Drug eluting bioactive glass ceramics for fusion in spondylodiscitis: a pilot study.

Retrospective observational study. To determine the efficacy and safety of bioactive glass ceramics mixed with autograft in the treatment of spondylodiscitis. Thirty-four patients with spondylodiscitis underwent surgery using autologous bone graft augmented by antibiotic loaded bioactive glass ceramic granules.

Analysis of serum levels of titanium and aluminium ions in patients with early onset scoliosis operated upon using the magnetic growing rod-a single centre study of 14 patients.

Study Design: A cross-sectional retrospective Level 3 study.

Objective: To study the serum levels of Titanium and Aluminium ions in patients operated using the magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) system. 14 consecutive patients of early onset scoliosis with varying etiology managed with MCGR system with a minimum follow-up of 24 months were selected for the study.

Analysis of the Functional and Radiological Outcomes of Lumbar Decompression without Fusion in Patients with Degenerative Lumbar Scoliosis.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the functional and radiological outcomes of lumbar decompression in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS).

Overview Of Literature: Patients with DLS have symptoms related to lumbar canal stenosis (LCS) and those due to compensated spinal imbalance.

Traumatic multiple cervical spine injuries in a patient with osteopetrosis and its management.

Study Design: Single case report.

Objective/purpose: To report multiple level fractures of cervical spine in a patient with osteopetrosis and its management. Osteopetrosis is a rare inherited condition characterized by defective remodeling resulting in hard and brittle bones with diffuse osteosclerosis.
