Purpose: Adjacent segment disease (ASD) is a common complication in fusion surgery. In the event of solid segmental fusion, previous implants can be removed or preserved during fusion extension for ASD. To compare the surgical outcomes of patients with and without implants and analyzes the risk factors for postoperative mechanical complications.

- - The study compares the effectiveness of patient-specific 3D printed plates (3DP) versus conventional plates (CP) for reducing complex pelvic bone fractures, analyzing data from 10 cases using 3DP and 5 cases using CP.
- - Results showed that the 3DP group achieved significantly better reduction with lower vertex distances, length variations, and angular variations compared to the CP group, indicating a more precise fit to the bone.
- - The findings suggest that using customized 3D printed plates may enhance the accuracy of pelvic fracture reductions, potentially improving surgical outcomes.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate autophagy in an extruded disc and to compare this activity with the activity in the remaining disc after lumbar disc herniation in the same patient.
Methods: In total, 12 patients (females 4, males 8) with the extruded type of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) were surgically treated. Their mean age was 54.
Objective: We investigated the long-term effects of bone cement-augmented instrumentation in multilevel lumbar fusions in a retrospective cohort study. The use of cement-augmented screws is one of the techniques used to reduce early mechanical failure in treating multilevel lumbar fusion, especially in the elderly. However, little information is available regarding the long-term effects.

The maternal and neonatal charts of 71 out of a total of 409 pregnancies that were complicated by hypertensive disorders at Severance hospital between January 1995 and December 2004 were reviewed. Twenty-one pregnancies were complicated by HELLP syndrome and 50 pregnancies were complicated by PS.
