Background: Bilateral decompression via unilateral approach (BDUA) is an effective surgical approach for treating lumbar degenerative diseases. However, no studies of prognosis, especially the recovery of the soft tissue, have…
Study design: This was a retrospective observational study. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of percutaneous pedicle screw placement using augmented reality surgical navigation during…
Study design: This is a retrospective observational study. Objective: This study evaluates the impact of postoperative fever on the rate of readmission among lumbar fusion patients. Summary of background data:…
Background: Our group used vertebral bone marrow aspirate (BMA) with an anterior truss-based interbody implant to promote fusion. This implant has biomechanical characteristics that may enhance bone on-growth and through-growth…
Background: Lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) is used to treat lumbar degenerative disorders. Methods to improve the functional recovery of patients undergoing LSF is one of the main goals in daily…
Background: Recent studies support the need for sagittal alignment restoration when performing lumbar degenerative spinal fusions. The development of patient-specific spine rods (PSSRs) may help maintain or improve sagittal alignment…
Background: The transition of minimally invasive (MIS) spine surgery from the inpatient to outpatient setting has been aided by advances in multimodal analgesic (MMA) protocols. This clinical case series of…
Background: Surgical intervention for pyogenic spondylitis is indicated when conservative treatment fails and biomechanical instability persists. Whether to insert pedicle screws into all vertebrae, including the most erosive vertebrae, or…
