Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the preoperative radiographic features of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS) with and without local coronal imbalance (LCI) and to investigate the surgical…
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether bone mineral density (BMD) measured in Hounsfield units (HUs) is correlated with proximal junctional failure (PJF). Methods: A retrospective study…
Study design: A retrospective case-controlled study. Objectives: To evaluate overall infection rate and adverse event after harvesting bone graft soaking and surgical wound irrigation by povidone iodine solution (PVI) in…
Study design: A meta-analysis. Objective: We performed a meta-analysis to explore the incidence and risk factors of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after posterior lumbar fusion surgery. Methods: An extensive search…
Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether timing of lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) before revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) would impact dislocation and rerevision rates. Methods: This…
Study design: Retrospective cohort OBJECTIVE.: Analyze association between social determinants of health (SDH) disparity on postoperative complication rates, and 30-day and 90-day all-cause readmission in patients undergoing single-level lumbar fusions.…
Study design: Experimental animal study. Objectives: To clarify chronological effects of mechanical stress on ligamentum flavum (LF) using a long-term fusion rabbit model. Summary of background data: LF hypertrophy is…
Study design: A retrospective case series. Objective: To introduce the prevention of total hip arthroplasty (THA) dislocation using an implant impingement simulation after spinal corrective fusion and to verify the…
Background context: Pulmonary complications in patients age 75 years and older who undergo spinal fusion may have catastrophic consequences. The use of augmentation techniques with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) have been associated…
