KEY FINDING: The predictive algorithm demonstrated excellent accuracy at 82.4% in determining treatment recommendations for thoracolumbar burst fractures.

KEY FINDING: Lack of patient information, prioritization of other conditions, and self-management hinder diagnosis. Healthcare professionals struggle to identify vertebral fractures in lower-risk groups, mistaking them for other conditions.

KEY FINDING: Most studies lacked explicit definitions for either 'spasm' or 'cramp', and when descriptions were present, the clinical resemblance between the two was significant.

KEY FINDING: Using a long, thick pedicle screw placed in the fractured vertebra can better preserve the PBH at the final follow-up.

KEY FINDING: Young male rats showed reduced trabecular bone volume at both the sublesional tibia and supralesional humerus following SCI.

KEY FINDING: Nanovibration intervention did not reverse SCI-induced osteoporosis in rats.

KEY FINDING: In younger adults with SCI, vitamin D supplementation led to significant improvements in testosterone, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.

KEY FINDING: LIV stimulates bone formation and improves osteoblast differentiation potential of bone marrow stromal stem cells.

KEY FINDING: The SCI group showed statistically significant differences in range of movement compared to the control group (P = 0.020).

KEY FINDING: The prevalence of SCI-related osteoporosis among the participants was 43.8%.
