Purpose: To evaluate utilization trends in percutaneous embolization among radiologists and nonradiologist providers.
Materials And Methods: The nationwide Medicare Part B fee-for-service databases for 2005-2016 were used to evaluate percutaneous embolization codes. Six codes describing embolization procedures were reviewed.
Background: Improving the comprehension and communication of patient education materials could augment patient participation in shared clinical decision making. Inadequate healthcare-oriented educational resources for patients with a newly diagnosed complex disease, such as a cerebral aneurysm, can lead to an insufficient understanding of their ailment. As such, we hypothesized that a PowerPoint-style educational intervention with grade-conscious (i.

Background: "Stand-alone" fusion implants attempt to alleviate the need for supplemental posterior instrumentation.
Objective: A biomechanical study was conducted to assess the stability of an integrated 3- screw interbody cage with, and without, supplemental posterior fixation.
Methods: Nondestructive biomechanical testing was performed on 19 healthy cadaver spine segments.
