The Nottingham radiation protocol for O-arm navigation in paediatric deformity patients: a feasibility study.

Background: O-arm assisted pedicle screw placement has been proven to be more accurate than free-hand technique. Radiation exposure remains the primary drawback. We determined the feasibility and safety of a reduced radiation protocol in paediatric patients undergoing scoliosis correction.

Surgical approaches to L5 corpectomy: a systematic review.

Introduction: Surgical approaches to pathologies of the L5 vertebra constitute a significant challenge. Our aim was to review the efficacy and safety of the surgical approaches to L5 corpectomy and reconstruction across the range of presenting pathology.

Materials And Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, and databases were searched from 1970 to January 2020.

Can MRI findings predict the outcome of cervical spinal cord Injury? a systematic review.

Introduction: MRI is the established gold standard for imaging acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Our aim was to identify the prognostic value, in terms of neurological outcome, of extradural and intradural features detected on MRI performed acutely following traumatic cervical SCI.

Materials And Methods: Several databases were systematically searched to identify potentially eligible articles until December 2019.

Can Fan-Beam Interactive Computed Tomography Accurately Predict Indirect Decompression in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery Fusion Procedures?

Background: Recently, novel mobile intraoperative fan-beam computed tomography (CT) was introduced, allowing for real-time navigation and immediate intraoperative evaluation of neural decompression in spine surgery. This study sought to investigate whether intraoperatively assessed neural decompression during minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) has a predictive value for clinical and radiographic outcome.

Methods: A retrospective study of patients undergoing intraoperative CT (iCT)-guided extreme lateral interbody fusion or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion was conducted.

"One-Shot" CT image navigated circumferential fusion in a single lateral decubitus position: surgical technique.

The purpose of this paper was to summarize the surgical peculiarities of a combined approach for minimally invasive lateral retroperitoneal interbody fusion and posterior percutaneous pedicle screw instrumentation in the same lateral decubitus position using intraoperative computed tomography-based navigation.
