Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Objective: To evaluate for areas of consensus and divergence of opinion within the spine community regarding the management of cervical spondylotic conditions and acute traumatic central cord syndrome (ATCCS) and the influence of the patient's age, disease severity, and myelomalacia.
Summary Of Background Data: There is ongoing disagreement regarding the indications for, and urgency of, operative intervention in patients with mild degenerative myelopathy, moderate to severe radiculopathy, isolated axial symptomatology with evidence of spinal cord compression, and ATCCS without myelomalacia.
Current concepts in periodontology emphasize the interproximal attachment as an important distinguishing aspect with significant influence, making it a key diagnostic and prognostic factor. Complete regeneration of the interproximal clinical attachment has become a primary determinant of periodontal success. Since the mid-20th century, numerous articles have been published on root coverage procedures, mostly for nonproximal gingival recessions.

The aim of this clinical report is to describe a surgical technique to promote gingival margin stability in the treatment of infrabony defects at sites with a thin or medium gingival phenotype. A coronally advanced entire papilla preservation (CA-EPP) flap with a connective tissue graft (CTG) was executed in two different clinical cases.

Objective: The present study is the first to assess the impact of paraspinal sarcopenia on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following cervical laminoplasty.
Background: While the impact of sarcopenia on PROMs following lumbar spine surgery is well-established, the impact of sarcopenia on PROMs following laminoplasty has not been investigated.
