The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty.

In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day. Manuscripts are provided from a range of health care providers including those in physical medicine, orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, neurosurgery, physical therapy, radiology, osteopathy, chiropractic and nursing on topics ranging from chronic pain to sports medicine. Diagnostic decision trees and treatment algorithms are encouraged in each manuscript. Controversial topics are discussed in commentaries and rebuttals. Associated areas such as medical-legal, worker's compensation and practice guidelines are included.

The journal publishes original research papers, review articles, programme descriptions and cast studies. Letters to the editors, commentaries, and editorials are also welcomed. Manuscripts are peer reviewed. Constructive critiques are given to each author. Suggestions for thematic issues and proposed manuscripts are welcomed.

Osseous bridging of lumbar transverse processes causing low back pain: A case report and review of the literature

Authors: Sahin, Ozlem | Gurel, Kamil | Gurel, Safiye | Gulekon, Nadir

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: Congenital or developmental osseous bridging between lumbar transverse processes is a very rare condition which may cause low back pain. Etiology of most of the cases is alleged to be post traumatic in origin whereas congenital nature is much less. The nature of bridging can not be determined just depending on patient's medical history. Radiological findings such as shape and outlines of bridging help in differentiation of congenital and traumatic etiology. We present x-ray and multidedector CT (MDCT) findings of a girl as the youngest to be reported with congenital transverse process bridging in the literature.

Traumatic lumbar pedicle fracture associated with pre-existing bilateral spondylolysis and anterolisthesis in a professional soccer player

Authors: van der Heijden, Chantal | Claerbout, Maria | Peers, Koen | Lauweryns, Philippe

Article Type: Research Article

Abstract: A traumatic pedicle fracture in association with pre-existing bilateral spondylolysis and anterolisthesis has never been described. A 27-year-old male professional football player presented with acute gluteal pain caused by a traumatic fracture of the left pedicle L5 missed on plain radiographs, but seen on CT-scan and confirmed on bone scintigraphy. Instability caused by this fracture in association with pre-existing bilateral spondylolysis and grade I-anterolisthesis required immobilization of the lumbar spine. Since no neurological deficit was observed, it was decided not to operate but to treat the patient with analgesics and with a lumbar orthosis which would provide unilateral hip … Show more
