Introduction: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is defined as a neuromuscular disorder induced by progressive weakness of the skeletal muscle and is usually accompanied by progressive spinal deformity including scoliosis. The…
Introduction: The relationship between degree of surgical overlap and adverse postoperative outcomes remains poorly defined. This study aims to evaluate the impact of increasing duration of overlap on lumbar fusion…
Introduction: This study was conducted to compare bone-filled intervertebral cages with autologous bone chips for instrumented lumbar interbody fusion in patients with spinal stenosis and degenerative spondylolisthesis. Methods: Surgery consisted…
Background: In the late stage of spinal tuberculosis, the bony destruction and vertebral collapse often leads to significant kyphosis, presenting clinically as a painful gibbus deformity, with increased instability, vertebral…
Background: Conservative treatment including the use of a brace and cessation of sports activities is known to be effective in spondylolysis. However, there is some controversy regarding [1] the type…
Study design: A retrospective case-control study. Objective: Only a few studies have studied the incidence of new-onset SI joint pain following lumbar spine fusion surgery. We aimed to explore the…
Purpose: The purpose of our meta-analyses is to find the most appropriate surgical technique treating lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD). Spinal fusion is the conventional treatment for lumbar DDD. Total…
