Review of current literature and authors experience.Pre-operative planning is an integral part complex spine surgery. With the advent computer-assisted planning, multiple surgical plans can be evaluated utilizing alignment parameters, best plan for individual patients selected. However, ability to evaluate measure correction goals intraoperatively are still limited. The use patient-specific UNiD rods, created based on pre-operative plans, provided initial tool implementation in operative...
For patients undergoing long-construct fusion surgeries, simultaneous sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is a growing trend in spine surgery. Some options for posterior SIJ include 3D-printed triangular titanium implants or self-harvesting screws. Both require fixation within the sacrum and ileum. Fat embolism syndrome rare but known complication of lumbar pedicle instrumentation has never been reported association with fusion, regardless implant type. We report first two cases fat associated placement...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Background:</h3> Recent studies support the need for sagittal alignment restoration when performing lumbar degenerative spinal fusions. The development of patient-specific spine rods (PSSRs) may help maintain or improve in these surgeries. <h3>Methods:</h3> A retrospective review was conducted patients who underwent posterior surgeries involving 4 less levels. preplanned PSSR radii curvature (ROC) compared with standard prebent a ROC 125 mm. All were performed at single...
Adult spinal deformity surgery requires use of long thoracolumbar instrumentation, which is associated with risk postoperative proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK). Tethering has been used in but not around the spinous process (SP) context preventing PJK.Researchers applied a nondestructive hybrid loading protocol to 7 T8-L2 cadaveric specimens flexion-extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation (AR). A rigid construct (pedicle screws rods) 1- 2-level SP constructs were tested, as was...

As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reached pandemic status, in-person orthopedic clinics across the United States were forced to close as many states adopted stay-at-home orders. Previously, use of telemedicine in practices was minimal for a variety reasons, one being inability perform physical examination specialty reliant on direct patient contact diagnosis and treatment. A prospective cohort 52 patients consented participate novel virtual protocol during routine visits at large,...
What is overlooked in clinical studies are the possibilities of manufacturing and design aspects instrumentation that could initiate rod fracture. Although revision because hardware fracture a small fraction overall rates (12.1% to 13.7%), there sufficient numbers cases where removed can undergo thorough metallurgic analysis. This study unique characteristics, such as alloy, surface markings, type, seen at surfaces considered analysis.This work was conducted under both retrospective...
