Report of the 1985 ISSLS Traveling Fellowship. Mechanisms of spinal pain. The dorsal root ganglion and its role as a mediator of low-back pain.
TL;DR: In this paper, the dorsal root ganglion was used as a mediator for low-back pain in an animal model and the results suggest a significant reduction in substance P, one of several neurotransmitters located in the root.

1990 Volvo Award in Clinical Sciences: The Consistency and Accuracy of Roentgenograms for Measuring Sagittal Translation in the Lumbar Vertebral Motion Segment
TL;DR: Evidence is presented suggesting that high consistency and accuracy indices do not ensure acceptable false-positive and false-negative rates and, thus, provide empirical evidence supporting the view that using roentgenograms as a basis for diagnosing instability often can lead to errors in classification.

Risk for adjacent segment and same segment reoperation after surgery for lumbar stenosis: a subgroup analysis of the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT).

TL;DR: Lumbar fusion and instrumentation were not associated with increased rate of reoperation at index or adjacent levels compared with nonfusion techniques and the only specific risk factor for reoperation after treatment of spinal stenosis was duration of pretreatment symptoms more than 12 months.
Computerized questionnaires and the quality of survey data.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared missing response rates and internal consistency between computerized and paper surveys administered to spine patients, and found that computer surveys had approximately half the missing response rate of paper surveys.
Response of the ligamentous lumbar spine to cyclic bending loads
TL;DR: The results suggest that the bending moment of low magnitude, usually experienced by the spine during activities of dally living, alone may not trigger the mechanical failure processes in the disc.
