ABSTRACT Objective: Measure the diameter and thickness of the C6 and C7 pedicles using computed tomography, to analyze the security of the act surgery and the difference between males and females. Methods: This is a retrospective study. Two hundred computerized tomography scans of the cervical spine, one hundred male and one hundred female, from the Hospital Santa Teresa Radiology sector were evaluated. The pedicle thickness was measured in the axial plane, and the height was measured in sagittal slices. The student’s t-test was used to compare differences between the sexes, and a p-value lower than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean age of the individuals included in the sample was 35±9 years. The mean height of the C6 and C7 pedicles were 7.1±0.9 mm and 7.8±0.9 mm, respectively. The mean thickness of the C6 and C7 pedicles were 5.2±0.7 mm and 5.9±0.8 mm, respectively. The statistical test showed that the values were significantly lower for female patients. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated parameters that can be used and can be the rule for preoperative planning of transpedicular cervical fixation surgeries, both in C6 and C7. As it is a procedure that can cause iatrogenic damage to important structures, the screw size must be chosen with care in pre-operative planning to avoid vessel rupture or damage to adjacent nerves. Level of Evidence III; retrospective study.

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare quality of life in patients with longer fusions with that of those who have short fusions 2 years of after surgery. Methods: This is a retrospective comparative cohort study (Level of Evidence III) involving patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who underwent posterior spinal fusion with pedicle screws with a 2-year follow-up. The primary outcome was quality of life assessed using the SRS-30 questionnaire. Participants were divided according to Lenke and stratified into those with major (Lenke 3 and Lenke 6) and minor (Lenke 1 and Lenke 5) fusions. Results: Forty-one patients, 34 of whom were women, were evaluated: Lenke 1 (17 patients), Lenke 3 (15 patients), Lenke 5 (3 patients), and Lenke 6 (6 patients). The mean age was 13.8 years, the mean preoperative and postoperative Cobb angles were 56.48 degrees and 10.49 degrees, respectively, and the mean surgical Cobb reduction was 45.54 degrees. All patients in the sample showed an overall improvement in quality of life after surgery (p<0.0001). There was no difference between groups A (long fusions) and B (short fusions) in relation to the domains in general (p>0.05). Although pain was improved in the overall sample, this was not the case for the group with structured double curves and longer fusions (p = 0.03). Conclusion: There was no difference in quality of life between patients with long and short fusions with a 2-year follow-up. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective cohort.

ABSTRACT Traumatic atlanto-axial subluxation is a rare and underdiagnosed condition due to its high rate – reported to be between 60 and 80% – of early mortality. Its diagnosis takes into account the trauma mechanism, precise analyses of the imaging tests and the clinical presentation of the patient. This article describes a rare presentation of atlanto-axial subluxation associated with craniocervical dislocation as a case of locked-in syndrome. Level of evidence V; Retrospective observational study – Case report.

