Changing from standing to sitting positions requires rotation of the femur an almost vertical plane horizontal plane. Osteoarthritis hip limits extension, resulting in less ability recruit spinopelvic tilt (SPT) while and requiring increased SPT compensate for loss range motion. To date, effect total arthroplasty (THA) on mechanics has not been reported, particularly setting patients with coexistent sagittal spinal deformity. A retrospective review was performed ≥18 years age undergoing...
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.
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...
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...
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....
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to reliably predict sagittal and coronal spinal alignment with clinical photographs by using markers placed at easily localized anatomical landmarks. METHODS A consecutive series patients adult deformity were enrolled from a single center. Full-length standing radiographs obtained the baseline visit. Clinical taken reflective overlying C2, S1, greater trochanter, each posterior-superior iliac spine. Sagittal radiographic parameters C2 pelvic angle (CPA),...
The objective of this study was to explore the rate proximal junctional failure (PJF) and functional outcomes normative alignment goals compared with targets based on age-appropriate physical function. Baseline relationships between age, pelvic incidence (PI), a component T1 angle (TPA) within fusion were analyzed in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients those asymptomatic patients. Linear regression modeling used determine PI age (normative alignment), ASD patients, corresponding status...
Study Design Single-center retrospective cohort study Objectives To evaluate inpatient MME administration associated with different lumbar spinal fusion surgeries Methods Patients ≥18 years of age a diagnosis Grade I or II spondylolisthesis, stenosis, degenerative disc disease pars defect who underwent one-level Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) Anterior (ALIF) Lateral (LLIF) through traditional MIS, anterior-posterior position single approaches between L2-S1. Outcome measures...
INTRODUCTION: There may be early complications with robot-guided lumbar fusions (RGLF). This study determines risk factors for robot-related and suggests optimal OR workflow. METHODS: Single-institution retrospective review of 525 RGLFs. Univariate analysis (independent samples t-tests, chi-squared analysis) assessed demographics, Hounsfield units (HU), procedural characteristics, workflow as robot registration failures pedicle screw malpositioning. Multivariate logistic regression...
A retrospective review of operative patients at a single institution.The aim was to validate novel method detecting pseudarthrosis on dynamic radiographs.A common complication after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion is pseudarthrosis. previously published for identifies 1 mm difference in interspinous motion (ISM), which requires calibration images relies anatomic landmarks difficult visualize. An alternative use angles between spinous processes, does not require more visible...
