Study Design: This is a prospective study that was undertaken at a single centre and involved 80 consecutive patients diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of a qualitative grading system as seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool in the management of multilevel LSS. Overview of Literature: LSS diagnosis is clinical but is usually radiologically supplemented. However, there are often multilevel radiological findings with non-specific or atypical clinical features. We used a qualitative grading system to help in the decision-making process of the management of patients with multilevel LSS. Methods: 80 patients with LSS were treated with decompression and prospectively followed-up for a minimum of 12 months. All had failed conservative treatment. Qualitative grading of LSS severity was based on the dural sac in T2 weighted axial MRI images at all disc levels and was done from L1–2 to L5–S1 (n=400). Functional outcome was assessed using the Oswestry disability index (ODI). Results: The mean patient age was 56.6 years, with a gender ratio of 0.6:1. Forty patients had degenerative LSS and 40 had degenerative spondylolysthesis. A total of 178 levels were decompressed, the majority of which were L4–L5 (43.82%), followed by L5–S1 (41.57%). According to our qualitative grading system, grade D stenosis (53.93%) was decompressed most frequently, followed by grade C stenosis (41.57%). The average preoperative ODI score was 58.55%, which later reduced to 19.15%. Seventy percent of patients achieved excellent results, whereas 30% achieved good results. Conclusions: Morphological grading is a useful tool in decision making in surgery for multilevel LSS. Grade C and D stenosis should be decompressed, whereas A and B should not be, unless clinically justified.

Study Design: This is a retrospective study on patients with traumatic subaxial cervical spondyloptosis and includes a review of the available literature regarding the management of this injury. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the biomechanics and varied clinical presentations of this rare but devastating injury. Overview of Literature: This is a case series of three patients and a review of the available literature on subaxial cervical spondyloptosis. Traumatic cervical spondyloptosis of the subaxial spine is rare, with varied clinical presentations. Methods: The management of cervical subaxial spondyloptosis represents a challenge to all spine care specialists, and there is a paucity of literature on the best methods for managing this condition. Our experience includes three such patients who visited our tertiary trauma center. This article explains the diverse clinical features of the injury as well as the management of these patients and includes a review of the available literature. Results: Subaxial cervical spondyloptosis is a devastating injury with diverse clinical features. We present a classification of these fractures based on clinical presentation and magnetic resonance imaging results, which can help in decision-making regarding the management of such patients. Conclusions: This article may help physicians assess this injury in an evidence-based manner and also elucidates the management strategies available for such patients.
