Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a well-established risk factor for mechanical complications following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. Hounsfield units (HU) measured on computed tomography (CT) scans are proxy of BMD. In ASD surgery, we sought to: (I) evaluate the association HU with and reoperation, (II) identify optimal threshold to predict occurrence complications.A single-institution retrospective cohort study was undertaken patients undergoing surgery from 2013-2017. Inclusion...
The choice of upper-instrumented vertebrae (UIV) for posterior spinal fusion (PSF) constructs is influenced by guidelines where UIV T4 or more cephalad. In a cohort patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) thoracic curves, we sought to (a) compare postoperative shoulder balance T5-T6 versus T2-T4 and (b) evaluate curve operative characteristics that lead caudal UIV. A single-institution AIS registry was queried undergoing PSF from 2000 2017. Included were AIS, Lenke 1 2 minimum...
Primary osteoporosis is the most common cause of sacral insufficiency fractures (SIFs). Therefore, a multidisciplinary team approach necessary for treatment fracture and underlying biologic pathology, as well prevention future fragility fractures.The presentation SIFs typically includes lower back or buttock pain after ground-level fall without an identified trauma. Symptoms often have insidious onset are nonspecific; consequently, delay in diagnosis common. Clinicians need to high index...
Anthropomorphic phantoms were used to measure radiation exposure the surgeon phantom's eye. Groups analyzed were: Group 1-no glasses (None); 2-leaded lenses without lead sides (WOLS); 3-leaded with (WLS); and 4-sport wraparound leaded (Sport). Glasses 0.75 mm equivalent.To evaluate efficacy of three types eyeglasses at reducing lens during typical views minimally invasive spine surgery.Minimally surgery relies upon fluoroscopic x-ray. Ocular is associated cataract formation. Leaded can...
Laminoplasty is a well-established technique used to manage cervical myelopathy (CM). Nevertheless, the degree which United States surgeons have adopted laminoplasty from Japan treat CM less clear. The purpose of this study was compare operative management strategies for in (US) with Japan.This retrospective cohort 16,084 patients American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database and 389,872 Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination (DPC) 2007 2015....
Abstract As more commercial insurance companies adopt a bundled reimbursement model, similar to the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) algorithm Medicare beneficiaries, accurate risk adjustment of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is critical ensure success. With this movement toward reimbursement, it unknown if formula adjusting risks in population could be applied PROs commercially insured and Advantage populations undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study was...
Study Design. Retrospective review. Objective. The aim was to compare outcomes at 3 and 12 months for patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis treated direct decompression (DD) versus indirect (ID) techniques. Summary of Background Data. Debate persists regarding the optimal surgical strategy treat spondylolisthesis. Novel techniques relying on ID have shown superior radiographic compared DD, however, doubt remains their effectiveness in achieving adequate decompression. Currently, there is a...
Despite recent advances in applied instruments and surgical techniques, the incidence of iatrogenic durotomies caused by traditional techniques remains significant. The ultrasonic bone scalpel (UBS) has been shown to improve speed reduce complications laminectomies cervical thoracic spine when compared methods utilizing high-speed burr, punch forceps, or rongeurs. Thus, this study, we aim evaluate whether use UBS lumbar would result equivalent safety, efficacy, patient-reported outcomes...
Retrospective cohort study.
Category: Trauma; Hindfoot Introduction/Purpose: Talar neck fracture-dislocations are uncommon but potentially devastating given the critical role talus plays in lower extremity biomechanics. Open reduction internal fixation of this injury pattern is associated with high rates post- operative complications. Arthrodesis subtalar joint during index surgery for these fractures offers several hypothetical advantages including increased stability and enhanced osseous blood supply to as well...
