Spinal meningiomas are rare in the lumbosacral region. The best solution is complete tumor resection. However, how to preserve the patient?s rectum/bladder function after en bloc resection is still a…
Study design: A multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial. Objective: To investigate interbody bone fusion rates in titanium-coated polyetheretherketone (TiPEEK) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgery.…
Study design: Retrospective observational cohort study. Objectives: To compare the benefits of long and short fusion treatments, and to identify factors potentially aiding surgeons' decision making about the surgical management…
Study design: Retrospective study. Objective: To analyze proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) occurrence and surgical outcomes according to degree of lumbar lordosis (LL) correction relative to pelvic incidence (PI). In addition,…
Study design: Case-control study from a continuous series. Objectives: To study the impact of perioperative sitting radiographs in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients and determine whether proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK)…
Purpose: This prospective, stratified, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled multicentre study investigated the safety and effectiveness of reducing blood loss and preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) during posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in…
Objective: Few studies have addressed that dynamic sagittal imbalance can develop distal to the spinal fusion and cause sagittal malalignment, unlike proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in the proximal portion. The…
