Retrospective cohort.Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) may be complicated by subsidence, which can lead to significant morbidity including pain, disc space collapse, neural compression, segmental kyphosis, instability, and vertebral body fracture. This study sought identify patient procedural risk factors for subsidence in patients undergoing ALIF.This analyzed consecutive who underwent ALIF at a single institution with minimum of 2 years follow-up. Patients were grouped as either...
In spinal oncology, titanium implants pose several challenges including artifact on advanced imaging and therapeutic radiation perturbation. To mitigate these effects, there has been increased interest in radiolucent carbon fiber (CF) CF-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) as an alternative for reconstruction. This study surveyed the members of North American Spine Society (NASS) section Spinal Oncology to query their perspectives regarding clinical utility, current practice patterns,...
Study Design Retrospective cohort Objective Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) commonly involves a transpsoas approach. Despite the association between LLIF, postoperative iliopsoas weakness, and iatrogenic neuropraxia, no study has yet examined effect of psoas or multifidus muscle quality on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Methods This retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent LLIF with 1-year minimum follow-up. Psoas qualities were graded preoperative magnetic resonance imaging...
The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a well-established procedure for the management of symptomatic hip dysplasia. associated Smith-Petersen exposure offers excellent visualization acetabulum and control acetabular mobilization. traditional true pelvis involves iliac wing in order to mobilize sartorial inguinal ligament insertion. However, full spine may necessitate screw fixation if relatively large segment bone included. A known complication with failure back out. Moreover,...
Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion is a surgical treatment option for SIJ pathology in select patients who have failed conservative management. More recently, minimally invasive (MIS) techniques been developed. This study aimed to determine the trends procedure volume and reimbursement rates fusion.Publicly available Medicare databases were assessed using National Summary Data Files 2010 2020. organized according current procedural terminology (CPT) codes.

<h3>Background</h3> Lumbar laminectomy is a surgical procedure allowing for decompression of neural structures. A wide to adequately decompress elements without compromising the structural integrity spinal column ideal. Pars interarticularis fractures with instability after isolated from overresection posterior have been reported. There are limited anatomical studies in spine literature that measure pars distance (PID) and canal width (SCW) lumbar spine. <h3>Objective</h3> The purpose this...
Fused motion segments have been documented to alter the biomechanics of cervical spine and compromise its stability. Current literature describes a growing association between presence prior noninstrumented fused predisposition acute, traumatic instability at adjacent levels. We present case stable fracture pattern in patient with history multilevel anterior fusion-initially presenting as small, nondisplaced unilateral facet that ultimately progressed overt displacement kyphosis resulting...
Detoxification of opioid addiction during the pregnancy has been avoided since 1970 after some reports showed untoward outcome including stillbirth and acute narcotic withdrawal syndrome in neonates.It was recommended at that time to avoid detoxification until more data collected improved monitoring fetal homeostasis became available.Since then methadone used for both maintenance opiate while scant work done find alternative therapies even though technology monitor made alternatives therapy...
Total disc arthroplasty (TDA) has been established as a safe and effective alternative to anterior cervical discectomy fusion for the treatment of spine pathology. However, there remains paucity studies in literature regarding amount height distraction that can be tolerated, well its impact on kinematic clinical outcomes.Patients who underwent 1- or 2-level TDA with minimum follow-up 1 year lateral flexion/extension patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were included. Middle space was...
Study Design Retrospective Cohort Analysis. Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate national rates rhBMP-2 utilization in spinal tumor surgery and examine its association with postoperative complications, revisions, carcinogenicity. Methods All patients diagnosed primary or metastatic tumors subsequent surgical intervention involving a fusion procedure were identified PearlDiver. Patients 1:1 matched into 2 cohorts according usage. Postoperative complications revisions examined...
