Objective: The finite element analysis method was used to compare the biomechanical performance of the individualized interbody fusion cage, the clinically common double bullet type fusion cage and the healthy…
Background: Intrathecal nusinersen is the first Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for spinal muscular atrophy. Reliable intrathecal access is critical for initial and maintenance therapy; however, this can be challenging…
BACKGROUND Degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) patients undergoing posterior long-segment spinal fusion surgery often require perioperative blood transfusions, and previous studies have reported that increased complications and additional costs accompany these…
Introduction: The presence of symptomatic lumbar facet cysts has been associated with segmental instability. Given this association, decompression vs decompression with fusion is a frequently debated topic. Multiple grading scales…
Objective: To evaluate the biomechanical stability of oblique lumbar inter-body fusion stand-alone (OLIF SA) under different bone mineral density (BMD) conditions and analyze the effect of different BMD conditions on…
Study design: Retrospective cohort studying using a national, administrative database. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the postoperative complications and quality outcomes of patients with and without…
Study design: Retrospective case control. Objectives: The purpose of the current study is to determine risk factors associated with chronic opioid use after spine surgery. Methods: In our single institution…
Purpose: The aim of our study is to analyse mid- to long-term severe adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery outcomes by comparing three-column osteotomies (3CO) and multiple anterior interbody fusion cages…
Objective: Numerous studies have reported on synovial facet joint cysts of the spine as a primary lesion. The exact pathogenesis of those cysts is still controversial, but degeneration and destabilization…
Objective: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is an effective surgical modality for many lumbar degenerative pathologies, but a rare and infrequently reported complication is postoperative lymphocele. The goals of the…
