Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze results according to postoperative pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) mismatch in the management of adult spine deformity (ASD) patients. Recently, it has…
Background: Endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion using a cage can have a similar fusion rate as minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) or open lumbar interbody fusion. Direct visual control…
Study design: Retrospective matched-pair analysis. Objectives: Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) have a reported prevalence of 4-36% in the population. The safe zones for screw placement for spinopelvic fusion in adult…
Study design: Retrospective review. Objective: To use predictive modeling and machine learning to identify patients at risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) following posterior lumbar fusion (PLF) for degenerative spinal pathology.…
Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) still exists at the follow-up visit in some cases after long fusion arthrodesis for adult scoliosis. However, few available studies have elaborated the reasons and…
Objective: To compare clinical effects of different postoperative rehabilitation modes on lumbar degenerative diseases, and explore influence of rehabilitation mode and other factors on postoperative effect. Methods: From June 2013…
Objective: To explore diagnosis and surgical treatment of symptomatic lumbar spinal epidural lipoplasia. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 19 patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal epidural hyperplasia treated with hemilaminectomy and…
Since the concept of "safe area" put forward by Lewinnek, it has been widely recognized. While in recent years, many scholars have found that even if the acetabular prosthesis was…
There has been no ideal surgical approach for lumbar brucella spondylitis (LBS). This study aims to compare clinical efficacy and safety of posterior versus anterior approaches for the treatment of…
Background context: Synthetic bone graft substitutes are commonly used in spinal fusion surgery. Preclinical data in a model of spinal fusion to support their efficacy is an important component in…
