Introduction: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a non-inflammatory disease, which causes the ossification of spinal longitudinal ligaments and enthesis leads to stiffness in the affected segment of the spine…
Background: Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) represents the rare and complex deformity characterized by congenital defects in the formation or segmentation of the cervical vertebrae. There is a wide gap in understanding…
Study design: Retrospective study. Objective: To investigate the long-term fate of asymptomatic PJK focusing on the elderly patients with sagittal imbalance by comparing the patients with and without PJK. Summary…
Objective: To explore associations of preoperative physical performance with short and long-term postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion (LSF). Design: Retrospective cohort. Setting: University hospital. Population: Seventy-seven patients…

Objective: Coronal malalignment (CM) in adult spinal deformity is associated with poor outcomes and remains underappreciated in the literature. Recent attempts at classifying CM indicate that some coronal shifts may…
Objective: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for spinal deformity uses interbody techniques for correction, indirect decompression, and arthrodesis. Selection criteria for choosing a particular interbody approach are lacking. The authors created…
