To compare the efficacy and safety of different surgical procedures for patients with single-segment lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) was conducted in this study. Randomized controlled trials…
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a progressive disease usually associated with loss of ambulation and progressive scoliosis. Immobilisation and glucocorticoid treatment are predisposing factors for reduced bone mineral density (BMD). Analysis…
Background: Preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been described in various fields to predict pain outcomes, but its prognostic utility for pain/functional outcomes after spine surgery is unclear. Objective: To determine…
Purpose: To assess spinal stability in different physiological positions whilst weight-bearing. Methods: A cone beam CT scanner (CBCT) was used to identify any abnormal motion in the spine in different…
Background: This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) for patients with chronic symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures (CSOTLF) and kyphosis who underwent long-segment internal fixation.…

Objectives: To investigate the risk factors of suboptimal postoperative outcomes after short-segment surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS) and severe sagittal imbalance and to recommend the appropriate candidates for…
Background: Neuromuscular scoliosis is commonly associated with a large pelvic obliquity. Scoliosis in children with cerebral palsy is most commonly managed with posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion. While consensus is…
Background: Intraoperative endplate injury can result in late-onset cage subsidence in oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF). This study aimed to identify risk factors for intraoperative endplate injury and investigate whether…
Study design: Retrospective observational study. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone mineral density using Hounsfield unit (HU) values at the upper instrumented vertebrae (UIV), UIV+1, and…
