To validate the AO Spine Subaxial Injury Classification System with participants of various experience levels, subspecialties, and geographic regions.A live webinar was organized in 2020 for validation System. The consisted 41 unique subaxial cervical spine injuries associated computed tomography scans key images. Intraobserver reproducibility interobserver reliability were calculated injury morphology, subtype, facet injury. classification system categorized as slight (ƙ = 0-0.20), fair...
Background: Supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children are frequently managed by closed reduction and percutaneous pinning. Insertion medial lateral pins is more stable than pinning alone, but carries an increased risk for ulnar nerve damage. This study describes use electrical stimulation concurrent with pin insertion as a monitoring technique avoiding iatrogenic injury. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 138 children, mean age 5.6 years (SD±2.5), who were admitted to...
Abstract Introduction Fractures in the ankylotic spine may have an insidious presentation but are prone to displace with devastating consequences. The long lever arm of ankylosed fragments lead pulmonary and great vessel injury is difficult adequately immobilize. Conservative treatment will produce many cases poor outcomes high morbidity mortality. Open surgical also fraught technical difficulties can major blood loss prolonged operative times. In recent years, percutaneous instrumentation...
Background: Controversy still exists regarding the optimal method for post-operative skin closure in orthopedic surgery. In total knee replacement, with metal staples is faster but carries a higher surgical site infection (SSI) risk. Other studies have found differing results foot and ankle hip Very little evidence on this subject after spine The aim of study was to determine whether incision open posterior surgery different rate SSI when using nylon sutures compared staples. Methods: Up...
Cerebro-spinal fluid leakage from a spinal stab wound is rare, and usually not life-threatening injury. Pneumocephalus, possible rare complication of traumatic cerebro-spinal leakage, can potentially lead to intracranial hemorrhage death. We describe two cases wounds complicated by one them developing into severe pneumocephalus. Both patients recovered completely with the following treatment protocol: (a) trendelenburg positioning patient, (b) insertion continuous-drainage catheter lumbar...
Abstract Background Accommodating a patient’s treatment preference has been reported to promote greater responsiveness and better clinical outcomes. The effect of administration route (ARP) on the individual analgesic response not extensively examined date. This study aimed investigate whether ARP-matched treatment, i.e., individualized intramuscular (IM) or oral (PO) according patient choice, would increase effect. Methods In this prospective randomized study, we collected 38 patients with...
Background Pyogenic spondylodiscitis is diagnosed in recent years at higher rates due to the aging population, increased survival of chronic and immune suppressed patients, rate invasive procedures leading bacterial seeding or direct contamination disc space. Treatment guidelines encourage sampling before initiation antibiotic therapy, drainage pus collections. We present our experience with percutaneous CT-guided drain insertion into space itself as a one-step procedure for both culturing...
Abstract Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the role of bone scintigraphy (BS) in identifying and assessing age vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). Methods: A total 190 patients with VCFs, eligible for augmentation surgery, underwent computed tomography (CT) BS. The CT scintigraphic patterns 2966 vertebrae were compared. Results: BS findings concordant majority cases (95.5%), including 84.4% normal vertebrae, 6.4% acute 4.7% chronic VCFs. However, 37 patients, 45 occult VCFs only...
Background: Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are prevalent in the elderly population and might be source of back pain if they fresh yet unhealed. In many cases, it is a diagnostic challenge to differentiate VCFs from healed united fractures, which retain similar radiographic characteristics but no longer generate pain. This information crucial for appropriate management. The aim this study was evaluate role bone scintigraphy (BS) identifying targeted treatment when compared findings...
Pathologic fractures due to disseminated metastases are common and often involve major long bones, where the metastasis is responsible for wide bone erosion that equivalent loss. Stabilization of these necessitates tumor excision reconstruction destructive metastatic process.Massive allografts were used either as intercalary or "composite" grafts (allografts regular prostheses) in 17 patients.Fourteen patients could ambulate independently after surgery, nursing remaining three became...
The natural history of lumbar disc herniation with radiculopathy is favorable, 95% patients expected to be pain-free within 6 months onset. Despite the favorable prognosis, operative treatment often chosen by unable "ride out" radicular episode. Prospective studies comparing surgical non-surgical have demonstrated similar long-term results. We conducted a retrospective case-series study and intractable pain without significant neurological deficits treated intra-venous dexamethasone. primary...

The effect of administration-route-preference (ARP) on the individual analgesic response not extensively examined date. This study aimed explore whether ARP-matched i.e. individualized intramuscular (IM) or oral (PO) administration according patient choice, would increase effect. Methods 38 patients with acute-low-back-pain (aLBP) presenting at...
Current spine postoperative pain control protocols consider the expected following fusion surgery to correlate with surgical extent, that is, greater number of operated vertebrae, pain. Due this assumption, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) are principally applied minimally invasive and percutaneous less open extensive operations. The aim study was determine whether does in fact potentially opening door non-narcotic for patient subset.Forty consecutive patients, undergoing posterior...
