Background: Few studies have assessed the impact of overlapping surgery during different timepoints of neurosurgical procedures. Objective: To evaluate the impact of overlap before the critical portion of surgery on…
Background: For lumbar degenerative diseases, cage subsidence is a serious complication and can result in the failure of indirect decompression in the oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) procedure. Whether additional…
Background: Posterior fixation without fusion can treat thoracolumbar and lumbar traumatic fractures effectively in certain cases. However, whether patients benefit from implant removal, and the correlation between the range of…
Background: Hypotension is a common event in patients under general anesthesia during lumbar spine fusion surgery. The reduction of venous drainage followed by the postural changes is the main reason.…
Study design: Register study with prospectively collected data. Objective: The aim was to investigate reoperation rates at the index level and the adjacent levels after surgery for lumbar L3-4 spinal…
Study design: This was a retrospective cohort study. Objective: While intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has been increasingly used in spine surgery to have a real-time evaluation of the neurological injury, we…
Introduction: The impact of lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) on pelvic mobility and increased risk for THA dislocation are recognized. However, there is still controversy on whether THA should be performed…
Purpose: Only several cases of acetabular "fatigue"/insufficiency fractures have been reported in elderly patients with osteoporosis. However, fatigue acetabular fracture below lumbopelvic fixation has not been published. This review reports…
Background: Limited literature has addressed impact of preoperative back pain severity on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), recovery ratios (RRs), and patient satisfaction following minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS…
Background: Single and multilevel lumbar arthroplasty has had excellent results, but the L5-S1 level frequently has pathology that precludes arthroplasty. This study evaluated clinical outcomes and sagittal range of motion…
