Las diferencias antropométricas entre sexos de la columna lumbar, medidas por dxa, no afectan a todas las vértebras en forma uniforme: probable implicancia en la incidencia de fracturas
Gender anthropometric differences of the lumbar spine, measured by dxa, do not involve all vertebrae uniformly: probable implication in the incidence of fractures

Actual. osteol; 14 (3), 2018
Las fracturas vertebrales osteoporóticas son más frecuentes en la mujer. El segmento toracolumbar es el preferentemente comprometido, en especial las vértebras D11 a L2, mientras que L4 contribuye en una proporción mínima a este evento. El objetivo del presente estudio fue investigar si el menor tam...

Comparison of short-segment monoaxial and polyaxial pedicle screw fixation combined with intermediate screws in traumatic thoracolumbar fractures: a finite element study and clinical radiographic review

Clinics; 72 (10), 2017
OBJECTIVES: No studies have compared monoaxial and polyaxial pedicle screws with regard to the von Mises stress of the instrumentation, intradiscal pressures of the adjacent segment and adjacent segment degeneration. METHODS: Short-segment monoaxial/polyaxial pedicle screw fixation techniques were compa...

Asymptomatic vertebral fractures in patients with low bone mineral density

Summary Objective: Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) is a test technique that can be used to detect asymptomatic vertebral fractures (AVF). It uses dual energy X-ray bsorptiometry (DXA) and can be performed concurrently with bone densitometry. This study aims to assess the prevalence of AVF in patient...
