Welcome to the Spinal Column, a weekly blog brought to you by Spine. As
Spine moves forward, we plan to provide opportunities for readers to
interactively discuss high-impact journal content in real-time. We believe
providing a forum for the discussion of articles will enhance the reader's
experience and help connect spine providers and researchers who have
limited opportunities for discourse outside of scientific meetings. While
expanding the website's function beyond a simple repository of articles
will benefit readers, we also plan to maintain Spine's academic standards
to ensure that only high-quality material will be disseminated. We invite
the spine biomechanics community to join in the discussion and plan to
regularly feature biomechanics articles. Please add your comments at:
http://www.spinejournal.com/
This week's discussion focuses on whiplash injury prevention. Recent
discussions include:
- treatment of Type II dens fractures in the elderly
- effects of lumbar fusion and total disc replacement on adjacent level
degeneration
- disc degeneration in scoliosis
We look forward to your future participation.
Sincerely,
Adam Pearson, MD, MS
