Purpose: A retrospective cohort study was performed to evaluate pseudoarthrosis treatment results by injection of cement in disc space of failed fusion in posterior lumbar interbody fusion in patients above…
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has already had a significant impact on surgical treatment (spine). Because they are less invasive, minimally invasive treatments are often preferred over open spine surgery. MIS…
Background context: The importance of bone status assessment in spine surgery is well recognized. The current gold standard for assessing bone mineral density is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). However, DEXA…
Background: The U.S. healthcare sector produces ∼10% of national greenhouse gas emissions, paradoxically harming human health. Neurosurgery is a resource-intensive specialty that likely contributes significantly, yet literature assessing this impact…

Background: The effect of spinopelvic fixation in addition to LSF on dislocation/instability and revision in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has not previously been reported. Methods: The PearlDiver…
Background: Minimally invasive separation surgery (MISS) is a safe and effective surgical technique, the current optimal treatment for spinal metastases. However, the learning curve for this technique has not been…
Background: Optimal approaches for treating surgical spine pathology in very geriatric patients, such as those over the age of 80, remain unclear. Objective: To describe outcomes of awake, transforaminal endoscopic…
Background: Infective spondylodiscitis has been treated solely with antibiotics based on the pathogen identified. Surgical intervention was used in cases of unidentified pathogens, failed antibiotic treatment, neurological deficit, or instability.…
This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of circumferential minimally invasive surgery (CMIS) using lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) and percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) in adult spinal deformity…
