Psychological Wellbeing During Recovery of Posterior Spinal Fusion for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Qualitative Study Informed by PROMIS Domains. [Journal Article]
Spine (Phila Pa 1976). 2026 Jun 02. [Online ahead of print]Catanzano AA, Virk U, … Lark RKS
CONCLUSIONS: Psychological wellbeing plays a central role in the postoperative recovery experience of adolescents with AIS. Themes identified align with PROMIS domains and highlight the importance of incorporating psychological assessment and targeted interventions into perioperative care. These findings support a biopsychosocial approach to AIS treatment, emphasizing recovery as both a physical and psychological process.

Different risk factors for early-onset adjacent segment disease at L3-4 and L5-S1 segments after isolated L4-5 lumbar fusion surgery: 2-year follow-up. [Journal Article]
J Neurosurg Spine. 2026 Jul 10; :1-8. [Online ahead of print]Kitaori T, Ota M, … Asada YJN
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest distinct characteristics between L3-4 ASD and L5-S1 ASD. L3-4 ASD was not associated with lumbosacral sagittal imbalance. By contrast, an anterior shift of the lumbar loading axis, as indicated by L1 SVA > L4 SVA, was associated with the development of L5-S1 ASD. Preoperative L1 SVA > L4 SVA might serve as a convenient predictive parameter for L5-S1 ASD after isolated L4-5 fusion surgery.

An intraoperatively guided posterior decompression with fusion-first strategy for nonambulatory patients with beak-type thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. [Journal Article]
J Neurosurg Spine. 2026 Jul 10; :1-9. [Online ahead of print]Lei J, Hu P, … Liu XJN
CONCLUSIONS: In nonambulatory patients with beak-type T-OPLL, a selective PDF-first surgical strategy resulted in favorable neurological recovery in the majority of patients. CD served as an effective adjunct when intraoperative findings indicated inadequate indirect decompression. These findings support an individualized, intraoperatively guided approach rather than the routine use of CD in this high-risk population.

Benchmarking risk prediction tools in spine surgery: a national registry analysis of albumin, frailty, and surgical calculators. [Journal Article]
J Neurosurg Spine. 2026 Jul 10; :1-15. [Online ahead of print]Farid M, Blasdel N, … Lau DJN
CONCLUSIONS: ACS SRC remains among the comprehensive tools for risk stratification in spine surgery. Serum albumin offers strong, consistent predictive value, especially for infectious, respiratory, and life-threatening complications, and may be a valuable alternative when calculator inputs are incomplete.

Agreement and reliability analysis of sarcopenia measures based on muscle function, body composition, and imaging in spinal deformity patients. [Journal Article]
J Neurosurg Spine. 2026 Jul 10; :1-8. [Online ahead of print]Semonche A, Lazar AA, … Ames CPJN
CONCLUSIONS: The authors found low agreement and reliability between 7 commonly used sarcopenia measures, except for good reliability between PMI and TPA/VBA. These sarcopenia measures are not interchangeable and may not be measuring the same underlying clinical entity. This is the first study to quantify agreement and reliability between sarcopenia measures. Future studies are needed to determine which sarcopenia measures best predict clinical outcomes in ASD patients.

Can clinical scores substitute for objective walking capacity tests? A prospective study of subjective, functional, and radiographic correlates in lumbar spinal stenosis. [Journal Article]
J Neurosurg Spine. 2026 Jul 10; :1-9. [Online ahead of print]Fu W, Xu R, … Wang LJN
CONCLUSIONS: Walking ability can be effectively assessed by the SSS-PF, ODI, BDI, and JOA scale scores. The SSS-PF scale demonstrated an excellent correlation with 6MWD and showed promise as the best patient-reported assessment tool for walking ability in LSS, particularly in clinical settings where objective testing is not feasible.

Clinical and Economic Burden of Poor Bone Health in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery: A Multicenter Cohort Study. [Journal Article]
Spine (Phila Pa 1976). 2026 Jun 26. [Online ahead of print]Passias PG, Daher M, … International Spine Study GroupS
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the clinical and economic burden of untreated poor bone quality in the setting of ASD surgery. Proactive medical management is crucial to mitigate complications, reduce revisions, and significantly lower healthcare costs in ASD surgery.

The two Distinct Functional Lordoses of the Lumbar Spine. [Journal Article]
Spine (Phila Pa 1976). 2026 Jul 03. [Online ahead of print]Gadoin D, Vergari C, … Khalifé MS
CONCLUSIONS: LL comprises two functionally distinct arcs: a pelvic-driven distal arc and a proximal arc influenced by overlying alignment and pelvic parameters. As PI increases, LL distal arc becomes preponderant. These findings advocate for a segmental approach in clinical assessment and surgical planning, emphasizing the need to consider both arcs independently.

Alterations of hip Alignment and Mobility Before and After Lumbar Fusion in Patients With Normal hip Joints. [Journal Article]
Spine (Phila Pa 1976). 2026 Jul 03. [Online ahead of print]Tokuyasu H, Tsushima E, … Takemoto MS
CONCLUSIONS: Lumbar fusion is associated with a postoperative reduction in hip-lumbar mobility despite compensatory increases in hip motion, particularly in patients undergoing long fusion. These findings highlight the importance of evaluating hip mobility before and after lumbar fusion, given its potential implications for adjacent joint loading.

Response to Preoperative Steroid Injections Can Predict Early Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Fusion for Degenerative Spondylolisthesis. [Journal Article]
Spine (Phila Pa 1976). 2026 Jun 08. [Online ahead of print]McDonald CL, Clapp I, … Spina NS
CONCLUSIONS: Most patients with DS experience symptomatic relief from injections, and postoperative outcomes improve regardless of injection response. However, a positive injection response is associated with greater improvement in disability and physical function following fusion, which may aid preoperative counseling and shared decision-making.
