Broad narrative review.To review and summarize the current literature on guidelines, outcomes, techniques indications surrounding multiple modalities of minimizing blood loss in spine surgery.A thorough peer-reviewed was performed techniques, for surgery.There is a large body that provides consensus guidelines regarding appropriate timing discontinuation anticoagulation, aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), herbal supplements prior to surgery. Additionally, there more...
Background: Digital patient engagement platforms are designed to improve the efficacy of perioperative surgical home, but currently available solutions have shown low and provider adoption. The purpose this study was evaluate effectiveness a text-messaging (Short Message Service [SMS]) bot with respect following joint replacement procedures in randomized clinical trial. Methods: One hundred fifty-nine patients (83 control group 76 intervention group) were enrolled controlled trial comparing...
Background: Hallux valgus is a common cause of pain and dysfunction the foot, sometimes requiring surgical correction when conservative measures fail. Although there are many methods correction, one newer techniques minimally invasive chevron-Akin (MICA). The aim current study to evaluate clinical radiographic effectiveness MICA narcotic use in large patient cohort. Methods: All patients this retrospective were treated by single fellowship-trained foot ankle orthopaedic surgeon. Patient...
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to discern whether patients who achieve a cranial sagittal vertical axis the hip (CrSVA-H) < 2 cm at years follow-up, regardless mismatch between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis (PI-LL), have greater improvement in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). METHODS This retrospective analysis prospectively collected single-center database adult spinal deformity (ASD) underwent corrective surgery with minimum follow-up years. Patient...
Developments in machine learning recent years have precipitated a surge research on the applications of artificial intelligence within medicine. Machine algorithms are beginning to impact medicine broadly, and field spine surgery is no exception. Electronic medical records key source data that can be leveraged for creation clinically valuable algorithms. This review examines current state using electronic as it applies surgery. Studies across record domains imaging, text, structured...
Invited narrative review.The aim of this review was to summarize current literature regarding risk factors that surgeons can optimize in the preoperative setting spinal surgery patient, order reduce complications and improve patient-reported outcomes.Review relevant by authors.Modifiable identified relative patient include obesity, malnutrition/nutrient deficiency, diabetes/hyperglycemia, anemia, vitamin D/DEXA (dual-energy radiograph absorptiometry), nicotine use/smoking, opioid...
Retrospective cohort study.Chronic steroid therapy is used in the treatment of various inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, but it known to be associated with adverse effects. There remains a gap literature regarding role chronic predisposing patients perioperative complications following elective posterior lumbar fusion (PLF). We aimed identify effects preoperative on 30-day undergoing PLF.A retrospective analysis was performed using 2011-2014 American College Surgeons National Surgical...
Pediatric pelvic fractures are associated with high-energy trauma and injury to other systems, leading an increased incidence of complication mortality. Previous studies analyzed the pediatric population as a whole, including both children adolescents. The purpose this study was examine whether adolescents fracture have different mortality rates compared younger adults.Using National Trauma Data Bank, 37,784 patients below age 55 years were identified divided into (age <13 years), 13-17...
Appropriate timing of definitive fracture care in the setting polytrauma remains controversial. The aim this study is to determine whether fixation femur fractures impacts subsequent length hospital stay, a surrogate for postoperative morbidity, patients with multi-system trauma.Secondary analysis data from National Trauma Data Bank (January 1, 2000 December 31, 2004) was performed. Adult who: (1) had an open or closed femoral shaft fracture, (2) injury severity score (ISS) greater than...
Spinal fusion surgery is being increasingly performed, yet few studies have focused on return to recreational sports after lumbar and none specifically analyzed golf.Most golfers successfully sport surgery.Case series.Level 4.All patients who underwent 1- or 2-level primary for degenerative pathologies performed by a single surgeon between January 2008 October 2012 had at least 1-year follow-up were included. Patients completed designed golf survey. Surveys mailed, given during clinic,...
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to discern whether patients with a cranial sagittal vertical axis the hip (CrSVA-H) > 2 cm at years postoperatively exhibit significantly worse patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and clinical compared CrSVA-H < cm. METHODS This retrospective, 1:1 propensity score–matched (PSM) who underwent posterior spinal fusion for adult deformity. All had baseline imbalance 30 mm. Two-year were assessed in unmatched PSM cohorts, including Scoliosis Research...
Study Design Retrospective Matched Cohort. Objective Despite known consequences to the facet joints following lumbar total disc replacement (TDR), there is limited data on injection usage for persistent postoperative pain. This study uses real-world compare of therapeutic injections as a measure symptomatic arthrosis single-level, stand-alone TDR vs anterolateral interbody fusion (ALIF/LLIF). Methods The PearlDiver database was queried patients (2010-2021) with degenerative disease who...
This was a retrospective cohort study.Identify the independent risk factors for 30- and 90-day readmission because of surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing elective posterior lumbar fusion (PLF).SSI is significant cause morbidity windows after hospital discharge. There remains gap literature on SSI PLF procedures. In addition, spine surgery beyond 30-day postoperative period has not been well studied.A analysis performed data from 2012 to 2014 Healthcare Cost Utilization...
Background: The gold standard for percutaneous pedicle screw placement is 2-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopy. Data are sparse on the accuracy of 3-dimensional (3D) navigation in minimally invasive spine procedures. Objective: We sought to compare a single surgeon’s using 2D fluoroscopy versus 3D navigation, as well investigate effect facet orientation violation when Methods: conducted retrospective radiographic study consecutive cohort patients who underwent lumbar instrumentation either or...
Injuries to the spine in a young athlete can be devastating. They also very challenging diagnose due anatomical and radiologic differences between adult pediatric spine. A thorough history full physical examination is of utmost importance for evaluating any injury. This allows an understanding possible injuries prior advanced imaging. Most will require at least standard set radiographs, but many injury patterns further MRI preferred imaging modality population over CT scan lack ionizing...
