Study Design: Single-institution retrospective cohort study. Objective: Determine the impact of graft height and material on radiographic pseudarthrosis, pseudarthrosis requiring reoperation, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Summary Background Data: The success an anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) depends obtaining solid bony to achieve stability restore disc height. While various interbody options exist, rate remains area ongoing investigation. Methods: Patients who...
Objective Obesity has become a public health crisis and continues to be on the rise. An elevated body mass index been linked higher rates of spinal degenerative disease requiring surgical intervention. Limited studies exist that evaluate effects obesity perioperative complications in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF). Our study aims determine incidence ACDF population it may have postoperative inpatient complications. Methods The National Inpatient Sample was...
Objective Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the most common performed surgery in spine. Dysphagia one of frequent complications following ACDF. Several studies have identified certain demographic perioperative risk factors associated with increased dysphagia rates, but few reported recent trends. Our study aims to report current trends development inpatient postoperative after Methods The National Inpatient Sample was evaluated from 2004 2014 discharges International...
Bibliometric literature review.The aim of this study was to recognize and analyze the most frequently cited manuscripts published in journal Spine.Although Spine is considered a premiere location for distributing influential spine research, no previous has evaluated which their publications have had impact. Knowledge appreciation can guide inspire future research endeavors.Using Scopus database, 100 articles were accessed. The frequency citations, year publication, country origin,...
<h3>Background</h3> Cervical radiculopathy is a spine ailment frequently requiring surgical decompression via anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) or posterior foraminotomy/discectomy. While endoscopic foraminotomy/discectomy gaining popularity, its financial impact remains understudied despite equivalent randomized long-term outcomes to ACDF. In cohort of patients undergoing ACDF vs foraminotomy/discectomy, we sought compare the total cost episode while confirming an safety...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Open thoracic diskectomy often requires significant bone resection and fusion, whereas an endoscopic offers a less invasive alternative. Therefore, we sought to compare one-level open vs regarding (1) perioperative outcomes, (2) neurological recovery, (3) total cost. METHODS: A single-center, retrospective, cohort study using prospectively collected data of patients undergoing was undertaken from 2018 2023. The primary exposure variable endoscopic. outcome outcomes...
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To identify factors predictive of returning to work within 90 days laminoplasty for degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). Background: DCM is a debilitating condition resulting from spinal canal stenosis and cord compression. One surgical option decompression laminoplasty. Factors influencing return (RTW) postsurgery are unknown. Methods: This study included adult patients previously employed, undergoing primary elective DCM, with...
Retrospective cohort study.
A retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected data.
Obtaining timely postoperative radiotherapy (RT) following separation surgery is critical to avoid local recurrence of disease yet can be a challenge due scheduling conflicts, insurance denials, and travel arrangements. In patients undergoing metastatic spine for spinal cord compression, the authors sought to: 1) report rate RT, 2) describe reasons not receiving 3) investigate factors that may predict whether patient receives RT.
Study Design. Retrospective Cohort Objective. Investigate the disparities between octogenarians and non-octogenarians undergoing cervical spine surgery regarding perioperative, postoperative outcomes. Summary of Background Data. As population ages, demand for elective among older, more active adults increases. However, concerns remain optimal management older patients surgery, given potential complexities associated with advanced age, comorbidities, physiological decline. While safety...
Three patients were referred to our musculoskeletal oncology service after undergoing autologous fat grafting procedures. Two masses suspected be "soft tissue sarcomas," and one was due a mass of unknown origin. These findings have not been reported in the orthopedic literature may generate potential referrals for oncologists.Awareness complications procedures from other surgical specialties their radiographic characteristics is utmost importance. The clinical that could assist...
