Objective: Persistent coronal imbalance (PCI) can develop postoperatively. In this study, the authors aimed to clarify the risk factors and clinical impact of PCI after posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in…
Objective: The analysis of sagittal alignment by measuring spinopelvic parameters has been widely adopted among spine surgeons globally, and sagittal imbalance is a well-documented cause of poor quality of life.…
Objective: Adjacent-segment disease (ASD) proximal to lumbosacral fusion is assumed to result from increased stress and motion that extends above or below the fusion construct. Sublaminar bands (SBs) have been…
Objective: Preoperative prediction of a patient's postoperative healthcare utilization is challenging, and limited guidance currently exists. The objective of the present study was to assess the capability of individual risk-related…
Objective: Measuring costs across entire episodes of care, time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) has recently been described as a novel cost accounting arm of value-based care organizations. Lean methodology is a…
Background: In this study, we investigate the effect of simultaneous fusion of preexisting adjacent spinal canal stenosis on the outcome of patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis. Methods: Patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis…
Purpose: To explore risk profiles of patients scheduled for lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) and their association with short-term recovery of patient after surgery. Methods: Forty-nine patients scheduled for elective 1-3…
