C2 nerve root sectioning in C1-C2 arthrodesis: a single-surgeon series of 31 patients.
C2 nerve root sectioning during C1-C2 arthrodesis safely improved visualization for C1 screw placement with no postoperative neurological deficits in 31 patients.
Postoperative vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor reintiation after 40 days reduced wound complications in spinal metastasis surgery compared with earlier resumption.
Thai-version short-form spine oncology questionnaire demonstrates acceptable psychometric properties for measuring spinal tumor patient outcomes.
Patient-reported outcome measures correlate poorly with patients' global perception of health change after cervical spine surgery.
Pelvic fixation in pediatric neuromuscular scoliosis fusion increases short-term wound complications but achieves comparable long-term outcomes with appropriate perioperative management.
Spinal fusion concurrent with Shilla construct removal is preferred endpoint; late fusion attempts show larger curves and higher infection rates than immediate fusion.
Revision THA for instability carries 14.9% recurrent dislocation risk; prior spinal fusion increases failure while hip-spine workflow assessment reduces redislocation and re-revision rates.
Poor bone health significantly increases proximal junctional failure, revision surgery, and healthcare costs in adult spinal deformity surgery.
Sarcopenia detected on EOS imaging correlates with frailty and compensatory spinal deformity in adults with spinal deformity, enabling preoperative risk stratification.
Biportal endoscopic interbody fusion demonstrated superior endplate preparation quality and better back pain outcomes compared to conventional transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion.
Machine learning identified distinct risk factors for moderate versus severe proximal junctional kyphosis after adult spinal deformity surgery: geometric stress for moderate disease and lordosis maldistribution for severe disease.
Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Spine Surgery: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management.
Dysphagia occurs in 1-79% of anterior cervical spine surgery patients due to multifactorial causes including prolonged operative time and multilevel procedures; low-profile implants and retropharyngeal steroids reduce risk.
Segmental spinal dysgenesis: insights from three consecutive cases and a review of the literature.
Segmental spinal dysgenesis requires multidisciplinary management with surgical intervention timed to allow adequate growth while preventing drastic disease progression.
Posterior spinal fusion for skeletally mature adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis offers excellent radiographic outcomes but requires careful counseling about spinal mobility loss and decreased athletic performance.
Brace treatment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: risk factors for failure-a literature review.
Poor brace compliance, early skeletal maturity, and baseline curve magnitude exceeding 40 degrees significantly increase adolescent idiopathic scoliosis progression risk.
