Outcome of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for traumatic thoracic and lumbar fractures -six years experience.

Objectives: This study discusses the experience at our centre with treating traumatic thoracolumbar fractures using percutaneous pedicle screw fixation.

Methods: We reviewed the case notes and imaging retrospectively between January 2013 and June 2019.

Results: A total of 257 patients were included, 123 males and 134 females aged between 17 and 70; the mean age was 47.

Outcome of Surgical Treatment for Metastatic Spinal Cord Compression: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

 The spinal column is one of the most prevalent regions for metastasis, with an increasing frequency of spinal metastases. Spinal cord metastatic tumor damages the vertebral body, weakens the spinal support, and exerts mass effect on the spinal cord. Overzealous surgical intervention does not provide any additional benefit in most of the spinal metastasis due to shorter life expectancy.

Spinal metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with dural invasion and concomitant intradural and extradural components: a case report.

We report the case of a metastatic lung carcinoma that had metastasized to the thoracic extradural space and penetrated the dura, resulting in a combined extra and intradural spinal tumour. To our knowledge this is the first such report of a metastatic lung adenocarcinoma demonstrating direct dural invasion.
