Moderate sagittal plane deformity patients have similar radiographic and functional outcomes with either anterior or posterior surgery.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the functional and radiographic outcomes of two surgical interventions for adult spinal deformity (ASD): anterior lumbar interbody fusion with anterior column realignment (ALIF-ACR) and posterior approach using Smith-Peterson osteotomy with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and pedicle screw fixation (TLIF-Schwab2).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study included 61 ASD patients treated surgically between 2019 and 2020 at a single tertiary orthopedic specialty hospital. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (ALIF-ACR, 29 patients) and Group 2 (TLIF-Schwab2, 32 patients).

[Possible routes of infection in hip replacement].

Objective: To evaluate the probability of direct inoculation of pathogens into the bone bed by surgical instruments and implants.

Material And Methods: The study included 22 patients who underwent surgery at the Vreden National Medical Research Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics. Mean age was 73.

Cross-cultural adaptation, reliability, and validity of the Russian version of the Spine Oncology Study Group Outcomes Questionnaire (SOSGOQ2.0).

Objective: The most validated health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) questionnaire specific to the metastatic spine cancer population is the Spine Oncology Study Group Outcomes Questionnaire version 2 (SOSGOQ2.0). The purpose of this study was to translate and validate a Russian version of the SOSGOQ2.

Measurement of Direct-Photon Cross Section and Double-Helicity Asymmetry at sqrt[s]=510 GeV in p[over →]+p[over →] Collisions.

We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry A_{LL} of direct-photon production in p[over →]+p[over →] collisions at sqrt[s]=510  GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity (|η|<0.25) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.
