Posterior hinge fixation for the treatment of unstable traumatic sacroiliac joint injuries.

Introduction: Posterior hinge fixation (PHF) is a sacroiliac joint fixation method indicated for the surgical treatment of unstable pelvic ring fractures (tile C).

Hypothesis: PHF yields good functional outcomes based on the Majeed score at more than 1 year of follow-up.

Methods: A single-center, retrospective study of patients who had a Tile C pelvic ring fracture, who were operated by PHF and who were evaluated at a minimum follow-up of 1 year.

Anterior cage migration during spine surgery: An unusual and severe complication.

We report the case of an anterior cage migration that was incarcerated between the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava. Removal of the cage was favored over conservative treatment because of potential migration and vessel injury.

Influence of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion procedures on spinal and pelvic parameters of sagittal balance.

Introduction: Restitution of sagittal balance is important after lumbar fusion, because it improves fusion rate and may reduce the rate of adjacent segment disease. The purpose of the present study was to describe the impact of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) procedures on pelvic and spinal parameters and sagittal balance.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five patients who had single-level TLIF were included in this study.

Intrasacral rod fixation for pediatric long spinal fusion: results of a prospective study with a minimum 5-year follow-up.

Background: Lumbosacral fusion is often needed in cases of pediatric neuromuscular spinal deformities. Despite the numerous fixation techniques described, the procedure remains challenging. Jackson has described a method of intrasacral fixation providing immediate 3-dimensional stability and promising clinical results.

Neurological and functional outcome after unstable cervicothoracic junction injury treated by posterior reduction and synthesis.

Background Context: Unstable lesions of the cervicothoracic junction present a severe clinical problem for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

Purpose: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the neurological and functional outcomes following surgical treatments which combine in all cases posterior reduction and stabilization.

Study Design: Retrospective clinical and radiological study.
