Objective: To evaluate the improvement of drop foot following lumbar decompression surgery and determine the prognostic factors that might influence the recovery of drop foot. Summary and background date: Drop…
Objective: To evaluate medical and surgical complication rates between robotic-assisted vs. conventional elective posterior lumbar fusions. Methods: The Symphony Integrated DataVerse was queried using International Classification of Diseases 10th Edition…
Background: Previous studies have shown that for healthy spine, cyclic loading encountered due to whole-body vibration exposure generated higher responses in spinal tissues than static loading. However, how whole-body vibration…
Background: Although adjacent segmental intervertebral disc degeneration (ASDD) is one of the most common complications after lumbar fusion, its exact mechanism remains unclear. As an antibody to RANKL, denosumab (Dmab)…
Study design: This was a retrospective cohort study. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the impact of obesity on postoperative outcomes and minimum clinically important difference (MCID)…
Study design: A single-center randomized controlled study. Objective: The objective of this study was to introduce a novel robotic system with an independent arm ("Orthbot Intelligent Orthopedic Minimally Invasive System";…
Study design: This was a prospective cohort study (observational-retrospective chart review). Objective: The objective of this study was to determine clinical rates and correlations of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in…
Purpose: Compare the efficacy of full-endoscopic lumbar decompression surgery (FELDS) and open decompression and fusion surgery (ODFS) for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Patients and methods: A retrospective analysis of 358…
Purpose: To determine the effect of planned two-stage surgery using lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) on the perioperative complication rate following corrective fusion surgery in patients with kyphoscoliosis. Methods: Consecutive…
Objective: Various reconstructive surgical procedures have been described for lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) with osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC); however, the optimal surgery remains controversial. In this study, the authors…
