Traumatic pelvic ring fracture during pregnancy: a systematic review.

Purpose: This systematic review aims to investigate the management and outcomes of pelvic ring fractures (PRFs) during pregnancy, emphasizing maternal and fetal mortality rates, mechanisms of injury, and treatment modalities.

Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we conducted a comprehensive search of databases from 2000 to 2023, identifying 33 relevant studies. Data extraction included demographics, fracture types, treatment methods, and outcomes.

Surgical treatment of scoliosis in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta: a single institution case series.

Background: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by skeletal deformities, bone fragility, and spinal complications. Various studies' insights underscored the impact of scoliosis on pulmonary function, positive outcomes with spinal fusion, and improved functional abilities post-surgery. However, partial loss of correction remains inevitable.

Achievements and complications related to final fusion surgery in early onset scoliosis at the end of "traditional dual growing rod mission".

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Objective: Assess the outcomes of final fusion in early onset scoliosis patients treated with TDGR, particularly with acceptable coronal and sagittal alignment at the end of their growing age. Early onset scoliosis (EOS) poses challenges due to the need for managing spinal deformities while accommodating trunk growth.

The role of environmental and seasonal factors in spine deep surgical site infection: the air pollution, a factor that may be underestimated.

Background: Different strategies have been described in order to reduce spine deep surgical site infection (SSI); however, non-intervenable items such as environmental factors remain as one of the main concerns for spine surgeons.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was designed in order to evaluate the effect of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and particularly the air pollution index (PM 2.5) on spine surgical site infection.
