In this work we propose to use Deep Learning to automatically calculate the coordinates of
the vertebral corners in sagittal x-rays images of the thoracolumbar spine and, from those …

Finite element modeling is a precious tool for the investigation of the biomechanics of the
musculoskeletal system. A key element for the development of anatomically accurate, state-of-…

Purpose Sacropelvic fixation is frequently used in combination with thoracolumbar instrumentation
for complex deformity correction and is commonly associated with pseudoarthrosis, …

Background context Long thoracolumbar fixation and fusion have become a consolidated
treatment for severe spinal disorders. Concomitant sacropelvic fixation with S2 alar-iliac (S2AI) …

Simplified loading conditions such as pure moments are frequently used to compare
different instrumentation techniques to treat spine disorders. The purpose of this study was to …

We developed and used a deep learning tool to process biplanar radiographs of 9832 non-surgical
patients suffering from spinal deformities, with the aim of reporting the statistical …

Purpose Sacropelvic fixation is frequently used in combination with thoracolumbar
instrumentation for the correction of severe spinal deformities. The purpose of this study was to …

Study Design: Retrospective study. Objectives: Huge amounts of images and medical reports
are being generated in radiology departments. While these datasets can potentially be …

Study Design Basic science (finite element analysis). Objectives Pedicle subtraction osteotomy
(PSO) at L5 is an effective treatment for sagittal imbalance, especially in select cases of …

Background Sacropelvic fixation is frequently combined with thoracolumbar instrumentation
for correcting spinal deformities. This study aimed to characterize sacropelvic fixation …
