Article Synopsis
- Posterior ring apophyseal fracture (PRAF) is a rare injury in teens that can cause lower back pain and nerve issues, often due to sports or trauma.
- A case study highlights a 13-year-old girl with PRAF and lumbar disc herniation after a sports injury, showcasing the diagnostic and surgical challenges.
- She underwent a minimally invasive surgery and showed significant improvement in pain levels one month later, emphasizing the importance of proper imaging and treatment for similar injuries in adolescents.
Article Synopsis
- Ankle fractures involving the posterior malleolus can significantly impair function, leading to ongoing debate over the best surgical approach: the traditional posteromedial (PM) or the newer posterolateral (PL) technique.
- A study conducted with 42 patients randomly assigned to either the PL or PM approach showed that those in the PL group had better early clinical outcomes and fewer complications, as measured by AOFAS scores and range of motion.
- While the PL approach yielded superior results at six and twelve months, the long-term differences between the two groups were not statistically significant at the final follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- * The patient experienced significant neck and upper limb pain for a year, with imaging showing issues like disc dehydration and foraminal disc protrusion.
- * Post-surgery, the patient reported substantial pain relief and improved scores on pain assessments, demonstrating UBE’s effectiveness with fewer complications and better preservation of spinal stability.
Article Synopsis
- * It was conducted on 30 patients at Dr. D.Y. Patil Hospital between December 2021 and January 2023, with follow-ups at six months and one year post-surgery.
- * Results showed that meniscus repair improved knee stability compared to meniscectomy, which led to greater femoral tunnel widening and potential issues with graft integration; however, both outcomes were statistically insignificant (p>0.05).
Objective: The ever-growing number of articles related to full-endoscopic spine surgery published in the last few decades presents a challenge which is perplexing and time-consuming in identifying the current research status. The study aims to identify and analyze the most cited works related to full-endoscopic decompression spine surgery, compare the articles published by different publishers and area, and show the current publication status of full-endoscopic research.
Methods: Using Bibliometrix, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer, we analyzed the bibliometric data selected from the Web of Science database between 1992 and 2022.
Background A midshaft clavicle fracture is a prevalent form of injury of the upper extremity that affects one's quality of life. Several treatment modalities facilitate fixation of the displaced midshaft clavicle to decrease nonunion and malunion of the clavicle fracture. Still, numerous factors influence choosing an optimal surgical intervention.

The first attempts at percutaneous discectomy by Kambin and Hijikata opened a new chapter of endoscopic spine surgery. By the last quarter of the twentieth century, spine surgeons had begun to adopt this novel technique.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLumbar disc herniation (LDH) comprises one of the most common causes of low back pain. 35%-72% of LDH is associated with disc fragment migration. The migration of the disc fragments can be high-grade up, low-grade up, high-grade down, and low-grade down.

Epidural catheter injections are also widely used by pain physicians to control cancer pain. Epidural catheters could be associated with procedure-related complications, such as epidural hematoma, epidural abscess, and post-dural puncture headache, and rare complications, such as shearing or breakage of the catheter tip.

J Craniovertebr Junction Spine
January 2020
Background: The aim of this article was to verify the utility of nasogastric (NG) tube in primary anterior cervical surgeries. Palpating and identifying the NG tube introduced during induction is one of the ways of preventing esophageal injuries during surgery. It may also be used as a conduit for postoperative feeding.
