The influence of body posture on cervical alignment measured in the sagittal plane on conventional radiographs: a systematic review
van Santbrink E, Schuermans V, van de Goor A, de Bie R, Boselie T, van Santbrink H, et al.
Spine J . 2025 Jan; PMID: 39890026
Background Context: Cervical sagittal balance parameters are an important aid in surgical decision-making and influence outcome in cervical spine surgery. In current literature, the normative values of these parameters vary...

Effectiveness of intra-articular analgesia in reducing postoperative pain after minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion: a double-blind randomized controlled trial
Hermans S, Nellensteijn J, Knoef R, van Santbrink H, Droeghaag R, Most J, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 Sep; 14(1):22647. PMID: 39349941
During the first postoperative days following minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion (MISJF), patients often report serious pain, which contributes to high utilization of painkillers and prevention of early mobilization. This...

Accelerometer-based daily physical activity monitoring in patients with postpartum sacroiliac joint dysfunction: a case-control study
Hermans S, Most J, Schotanus M, van Santbrink H, Curfs I, van Hemert W
Int Biomech . 2024 Sep; 11(1):6-11. PMID: 39244511
Patients with low back pain caused by sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction have an impaired quality of life, due to reported pain, disability and activity limitations. There is increasing evidence that...

Posterior Cervical Foraminotomy Compared with Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion for Cervical Radiculopathy: Two-Year Results of the FACET Randomized Noninferiority Study
Simoes de Souza N, Broekema A, Reneman M, Koopmans J, van Santbrink H, Arts M, et al.
J Bone Joint Surg Am . 2024 Jul; 106(18):1653-1663. PMID: 39047120
Background: Posterior cervical foraminotomy (posterior surgery) is a valid alternative to anterior discectomy with fusion (anterior surgery) as a surgical treatment of cervical radiculopathy, but the quality of evidence has...

Transforaminal versus posterior lumbar interbody fusion for symptomatic single-level spondylolisthesis (LIFT): a multicentre controlled, patient blinded, randomised non-inferiority trial
Caelers I, Droeghaag R, de Kunder S, Most J, Rijkers K, Bartels R, et al.
Lancet Reg Health Eur . 2024 Jul; 43:100964. PMID: 39022428
Background: The effectiveness of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) compared to posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in patients with single-level spondylolisthesis has not been substantiated. To address the evidence gap,...

The Variability of Lumbar Sequential Motion Patterns: Observational Study
Caelers I, Boselie T, van Hemert W, Rijkers K, de Bie R, van Santbrink H
JMIR Biomed Eng . 2024 Jun; 8:e41906. PMID: 38875682
Background: Physiological motion of the lumbar spine is a topic of interest for musculoskeletal health care professionals since abnormal motion is believed to be related to lumbar complaints. Many researchers...

An observational study of quality of motion in the aging cervical spine: sequence of segmental contributions in dynamic fluoroscopy recordings
Schuermans V, Smeets A, Breen A, Branney J, Curfs I, van Santbrink H, et al.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord . 2024 Apr; 25(1):330. PMID: 38664811
Background: The term 'physiological motion of the spine' is commonly used although no proper definition exists. Previous work has revealed a consistent sequence of cervical segmental contributions in 80-90% of...

A randomized controlled trial with extended long-term follow-up: Quality of cervical spine motion after anterior cervical discectomy (ACD) or anterior cervical discectomy with arthroplasty (ACDA)
Schuermans V, Smeets A, Curfs I, van Santbrink H, Boselie T
Brain Spine . 2024 Mar; 4:102726. PMID: 38510600
Introduction: In previous research, a consistent sequence of segmental contributions during dynamic extension X-rays of the cervical spine was observed in 80-90% of healthy participants. Research Question: To investigate whether...
