Introduction: Several targets have been proposed to achieve satisfactory alignment and favorable outcomes in adult spinal deformity surgery. Stopping the upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) at the thoracolumbar junction levels, especially…
Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop and internally validate a prediction nomogram model in patients undergoing lumbar fusion surgery. Methods: A total of 310 patients undergoing lumbar…
Background: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) has been widely used as an alternative bone graft in spine fusion surgery. However, clinical outcome such as effects and complications has not…
Study design: Retrospective cohort Study. Objectives: To identify predictive factors for coronal imbalance after selective fusion in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with Lenke type 1 curves. Methods: AIS patients with…
Background: In managing paediatric spinal deformities, the currently-in-use growth maturity assessment parameters (clinical or radiological) are based mostly on Caucasian populations. They may be adequate for general treatment planning but…
Objective: To investigate the surgical techniques and postoperative therapeutic effectiveness of microsurgical treatment of lumbar paravertebral tumors via lateral retroperitoneal approach. Methods: The clinical data of 6 cases with lumbar…
Due to their immunosuppressive potential and ability to differentiate into multiple musculoskeletal cell lineages, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) became popular in clinical trials for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. The…
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to use a Delphi analysis to identify a clinically relevant threshold for the prevalence of neural axis abnormalities (NAAs) that would warrant routine…
Background: Cervical pseudarthrosis is a postoperative adverse event that has both clinical and financial implications and occurs when a surgically induced fusion fails to establish bone growth connecting the two…
