Description
Peng Yuan and co-authors ask how much a bent spine segment should be straightened in a 2025 study of a common back procedure. The procedure injects cement into a crushed vertebra to ease pain from bone thinning fractures.
Records of 204 patients were split into four groups by the curve angle left after surgery. All groups started alike. Patients left with the smallest angles saw their pain and disability scores fall the most, and the group straightened to between zero and five degrees did best of all. That group had essentially recovered full function one month after the operation. The authors conclude that aiming for a nearly straight segment speeds and improves recovery.
