Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is characterized by three-dimensional abnormalities of the thoracic or thoracolumbar spine that exerts significant impacts on health-related quality life (HRQoL). With important effects sagittal plane HRQoL, there have been paradigm shifts in ASD evaluation and management. Loss lumbar lordosis recognized as a key driver followed reducing kyphosis, pelvic retroversion, knee flexion. The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)– Schwab classification reflects spinopelvic...
Proximal junctional problems are among the potential complications of surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) and associated with higher morbidity increased rates revision surgery. The diverse manifestations proximal range from kyphosis (PJK) to failure (PJF). Although there is no universally accepted definition PJK, most common a angle greater than 10° that at least preoperative measurement. PJF represents progression PJK characterized by pain, gait disturbances, neurological deficits....
A retrospective study.To evaluate the surgical outcomes of posterior hemivertebra resection and short segment fusion with segmental pedicle screw fixation in congenital scoliosis children younger than 10 years.This is first long-term follow-up on using years scoliosis.Patients (n = 18) at time surgery were treated by bilateral fixation. The mean age was 6.6 (range, 2.6-9.8 yr). They retrospectively studied a 11.4 7.1-17.3 yr).The Cobb angle main curve 34.4° before surgery, 8.6° after 12.9°...
There have not been well-designed survey studies investigating the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on orthopaedic resident education. A 58-question, web-based was administered to residents in South Korea. total 229 from 43 hospitals completed questionnaire. The average working time 72.7 hours/week before decreased 65.6 during (p < 0.001). operating room significantly pandemic, but emergency centre and outpatient clinic. education times for lecture clinical case...
Due to recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), language model applications can generate logical text output that is difficult distinguish from human writing. ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Bard (subsequently rebranded as "Gemini"; Google AI) were developed using distinct approaches, but little has been studied about the difference their capability abstract. The use of AI write scientific abstracts field spine surgery center much debate controversy.
Introduction: Spine deformities, including degenerative spondylolisthesis and scoliosis, are caused by several factors such as intervertebral disk degeneration facet joint arthrosis, leading to spinal instability. Degenerative of the thoracic spine is less common because stabilizing properties rib cage joints in anterior-posterior position. Methods: A 70-year-old female patient reported back pain left lower extremity weakness. The patient's premorbid ambulation status was wheelchair-bound...
A retrospective comparative study.To evaluate the shoulder balance resulting from correction of double thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) comparing rod derotation (RD) with direct vertebral rotation (DVR) and RD only after pedicle screw instrumentations.This is first report on effect DVR using segmental instrumentation in treatment AIS minimum 5-year follow-up.Patients (n = 57) were treated by fusing both curves (n=35), or (n=22) methods retrospectively studied a 5 years...
Study Design. A retrospective comparative study. Objective. The aim of this study was to analyze the exact distal fusion level in treatment major thoracolumbar and lumbar (TL/L) adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) using rod derotation (RD) direct vertebral rotation (DVR) following pedicle screw instrumentation (PSI). Summary Background Data. Proper determination is a very important factor deformity correction preservation motion segments TL/L AIS. Methods. AIS patients with curves (n = 64)...
Study Design. A retrospective cohort study. Objective. To evaluate the clinical and radiological efficacies of supplementing minimally invasive lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) with open posterior spinal (PSF) in adult deformity (ASD). Summary Background Data. Minimally techniques have been increasingly applied for surgery ASD. Few reports published that directly compare LLIF combined PSF to conventional Methods. advantages ASD, patients who underwent followed by (combined group) were...
The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to perform a previous studies on minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (MISS) in adolescents with idiopathic (AIS). Some data MISS AIS compared conventional open (COSS) are conflicting. A literature search was conducted Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, including reporting outcomes for AIS. the operative, radiological, clinical complications between COSS patients Of 208 records identified, 15 nonrandomized 1,369 (reviews case reports...
OBJECTIVE There have been no reports on the long-term radiographic outcomes of posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) in patients with congenital scoliosis. The purpose this study was to evaluate surgical and complications after PVCR its effects correcting deformity children METHODS authors retrospectively analyzed medical records 45 scoliosis who were younger than 18 years at time surgery underwent fusion pedicle screw fixation (PSF). mean age 11.3 (range 2.4-18.0 years), length...
Abstract During lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), unintended intraoperative endplate injury (IEPI) can occur and thereafter lead cage subsidence. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence IEPI during LLIF, its predisposing factors. A retrospective review conducted on consecutive patients (n = 186; mean age, 70.0 ± 7.6 years) who underwent LLIF at 372 levels. Patient’s demographic surgical data were compared between with without IEPI. Also, radiographic each level intact...
Postmenopausal osteoporosis arises from imbalanced osteoclast and osteoblast activity, mounting evidence suggests a role for the osteoimmune system in bone homeostasis. Bisphosphonate (BP) is an antiresorptive agent, but its treatment failure rate can be as high 40%. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on peripheral immune cells carefully selected postmenopausal women: non-osteoporotic, improved after BP treatment, BP-failed cases. We found increase myeloid patients with...
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study. Objective: To evaluate the mid-term effect of intervertebral disc degeneration (DD) in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who underwent pedicle screw instrumentation (PSI) and rod derotation (RD) direct vertebral rotation (DVR). Summary Background Data: Posterior spinal fusion is a mainstay surgical treatment AIS, DVR considered main corrective maneuver for rotation. However, DD after still unknown AIS. Methods: total 336 vertebrae...
