The present study examined the necessity of cement-augmented pedicle screw fixation in osteoporotic patients with single-segment isthmic spondylolisthesis.Fifty-nine cases were reviewed retrospectively. Thirty-three cases were in the polymethylmethacrylate-augmented pedicle screw…
Background: Little is known regarding appropriate timing for chemical venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis initiation in operative traumatic spinal injuries. We hypothesized that the incidence of post-operative bleeding leading to neurological…
Background context: Fulfillment of expectations is a patient-centered outcome that has not been assessed based on fusion status for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (LDS). Purpose: To compare preoperatively cited expectations and…
