DOI: 10.1007/s00521-018-3614-y
Abstract: Idiopathic scoliosis treatment depends on the accurate assessment of the Cobb angle, which is usually performed manually. Manual measurements, however, can lead to observer variations, which depend on the correct selection of the curvature superior… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00586-019-05948-9
Abstract: AbstractPurposeBracing is the most commonly used treatment for scoliosis. But braces remain predominantly “handcrafted.” Our objective was to create a novel brace simulator using a high-fidelity 3D “avatar” of the patient’s trunk.MethodsAn observational cross-sectional study… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00586-024-08260-3
Abstract: Cervical posterior instrumentation and fusion is often performed to avoid post-laminectomy kyphosis. However, larger comparative analyses of cervical laminectomy with or without fusion are sparse. A retrospective, two-center, comparative cohort study included patients after stand-alone… read more here.
