The surgical treatment of congenital scoliosis under 10 years is difficult as it involves resecting vertebrae. Moreover, patient follow-up after surgery is extremely important because the patient is a child…
Background: Posterior edge separation of the vertebral body is an uncommon but non-rare orthopedic disease, the traditional treatment is posterior open surgery. Recently, a lot of attempts in minimally invasive…
Study design: Retrospective study. Objective: To investigate temporal changes in dural sac morphology after extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) indirect decompression for central lumbar spinal stenosis and to study the…
Study design: A prospective study. Objectives: We present a largest study until date performed over a period of 10 years assessing the perioperative complications. The primary aim of this study…
Background: Degenerative disorders of the lumbar spine decrease the mobility and quality of life of elderly patients. Lumbar fusion surgery is the primary method of treating degenerative lumbar spine disorders;…
Objective: Persistent lumbar foraminal stenosis (LFS) is one of the most common reasons for poor postoperative outcomes and is a major contributor to "failed back surgery syndrome." The authors describe…
Objective: Nonunion after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is associated with poor long-term outcomes in terms of health-related quality of life. Biomechanical factors in the fusion segment may influence spinal…
Objective: Rigid multiplanar thoracolumbar adult spinal deformity (ASD) cases are challenging and many require a 3-column osteotomy (3CO), specifically asymmetrical pedicle subtraction osteotomy (APSO). The outcomes and additional risks of…
Background and aim: Frailty is an independent predictor of mortality and adverse events (AEs) in patients undergoing surgery. This study aimed to quantify the ability of Modified Frailty Index (mFI)…
Background: An oscillating bone saw is rarely used to perform laminectomy. The purpose of this study was to describe a relatively quick and harmless technique for multilevel laminectomy in patients…
