Purpose: To examine the risk factors of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) after surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) focusing on rod contour. Methods: Sixty-three patients with ASD who underwent surgery…
Objective: Previous studies have investigated biomechanical characteristics of the lumbar spine after different types of lumbar interbody fusion surgery under static loadings. However, very few have dealt with the whole-body…
Study design: Retrospective radiological analysis. Objective: To explore whether proximal fusion level above first coronal reverse vertebrae (FCRV) could decrease risk of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) in degenerative lumbar scoliosis…
Study design: A retrospective case-control study. Objective: To evaluate the behavior of pelvic incidence (PI) after different posterior spinal procedures in elderly patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD), to determine…
Background context: The reoperation rate following TDR (Total Disc replacement) has been established at short- and mid-term time points through the Food and Drug Administration Investigational Device Exemption (FDA IDE)…
Background: A few meta-analyses have compared conventional pedicle screws (PS) with cortical bone trajectory-pedicle screws (cortical screw [CS]) in posterior lumbar fusion surgery. However, these studies did not control for…
Background context: Although fusion rates in posterolateral lumbar fusions with pedicle screws (PLF+PS) and anterior lumbar interbody fusions with pedicle screws (ALIF+PS) have been reported, there has been no consensus…
Aims: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients undergoing or having a prior lumbar spine fusion (LSF) have an increased risk of mechanical complications. The aim of this registry-based, retrospective comparative cohort…
