Aims: Patients with spinal pathology who undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) have an increased risk of dislocation and revision. The aim of this study was to determine if the use…
Background: Infection after vertebral augmentation (VA) often limits the daily activities of patients and even threatens their life. The operation may be one of the effective treatments if the patient…
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the biomechanical effects of fixation on range of motion (ROM) in the upper and lower adjacent segments of different lumbar spine…
Introduction and objective: Agricultural accidents often result in spinal injuries, particularly in fractures of the thoraco-lumbar spine. Surgical treatment of thoraco-lumbar fractures continues to comprise a major medical problem. The…
Purpose: Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) is a minimally invasive method of surgical treatment of miscellaneous spinal conditions. We describe our experience with PTED in extreme cases of foraminal stenosis…
Background and purpose: Lumbar stenosis and instability frequently coexist. Spinal canal decompression is often combined with fixation of the relevant vertebral segment and can be performed using different techniques and…
Objective: Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a common disease in spinal surgery. Many related treatment methods have been reported, but their effectiveness still lacks a systematic comparison. We aimed to…
Background: Bony fusion rate was significantly lower in patients with type 3 Modic change than patients with normal endplates. It is not known whether there are relevant differences in fusion…
Objective: To identify radiological factors and functional outcomes associated with good results after implantation of a single lumbar disc prosthesis or a hybrid construct (anterior lumbar interbody fusion and lumbar…
Purpose: The modification of cervical lordosis (CL) after adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery is influenced by the correction of thoracic hypokyphosis. The quantification of the increase of CL as a…
