PURPOSE: The incidence of osteoporotic compression fractures (VCFs) have been rising over the past decades. Presently, vertebral cement augmentation procedures such as balloon kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are common treatments allowing pain relief and functional recovery. However, there is controversy on whether different timeframes for cement augmentation affects clinical outcomes. Hence, this study aimed to compare pain relief and complication rates between early versus late cement augmentation...

INTRODUCTION: Within advances in minimally invasive spine surgery, the implementation of lateral single position (LSP) increases efficiency while limiting complications, avoiding intraoperative repositioning and diminishing surgical time. Most literature describes one-level instrumentation of the lumbar spine; this study includes the use of LSP for multilevel degenerative disease. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the article is to analyze initial clinical results and complications in the use of LSP for multiple level instrumentation in adults with lumbar degenerative disease...

PURPOSE: The Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) is a frailty-identifying metric developed using ICD-10-CM codes. While other studies have examined frailty in adult spinal deformity (ASD), the HFRS has not been assessed in this population. The aim of this study was to utilize the HFRS to investigate the impact of frailty on outcomes in ASD patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF). METHODS: A retrospective study was performed using the 2016-2019 National Inpatient Sample database...

PURPOSE: Adolescent idiopoathic scoliosis (AIS) is a progressive spinal deformity, most often observed in female patients of pubescent age. The deformity's severity, its progression through time, its treatment and subsequent follow-up are assessed with routine radiological evaluation of the patient's full spine. This study aimed to determine the cumulative radiation exposure in average patients with AIS treated by brace or surgery throughout their treatment. METHODS: The average number of imaging procedures and corresponding radiation doses were retrospectively obtained from the medical charts of AIS patients treated conservatively and/or surgically at our institution...

PURPOSE: To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model for detecting lumbar degenerative disease in both sagittal and axial views of T2-weighted MRI and evaluate its generalized performance in detecting cervical degenerative disease. METHODS: T2-weighted MRI scans of 804 patients with symptoms of lumbar degenerative disease were retrospectively collected from three hospitals. The training dataset (n = 456) and internal validation dataset (n = 134) were randomly selected from the center I...

PURPOSE: Spinal metastasis surgeries carry substantial risk of complications. PRF is among complications that significantly increase mortality rate and length of hospital stay. The risk factor of PRF after spinal metastasis surgery has not been investigated. This study aims to identify the predictors of postoperative respiratory failure (PRF) and in-hospital death after spinal metastasis surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients with spinal metastasis surgically treated between 2008 and 2018...

PURPOSE: Pan Lumbar Arthodesis (PLA) are often required for Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) correction, reducing significantly the compensatory capacity in case of postoperative sagittal malalignment. Few papers have investigated outcomes and complications in this vulnerable subset of patients. The objective of this study was to assess revision surgery rate for PLA in ASD, its risk factors and impact on clinical outcomes. METHODS: Retrospective multicenter review of prospective ASD data from 7 hospitals covering Europe and Asia...

BACKGROUND: Delayed trunk and lower limb muscle activation is associated with balance loss and fall injuries in subjects with recurrent low back pain (LBP). PURPOSE: This study was conducted to compare differences in the onset of muscle contractions of the trunk and lower limb muscles following a treadmill-induced step perturbation between subjects with and without LBP. METHODS: Eighty-three right limb dominant individuals (43 subjects with LBP and 40 control subjects) were exposed to the perturbation (0...

PURPOSE: Different techniques have been previously described to close the pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) site for correction of sagittal malalignment; the use of a side-to-side domino connector as a correction tool in the thoracic spine has not been specifically studied. METHODS: Twenty adult patients who underwent single-level thoracic PSO from T1 to T12 were included and retrospectively reviewed (two centers). Preoperative and postoperative full-body X-rays, perioperative data, clinical data and complications were recorded with a minimum 2 years of follow-up...

OBJECTIVE: Previous research has shown that many patients with musculoskeletal diseases suffer from sleep disturbances. However, the sleep quality of patients with cervical radiculopathy (CR) has yet to be fully investigated. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and status of sleep disturbances in patients with CR and identify the mechanisms and risk factors associated with this condition.

PURPOSE: To develop ligamentous vertebral stabilization techniques ("vertebropexy") that can be used after microsurgical decompression (intact posterior structures) and midline decompression (removed posterior structures) and to elaborate their biomechanical characteristics. METHODS: Fifteen spinal segments were biomechanically tested in a stepwise surgical decompression and ligamentous stabilization study. Stabilization was achieved with a gracilis or semitendinosus tendon allograft, which was attached to the spinous process (interspinous vertebropexy) or the laminae (interlaminar vertebropexy) in form of a loop...

METHODS: Prospectively collected data from ACD patients undergoing posterior or anterior-posterior reconstruction at 13 US sites was reviewed up to 2-years postoperatively (n = 140). Data was stratified into five groups by level of LIV: C6-C7, T1-T2, T3-Apex, Apex-T10, and T11-L2. DJK was defined as a kyphotic increase > 10° in Cobb angle from LIV to LIV-1...
