs patch. Lambs were delivered at 142 days and sacrificed. DNA extraction was performed among biopsies of the different organs and q-PCR analysis was used to detect the expression of GFP (GFP DNA coding sequence).nnRESULTS: In our 6 surviving lambs grafted with UC-MSCs, GFP lentivirus genomic DNA was not detected in the organs.nnCONCLUSION: These reassuring data will support translational application in humans, especially since the first human clinical trial using mesenchymal stromal cells for in-utero treatment of MMC started recently in U.S.A.},
