TL;DR: The EOS™ X-ray machine, based on a Nobel prize-winning invention in physics in the field of particle detection, is capable of a simultaneous capture of biplanar X-rays by slot scanning of the whole body in an upright, physiological load-bearing position, using ultra-low radiation doses.

TL;DR: Using a specialized orthopedic software package, the authors investigated the sagittal spinal shape and the position of the pelvis in the space in patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis and in persons with no such symptoms.

TL;DR: It is shown that in the course of scoliosis correction, it is possible to preserve the normal preoperative sagittal profile of the spine, to correct the slightly flattened thoracic kyphosis, and to preserve or restore normal lumbar lordosis in a considerable percentage of the cases.

TL;DR: In severe and rigid curves that develop following treatment of paediatric spinal tumours, preoperative application of a distraction plaster cast can reduce deformity and facilitate surgical correction and in the case of pure bony compression of the spinal cord due to the apical vertebra, treatment with the distraction plaster can result in recovery from the neurological impairment.

TL;DR: Spinopelvic parameters on digitised radiographs of the entire spine and the pelvis of 50 patients with lumbar disc herniation and compared these with the same measurements on 30 healthy subjects showed a higher gravitational compressive force which may, in turn, lead to progressive degeneration of the discs.
