Article Synopsis
- Degenerative spine disease (DSD) is becoming more common, particularly in older adults, leading to more surgeries and complications, which require thorough preoperative assessments of patient frailty.
- This study evaluated 286 patients undergoing lumbar spine fusion, using modified Frailty Indexes and assessing sarcopenia through imaging, to determine their impact on postoperative complications.
- Results showed that frailty is a strong predictor of complications post-surgery, while sarcopenia had little effect, indicating that evaluating frailty may be more critical for assessing surgical risks.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine if the level of training of the first assistant (resident or attending surgeon) has an influence on the radiographic outcome of AIS surgery and on the accuracy rate of the pedicle screws placement.
Summary Of Background Data: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery is a challenging procedure that requires a dedicated team of skilled professionals.
Introduction: The survival of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with poliomyelitis remains a debated topic due to the high recurrence of postoperative genu recurvatum. This study aims to report the long-term survival of TKA in patients with poliomyelitis, using data from the Italian Register of Prosthetic Implantology.
Materials And Methods: A registry-based population study was conducted, utilizing data from the Emilia Romagna orthopedic arthroplasty implants registry (RIPO - Registro Implantologia Protesica Ortopedica).
Over the past several decades, there has been a notable increase in the total number of spinal fusion procedures worldwide. Advanced spinal fusion techniques, surgical approaches, and new alternatives in grafting materials and implants, as well as autologous cellular therapies, have been widely employed for treating spinal diseases. While the potential of cellular therapies to yield better clinical results is appealing, supportive data are needed to confirm this claim.

- Lumbar back pain is a leading cause of disability globally, affecting most people at some point in their lives, particularly due to degenerative spine issues in the elderly.
- Treatment costs for back pain are significant, prompting a shift towards interventional radiology, which offers less invasive, image-guided procedures as alternatives to traditional surgery.
- This review highlights various minimally invasive techniques for managing degenerative spine-related pain, emphasizing the role of radiologists in employing advanced imaging for effective diagnosis and treatment, thereby improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
