BACKGROUND: Previous literature has examined the association between lumbosacral pathology and hip pathomechanics. However, the effect of lumbosacral pathologies and previous lumbosacral surgery on achieving meaningful outcomes after hip arthroscopy…
OBJECTIVES: To compare the clinical outcomes of percutaneous robot-assisted minimally invasive pedicle screw insertion versus freehand fluoroscopy-assisted pedicle screw insertion using a traditional open technique in elderly patients undergoing an…
OBJECTIVE: To conclude of the technical notes of percutaneous transforaminal endoscope-assisted lumbar interbody fusion (PT-Endo-LIF), and to investigate its safety and efficacy for treatment of degenerative lumbar disease.METHODS: Twenty-four patients…
PURPOSE: A variety of alternative grafts to autologous iliac crest bone (ICBG) have been developed for lumbar spondylodesis, due to frequent complications following ICBG harvest. The optimal alternative graft to…
Many patients are affected by concurrent disease of the hip and spine, undergoing both total hip arthroplasty (THA) and lumbar spinal fusion (LSF). Recent literature demonstrates increased prosthetic dislocation rates…
Posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) used to treat degenerative lumbar conditions still faces pseudarthrosis. Bone graft choice is a key factor; a traditional choice has been autologous iliac crest bone graft…
Anterior column realignment (ACR) with anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) release from a lateral transpsoas approach is increasingly being used as a minimally invasive technique to restore lordosis. Safe execution requires…
STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study evaluating cranial facet joint violation (FJV) by cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw.OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence and risk factors of FJV following CBT screw placement…
The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the most appropriate distal fusion level in terms of clinical results and radiological changes in Lenke 3C adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).…