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the hypoalgesic effect of exercises in obese patients with low back pain. Methods: From the methodological point of view, this is a systematic review study supported by the PRISMA guidelines (2020). Only clinical trials with defined eligibility criteria were included and the methodological evaluation was carried out using the Risk of Bias 2.0 (RoB 2.0) tool. Results: Four clinical trials were found, which underwent an assessment of risk of bias and were mostly categorized as moderate risk of bias or with some concerns. Conclusions: Moderate-intensity interval training (MIIT), high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and total resistance or lumbar spine extension exercises were shown to be effective for pain control, quality of life, and functional performance in obese individuals. On the other hand, the exercises alone did not produce a decrease in body composition. Level of evidence I; Systematic review.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Upper lumbar disc herniations (ULDH) are considered infrequent injuries (1-11%). They present, most often in older adults, with special clinical features that make diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making difficult. The prevalence, location, and management of these herniations and the medical history of our patients were analyzed. Methods: Sex, age, injury level, previous surgery, and patient treatment data from July 2018 to May 2021 were collected retrospectively. During this period, 179 patients underwent surgery, 33 of whom patients presented ULDH. Results: Thirty-three patients were included in the study (18 male and 15 female). Ages ranged from 39 to 85 years, with a predominance of elderly patients. The levels operated were L1-L2 in seven patients, L2-L3 in ten patients, L3-L4 in fourteen patients, and surgery in two levels (L2-L3, L3-L4) in two patients. In our practice, microdiscectomy is the preferred approach and was performed in all cases, with the addition of fusion in four of the 33 patients. Finally, a history of low lumbar disc herniation (LLDH) surgery was found in 16 patients. Conclusions: In our population, ULDHs are a rare entity with lower prevalence at the higher lumbar levels. They occur more frequently in elderly patients and clinical presentation can vary, which is a challenge for surgeons. In older adults, the development of lumbar kyphosis due to vertebral wedging is considered a risk factor for the development of ULDH. Surgical management by microdiscectomy is considered a technique with good results for this pathology. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective, longitudinal, descriptive, observational study.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the prevalence of low back and neck pain in Physical Education (PE) students at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) and the associated behavioral and postural factors. Methods: The study design is observational with descriptive analytics. Healthy PE students of both sexes participated in the study and answered the Back Pain and Body Postural Evaluation Instrument for Adults. Data were analyzed using SPSS software (21.0) using descriptive statistics, calculating the prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals. The significance level adopted was 0.05. Results: Ninety-two PE students answered the questionnaire, 45 of whom were females (48.9%) and 47 of whom were males (51.1%). The prevalence of low back pain was 76.1% and of neck pain was 58.7%. There was no association with most of the behavioral and postural factors assessed. Conclusions: The prevalence of low back and neck pain in PE students at UFRGS is high and this pain is not associated with the factors investigated. Level of Evidence II: Prospective study of less quality.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Degenerative intervertebral disc disease and its impact on quality of life when associated with sagittal misalignmentis a current topic in the literature. The technique known as OLIF derives from the need to use anterior cage stop romote stabilization of the affected segment, indirect decompression, restoration of segmental lordosis, and sagittal balance. Methods: Single-center, non-randomized, comparative, observational study. The following variables were measured using magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine in dorsal and lateral decubitus, establishing a comparison between the size of the OLIF corridor in the L3L4 and L4L5 segments, as well as a comparison of corridor size between the different positions. Results: There was no difference incorridor size in the comparison between decubitus. However, when the L3L4 and L4L5 levels were compared, there was a significant difference in the size of the corridor in both the lateral and dorsal positions. Conclusion: The present study did not show any difference between the size of the OLIF corridor in L3L4 and L4L5 in the different decubitus, suggesting that thee valuation of the corridor in convention al magnetic resonance images appearstobe safe andreflects the actual size when positio ned for performing the OLIF technique.

ABSTRACT Low back pain is one of the most prevalent orthopedic conditions, affecting around 70% to 80% of the world’s population at least once during their life times. Surface electromyography is an important tool for assessing the muscle function of the lumbar stabilizers. One of the best treatment options for patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) is physical exercise, particular lyaerobic exercise and Pilates, as these can reduce short-term pain and disability, and improve balance. This review aims to identify the state of art regarding the benefits of pilates on the population with CLBP, evaluating changes in the muscular activation of the muscles of the lumbar region. Searches were conducted on the following databases: PubMed (Medline), Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, Ebsco and Scielo; including gray literature: Google Scholar, Grey Literature, Pro Quest Dissertations & Theses. The inclusion criteria were adults with low back pain for three months or more, with or without referred pain in the lower limbs; studies that used electromyographic variables; studies with a pain assessment measure at two different times; studies with physical exercise performed only using the Pilates method. Applying these criteria, the searches retrieved 439 abstracts. Of these, 44 articles were evaluated for eligibility, and three fulfilled the qualitative and quantitative synthesis criteria. The average methodological quality score on the Downs and Black checklist was 15 out of 28. It was therefore concluded that Pilates is an excellent option for the treatment of non-specific low back pain, promoting health and helping prevent low back pain among asymptomatic individuals. Level of evidence II; Systematic Review of Level II or Level I Studies with Discrepant Results.
腰痛是最常见的骨科疾病之一，影响了世界上70%至80%的人口在其一生中至少一次。表面肌电图是评估腰椎稳定器肌肉功能的重要工具。慢性腰痛(CLBP)患者的最佳治疗选择之一是体育锻炼，特别是有氧运动和普拉提，因为这些可以减少短期疼痛和残疾，并改善平衡。本综述旨在确定普拉提对CLBP患者的益处，评估腰区肌肉激活的变化。检索数据库包括PubMed (Medline)、Science Direct、Scopus、Web of Science、Cochrane、Ebsco和Scielo;包括灰色文献:谷歌Scholar，灰色文献，Pro Quest dissertation & dissertation。纳入标准为腰痛持续3个月或以上的成年人，伴或不伴下肢牵涉性疼痛;使用肌电图变量的研究;在两个不同时间进行疼痛评估的研究;只使用普拉提方法进行体育锻炼的研究。应用这些标准，搜索得到了439篇摘要。其中44篇文章进行了合格性评价，3篇符合定性和定量综合标准。在Downs和Black检查表上的平均方法质量得分为15分(满分28分)。因此得出结论，普拉提是治疗非特异性腰痛的一个很好的选择，促进健康，并有助于预防无症状个体的腰痛。证据等级II;对结果不一致的二级或一级研究进行系统评价。

