Objective: Group patients who required open surgery for metastatic breast cancer to the spine by functional level and metastatic disease characteristics to identify factors that predispose to poor outcomes. Methods:…
Background: Pedicle screw loosening is a complication of spinal instrumentation in osteoporotic patients. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans are not able to detect variations in bone mineral density (BMD) within specific…
Objective: This study aimed to systematically review the literature for comparative and non-comparative studies reporting on clinical outcomes of patients with lumbar foraminal stenosis treated by either endoscopic foraminotomy or…
Purpose: Previous work has demonstrated the high accuracy of augmented reality (AR) head-mounted displays for pedicle screw placement in spinal fusion surgery. An important question that remains unanswered is how…
Background: WNT974 is a small molecule inhibitor of Wnt signaling that specifically inhibits porcupine O-acyltransferase. This phase Ib dose--escalation study evaluated the maximum tolerated dose of WNT974 in combination with…
Purpose: Does differential correction of main thoracic curve (MTC) and instrumented LIV angulation based on lumbar modifiers affect radiographic outcomes, and can preoperative supine AP radiograph be used to guide…
Background: It is an ongoing debate whether fusion surgery is superior to non-operative treatment for non-specific low back pain (LBP) in terms of patient outcome. Further, the evidence for how…
Objective: To compare the efficacy among stand-alone oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF-SA), OLIF combined with lateral screw internal fixation (OLIF-AF) and OLIF combined with posterior percutaneous pedicle screw internal…
Study design: Retrospective, single-center, cohort study. Objective: Investigate whether the incidence of postoperative delirium in older adults undergoing spinal fusion surgery is associated with postoperative muscle relaxant administration. Summary of…
Postoperative shoulder imbalance (PSI) is a common complication following adolescent idiopathic scolio- sis (AIS) surgery. There is little data available in literature on prediction of PSI. Prospectively collected data of…
