MFI-11 Predicts Post-Operative Serious Complications in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Odontoid Fractures.

Study Design: Retrospective Cohort.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyze postoperative complications in different mFI-11 groups after surgery for odontoid fractures in a geriatric population.

Methods: A single center retrospective review of odontoid fractures surgery (between 2013 and 2022) in patients aged 65 years and older was conducted.

Feasibility, Safety and Impact on Overall Survival of Awake Resection for Newly Diagnosed Supratentorial -Wildtype Glioblastomas in Adults.

Background: Although awake resection using intraoperative cortico-subcortical functional brain mapping is the benchmark technique for diffuse gliomas within eloquent brain areas, it is still rarely proposed for IDH-wildtype glioblastomas. We have assessed the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of awake resection for IDH-wildtype glioblastomas.

Methods: Observational single-institution cohort (2012-2018) of 453 adult patients harboring supratentorial IDH-wildtype glioblastomas who benefited from awake resection, from asleep resection, or from a biopsy.

Is function-based resection using intraoperative awake brain mapping feasible and safe for solitary brain metastases within eloquent areas?

To assess feasibility and safety of function-based resection under awake conditions for solitary brain metastasis patients. Retrospective, observational, single-institution case-control study (2014-2019). Inclusion criteria are adult patients, solitary brain metastasis, supratentorial location within eloquent areas, and function-based awake resection.

Conservative versus Surgical Treatment for Odontoid Fracture: Is the Surgical Treatment Harmful? Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Odontoid fracture is a common injury especially in elderly people. Despite some recent studies arguing in favor of surgery, the best treatment is still being debated.

Objective: We systematically review and analyze the comparative literature between surgical and conservative treatments of odontoid fractures.
