BACKGROUND Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of adult spinal cord dysfunction. Tourette syndrome (TS) represents a rare DCM that incompletely characterized in literature. Patients with TS might develop repetitive involuntary movements can accelerate spondylotic changes. Therefore, patients secondary to or other tic disorders exhibit symptoms at younger ages. The present study examines surgical management literature and describes outcomes 3 who were treated for...
The upper cervical spine accounts for the largest proportion of range motion afforded by a complex system bony morphology and ligamentous stability. Its unique anatomy, however, also makes it particularly vulnerable during both low high energy trauma. Trauma to this area, referred as trauma, can disrupt stability result in wide spectrum injury. Numerous injury classification systems have been proposed, each which distinct limitations drawbacks that prevented their universal adoption. In...
Retrospective Cohort Study.To determine if decreased preoperative symptom duration is associated with greater clinical improvement in function and myelopathic symptoms after posterior cervical decompression fusion (PCDF).All patients over age 18 who underwent primary PCDF for myelopathy or myeloradiculopathy at a single institution between 2014 2020 were retrospectively identified. Patient demographics, surgical characteristics, of symptoms, postoperative patient reported outcomes measures...
The aims of this study were to 1) define the incidence transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) subsidence; 2) determine relative importance preoperative and intraoperative patient- instrumentation-specific risk factors predictive postoperative subsidence using CT-based assessment; 3) impact TLIF on complications rates.
Introduction: The movement toward reducing healthcare expenditures has led to an increased volume of outpatient anterior cervical diskectomy and fusions (ACDFs). Appropriateness for surgery can be gauged based on the duration recovery each patient will likely need. Methods: Patients undergoing 1- or 2-level ACDFs were retrospectively identified at a single Level I spine referral institution. Length stay (LOS) was categorized binarily as either less than two midnights more midnights. data...
Retrospective cohort study.
Retrospective cohort study.The aim of this study is to determine if there a correlation between the amount facet distraction and postoperative patient-reported outcomes after ACDF.A retrospective analysis patients undergoing 1 3 level ACDF for degenerative pathologies at single academic center was performed. Each patient received upright, lateral cervical spine x-rays immediate time point from which interfacet distance (facet distraction) measured. Patient-reported outcome measures including...
This is a retrospective cohort study.The aim was to evaluate differences in readmission rates, number of debridements, and length antibiotic therapy when comparing bacterial gram type following lumbar spinal fusion infections.Surgical site infections (SSIs) after serve as significant source patient morbidity. It remains be elucidated how classification the infecting organism affects management postoperative SSI.Patients who underwent with subsequent diagnosis SSI between 2013 2019 were...
Iatrogenic aortic injury from pedicle screw malpositioning or anterior prominence in posterior spinal fusion represents a rare but potentially devasting complication. While intraoperative is associated with hemodynamic instability, delayed presentations of impingement violation often present insidiously pseudoaneurysm vascular remodeling clinically asymptomatic patients. Currently, there lack guidance the field for recommended surveillance, urgency operative intervention, and optimal...
Retrospective cohort study.To determine whether preoperative clinical and radiographic degenerative spondylolisthesis (CARDS) classification is associated with differences in patient-reported outcomes spinopelvic parameters after posterior decompression fusion for L4-L5 (DS).The CARDS lumbar DS, an alternative to the Meyerding system, considers additional findings such as disc space collapse segmental kyphosis stratifies DS into 4 radiographically distinct classes. Although has been shown be...
Investigations in spine surgery have demonstrated that trainee involvement correlates with increased surgical time, readmissions, and revision surgeries; however, the specific effects of fellow remain unelucidated. This study aims to investigate isolated effect on timing patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) after evaluate how differ by experience.All patients aged 18 years or older who underwent primary decompression fusion for degenerative diseases and/or spinal deformity between 2017...
Study Design. Basic Science. Objective. The objective of this study was to identify a unique serum profile circulating miRNAs and inflammatory markers in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) compared healthy controls (HC). Summary Background Data. Currently, DCM is diagnosed combination history, physical examination, close correlation advanced imaging. To date, no marker has been identified be diagnostic condition. Methods. Whole venous blood collected from as well...
