Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and proximal failure (PJF) can be catastrophic complications associated with adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. These are markedly influenced by osteoporosis, leading to additional vertebral fracture pedicle screw loosening. The MRI-based bone quality score (VBQ) is a newly developed tool that used assess quality.To investigate the utility of VBQ in predicting PJK and/or PJF (PJF/PJK) after ASD correction.We conducted retrospective chart review identify...
Surgeons can preoperatively assess bone quality using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or computed tomography; however, this is not feasible for all patients. Recently, a MRI-based scoring system was used to evaluate the lumbar spine's vertebral quality.To create similar cervical spine (C-VBQ), correlate C-VBQ scores with tomography-Hounsfield units (HU), and utility of independently predict cage subsidence after single-level anterior diskectomy fusion (ACDF).Demographic, procedure-related,...
BACKGROUND: Demographics and vascular anatomy may play an important role in predicting periprocedural complications symptomatic patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS). OBJECTIVE: To predict factors associated with increased risk of CAS to devise a scoring system that predicts such this patient population. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted included who underwent for stenosis during 3-year period. anatomic characteristics were subsequently correlated 30-day outcome...
Lateral lumbar interbody fusion has inherent limitations, such as the necessity to reposition patient. To overcome this limitation, prone transpsoas (PTP) approach for lateral been developed.To report clinical and radiographic outcome measures of a series patients who underwent PTP at our hospital.A retrospective chart review was conducted identify degenerative spine disease between September 2019 August 2021. A thorough analysis these conducted.Our search resulted in identification 15...
OBJECTIVE Cavernous hemangiomas are benign congenital vascular abnormalities. Intracerebral cavernous have an appreciable risk of spontaneous hemorrhage. Little is known as to whether head trauma increases the bleeding for these lesions. In this study, authors present a case series 3 patients with posttraumatic nonspontaneous hemorrhage intracerebral malformations (CMs). For first time, authors' knowledge, they propose that might constitute factor acute in cavernomas. METHODS The reviewed...
Abstract Background We analyzed clinical and radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing anterior lumbar interbody fusions (ALIFs) using a new biomimetic titanium fusion cage (Titan nanoLOCK interbody, Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States). This specialized employs precise nanotechnology to stimulate inherent biochemical cellular osteogenic reactions the implant, aiming amplify rate of fusion. To our knowledge, this is only study assess early results ALIFs. Methods conducted...
Robot-assisted pedicle screw insertion has been slowly gaining popularity in the spine surgery community. In previous studies, robotics shown to increase accuracy and reduce complication rates compared other navigation technologies, although those studies have conducted using traditional trajectories for insertion. We present a surgical video which system (Mazor X; Mazor Robotics Ltd, Caesarea, Israel) was used create cortical bone of screws. The patient this case is 52-yr-old woman with...
To date, the etiology of optic nerve sheath calcifications is unclear and visual loss secondary to has been reported infrequently. We report case a patient with an untreated parathyroid adenoma longstanding elevated parathormone levels hypercalcemia. This presented atrophy bilaterally (right worse than left) associated exuberant calcification sheaths choroid plexus. Our demonstrates that metastatic can occur in setting hyperparathyroidism Patients who present calcification, or without loss,...
Open neural tube defects are complex congenital abnormalities of the nervous system in which tissue is exposed on patient’s back at time delivery. These malformations require surgical correction, and although replacement placode internally fairly standard, providing skin closure can be very challenging especially large defects. An abdominal reapproximation anchor (ABRA) device may value attaining these large, open myelomeningocele primary cannot accomplished surgically. In a study period...