ABSTRACT Objective: Analyze the clinical and radiological aspects of the S2AI screw technique in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis undergoing deformity correction surgery by intraoperative navigation. Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records of patients undergoing neuromuscular scoliosis correction surgery with the S2-alar-iliac technique between 2017-2020. Results: In the total sample of 35 patients, 18 (51.4%) were female, with an average age of 14.9. The average preoperative coronal curve was 100° ± 26.2, with an average correction of 55% ± 16.3, with an average coronal curve of 44.8°± 19.5 at the end of surgery and 45 ° ± 19.6 at the end of follow-up. The average preoperative pelvic obliquity was 27.9°± 10.9, with a correction rate of 66.1% ± 27.6, being 8.2° ± 5.4 at the end of surgery and 9 .4°± 7.0 at the end of the follow-up. The average of operated levels was 17.3± 0.7. All 70 S2 screws had a diameter of 7mm. The average duration of surgeries was 416 ± 86 minutes, with estimated intraoperative bleeding of 921 ± 394.1 ml. The average density of screws in the sample was 1.3 ± 0.2 screws per level, and the average density in the lumbosacral spine was 1.5 ± 0.2. Conclusions: Intraoperative navigation can contribute to the rate of complications related to the S2AI screw decrease; in addition, the length of this screw appears to have significant relevance in maintaining the correction throughout the follow-up. Level of evidence IV; Case series.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Dermal sinus (DS) is a rare dysraphism. It can be asymptomatic, become infected, and produce severe neurological symptoms. Our objective is to present a series of pediatric cases with spinal DS complicated byinfections (DSCI), describe the findings correlated with the anatomy in a stillbirth, as well as the associated pathologies and their treatment. Method: We analyzeddifferent variables in the clinical histories of 5 children with spinal DSCI. In addition, an anatomical dissection of a stillbirth with lumbar DS was performed. Results: Two males and 3 femaleswith DSCI and a mean age of 2 years and 9 months were included: 2 lumbar (one in the midline and the other in theparamedian region), 1 in the thoracic region, 1 in the upper cervical region,and 1 in the lumbosacral region. The forms of presentation were 3 meningeal profiles (one with pain andlocalized swelling) and 3 neurological deficits (one associated with the meningeal profile and another associated with pain and a tumor). In all cases, the tract of the DS was identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Associated lesions included 1 dorsal intramedullary dermoid cyst, 1 tethered lumbar spinal cord with syringomyelia, 1 partial cervical medullary disconnection, and 2 spinal dysraphisms. Four were operated on and one died of infectious complications before surgery. In the 12-week-old male fetus with lumbar DS, a permeable tract to the subarachnoid space was verified. Conclusions: DSCIsshould bestudied with MRI to identify their tracts, infectious complications of thecentral nervous system, associated malformations, inclusion tumors, and to enabledifferential diagnosis. Once diagnosed, they should be urgently treated both surgically and with prolonged antibiotictherapy. Level of Evidence IV; Therapeutic Study (Treatment Outcome Investigation)
