Studies have shown that cervical bone quality is closely linked to loss of cervical lordosis (LCL) after open-door laminoplasty. Additionally, research on lumbar VBQ indicates a strong correlation between lumbar VBQ scores and lumbar paraspinal muscle quality. However, the relationship of C-VBQ score to cervical paraspinal muscles and LCL remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between C-VBQ score and cervical paraspinal muscle-related parameters as well as postoperative LCL, in addition to exploring the risk factors associated with LCL.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A total of 101 patients who underwent standard C3-C7 open-door laminoplasty at our institution from 2012 to 2022 were included in this study. The LCL group was defined as loss of cervical lordosis > 5° at 1-year postoperative follow-up. Cervical X-rays were obtained to measure the C2-7 Cobb angle, C2-7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA), T1 slope, and cervical range of motion (ROM). The relative cross-sectional area (RCSA) and degree of fat infiltration (DFF) of the deep cervical extensors, flexors, and all muscles were measured using image J software. Cervical CT Hounsfield unit (HU) and C-VBQ values were measured on preoperative CT and MRI T1-weighted mid-sagittal images, respectively. Then, demographics, cervical sagittal parameters, ROM, paraspinal muscle-related parameters, CT-HU and C-VBQ values were assessed for their correlation with LCL, and multivariate linear analysis was used to determine the risk factors associated with LCL. Finally, the relationship between C-VBQ scores and cervical paraspinal muscle-related parameters was evaluated.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 55 (54.45%) patients were included in the LCL group due to loss of cervical lordosis > 5° at 1-year follow-up. LCL was positively correlated to the preoperative T1 slope, Flexion ROM, C2-7 ROM, Flexion/Extension ROM, Flexion muscles DFF, Extension muscles DFF, Average DFF, and C-VBQ scores, while it was negatively correlated to Extension ROM, Extension muscles RCSA, Total RCSA, and CT-HU values. Furthermore, Flexion/Extension ROM, Total RCSA, Average DFF, CT-HU, and C-VBQ values were independent risk factors for LCL. In addition, C-VBQ scores were significantly correlated with RCSA and DFF of Flexion and Extension muscles.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study is the first to find a significant correlation between C-VBQ scores and cervical paraspinal muscle quality. The C-VBQ score is a comprehensive indicator that reflects the quality of the cervical bone and paravertebral muscles, and it is a novel predictor of LCL after open-door laminoplasty.</p>","PeriodicalId":19566,"journal":{"name":"Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143657892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MRI indicated no re-tears or fatty infiltration in the 30 patients, and compared to the control group, there were no statistically significant differences in the vertical diameter of the subscapularis muscle (62.89 mm ± 9.30 mm vs. 59.41 mm ± 7.55 mm; p = 0.153), transverse diameter of the upper subscapularis muscle (17.82 mm ± 3.79 mm vs. 19.43 mm ± 4.76 mm; p = 0.395), transverse diameter of the lower subscapularis muscle (24.09 mm ± 5.84 mm vs. 25.23 mm ± 5.41 mm; p = 0.870), cross-sectional area of the subscapularis muscle (1338.54 mm<sup>2</sup> ± 277.26 mm<sup>2</sup> vs. 1247.94 mm<sup>2</sup> ± 210.55 mm<sup>2</sup>; p = 0.098), signal-to-signal ratio of the upper subscapularis muscle (1.18 ± 0.28 vs. 1.24 ± 0.28; p = 0.792), or the signal-to-signal ratio of the lower subscapularis muscle (1.02 ± 0.24 vs. 1.03 ± 0.16; p = 0.128).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The arthroscopic H-Loop technique significantly restores function, improves range of motion, and enhances internal rotation strength, maintaining good tendon integrity in the early postoperative period.</p>","PeriodicalId":19566,"journal":{"name":"Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143625595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extensive studies have been conducted to understand the contribution of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to skeletal metabolic homeostasis and resistance to aseptic inflammation, specifically from the viewpoint of skeletal neurobiology. There have been plenty of studies on how the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), the two main branches of the ANS, regulate bone remodeling, which is the process of bone formation and resorption. The following studies have revealed critical neurological pathways that induce significant alterations in bone cell biology and uncover the intricate linkages between the ANS and the skeletal system. Furthermore, inspired by the connection between the ANS and bone remodeling, neuromodulation has been utilized as a therapeutic method for patients with orthopedic diseases: by directly influencing the ANS, it is possible to alter the excitability of nerve fibers and the release of neurotransmitters, which can lead to anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, thereby directly or indirectly impacting bone formation and bone resorption. Our work aims to review the most recent findings on the impact of the ANS on bone remodeling, enhance the current understanding of the interaction between nerves and bones, and explore potential neuromodulation methods that could be used to treat orthopedic conditions, thereby drawing attention to the significant role of the ANS in the skeletal system.</p>","PeriodicalId":19566,"journal":{"name":"Orthopaedic Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143605475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
