Background: The majority of published data report the results of biomechanical tests of various design pedicle screw performance. The clinical relevance and relative contribution of screw design to instrumentation stability…
Background: The combination of screw fixation and cage can provide stability in lumbar interbody fusion (LIF), which is an important technique to treat lumbar degeneration diseases. As the narrow surface…
Background: Interventions designed to decrease opioid prescribing in orthopaedics have been effective when employed by specific institutions, subspecialties, and procedures. The objectives of this study were to examine the effectiveness…

Background: Single-position prone lateral interbody fusion is a recently introduced technical modification of the minimally invasive retroperitoneal transpsoas approach for lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF). Several technical descriptions of single-position…
Background: Given the significant cost and morbidity of patients undergoing lumbar fusion, accurate pre-operative risk-stratification would be of great utility. We aim to develop a machine learning model for prediction…
Objective: To evaluate the improvement of drop foot following lumbar decompression surgery and determine the prognostic factors that might influence the recovery of drop foot. Summary and background date: Drop…
Objective: To evaluate medical and surgical complication rates between robotic-assisted vs. conventional elective posterior lumbar fusions. Methods: The Symphony Integrated DataVerse was queried using International Classification of Diseases 10th Edition…
Background: Previous studies have shown that for healthy spine, cyclic loading encountered due to whole-body vibration exposure generated higher responses in spinal tissues than static loading. However, how whole-body vibration…
Background: Although adjacent segmental intervertebral disc degeneration (ASDD) is one of the most common complications after lumbar fusion, its exact mechanism remains unclear. As an antibody to RANKL, denosumab (Dmab)…
