Retrospective cohort study.Assess trends in sports-related cervical spine trauma using a pediatric inpatient database.Injuries sustained from sports participation may include such as fractures and spinal cord injury (SCI). Large database studies analyzing the population are currently lacking.The Kid Inpatient Database was queried for patients with external causes of secondary to activities 2003 2012. Patients were further grouped (CSI) type, including C1-4 C5-7 fracture with/without (SCI),...
Background Current research is limited in exploring the impact of social determinants health (SDOH) on discharge location within elective spine surgery. Further understanding influence SDOH disposition necessary to improve outcomes. This study explores how for patients undergoing one- or two-level posterior interbody fusion (TLIF/PLIF). Methods was a retrospective propensity-matched cohort study. Patients who underwent TLIF/PLIF between 2017 and 2020 at single academic medical center were...
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2, or BMP for short) is a popular biological product used in spine surgeries to promote fusion and avoid the morbidity associated with iliac crest autograft. BMP's effect on pseudarthrosis transforaminal lumbar interbody (TLIF) remains unknown.
Study Design. Retrospective review. Objective. Identify co-occurring perioperative complications and associated predictors in a population of patients undergoing surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). Summary Background Data. Few studies have investigated the development multiple, following ASD-corrective surgery. Preoperative risk stratification may benefit from identification factors with complications. Methods. Elective ASD National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) 2005 to...
Study Design. Retrospective. Objective. The objective of this study is to describe the rate postoperative morbidity before and after two-year (2Y) follow-up for patients undergoing surgical correction adult spinal deformity (ASD). Summary Background Data. Advances in modern techniques surgery have shown promising short-term clinical results. However, permanence radiographic correction, mechanical complications, revision ASD remains a challenge. Little information exists on incidence...
The current gold standard of scoliosis correction procedures is still posterior spinal fusion, an extensively studied procedure. anterior vertebral body tethering a newer surgical technique for the scoliotic curves. Consequently, best practices have yet to be determined.
Retrospective cohort analysis.The aim of this study was to compare postoperative outcomes Coflex interspinous device versus laminectomy.Coflex Interlaminar Stabilization (CID) is indicated for one- or two-level lumbar stenosis with grade 1 stable spondylolisthesis in adult patients, as an alternative laminectomy, laminectomy and fusion. CID provides stability against progressive spondylolisthesis, retains motion, prevents further disc space collapse.Patients ≥18 years' old who underwent...
Retrospective cohort study. Assess whether modifying spinal alignment goals to accommodate frailty considerations will decrease mechanical complications and maximize clinical outcomes. The Global Alignment Proportion (GAP) score was developed assist in reducing complications, but has had less success predicting such events external validation. Higher many of its components have been linked the development implant failure. Therefore, GAP with may strengthen ability predict complications. We...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association available cervical alignment components through Ames deformity (CD) classification parameters with Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical health domain metrics.Surgical CD patients (C2-C7 Cobb >10° or C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis [cSVA] >4 cm T1 slope minus lordosis (TS-CL) >15°) ≥18 years baseline (BL) radiographic and PROMIS were isolated in a single-center spine database. Patients classified...
A case of supra-patellar bursitis with the formation discharging sinus is described. B abortus was isolated from resected bursal tissue. While osteoarticular complications brucellosis are common and a number different clinical syndromes now recognised, disease bursae rare as far known has not been described before in this setting.
Study Design. Retrospective cohort analysis. Objective. To compare outcomes of plastic versus spine surgeon wound closure in revision 1 to 4 level thoracolumbar fusions. Summary Background Data. Plastic surgeons perform layered musculocutaneous flap closures high-risk patients such as posterior spinal fusion and complex deformity correction surgeries. Few studies have assessed performed with surgical closures, particularly nondeformity surgery. Methods. A retrospective review by Orthopedic...
Retrospective review of a single-center spine database.Investigate the intersections chronological age and physiological via frailty to determine influence surgical invasiveness on patient outcomes.Frailty is well-established factor in preoperative risk stratification prediction postoperative outcomes. The profile operative patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) who present as elderly not frail (NF) has yet be investigated. Our aim was examine outcomes ASD were NF elderly.Patients 18...
Identify the external applicability of American College Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) risk calculator in setting adult spinal deformity (ASD) and subsets patients based on frailty status.ASD were isolated our single-center database analyzed for shared predictive variables displayed NSQIP calculator. Patients stratified by (not frail <0.03, 0.3-0.5, severely >0.5), [T1 pelvic angle (TPA) > 30, incidence minus lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) 20], reoperation status....
Patients with less severe adult spinal deformity (ASD) undergo surgical correction and often achieve good clinical outcomes. However, it is not well understood how much improvement due to sagittal rather than treatment of the spondylotic process.Determine baseline thresholds in radiographic parameters that, when exceeded, may result substantive from correction.Retrospective.ASD patients BL two-year data were included. Parameters assessed: vertical axis, pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis...
