Background: The new emerging application of decompression combined with fusion comes with a concern of cost performance, however, it is a lack of big data support. We aimed to evaluate…
Study design: Retrospective cohort. Objectives: Allocating cost is challenging with traditional hospital accounting. Time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) is an efficient method to accurately assign cost. We sought to characterize the…
Study design: Prospective, multi-center, partially randomized. Objective: Assess rates of complications, revision surgery, and radiation between Mazor robotic-guidance (RG) and fluoro-guidance (FG). Summary of background data: MIS ReFRESH is the…
Study design: Retrospective descriptive, multicenter study. Objective: The aim of this study was to predict the three-dimensional (3D) radiographic outcomes of the spinal surgery in a cohort of adolescent idiopathic…
Background and importance: Lumbar hyperlordosis in ambulatory children is an uncommon but potentially problematic spinal deformity, and the operative management has not been comprehensively described. Clinical presentation: We report the…
Study design: Prospective cohort study. Objective: To evaluate whether pre-existing adjacent spinal canal stenosis (SCS) is associated with short-term outcomes after lumbar fusion surgery. Methods: We included patients with lumbar…
Objective: Symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) unresponsive to conservative therapy is commonly treated by surgical decompression. In this study, we compared clinical outcomes after decompressive surgery for LSS in patients…
Background: Instrumented fusion is the standard treatment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). In patients with both thoracic and lumbar curves there is a trend toward fusing the major curve and…
