Bipolar hybrid posterior instrumentation tecnique for the correction of Scheuermann's kyphosis.

Scheuermann´s kyphosis (SK) is the most common cause of painful and progressive structural hyperkyphosis in adolescents. Surgical treatment should be considered in cases of refractory pain or progressive deformities. We present the clinical and radiological results obtained using a bipolar, hybrid posterior instrumentation tecnique.

Deformity correction from the convexity of the curve in neuromuscular scoliosis.

Background: "Convex Pedicle Screw Technique" reduces the theoretical risk of neurovascular injury. Our aim is to evaluate the efficacy of this technique in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS).

Methods: Retrospective study of 12 patients who underwent a Convex Pedicle Screw Technique and were diagnosed with NMS.

Abducens nerve palsy associated with pseudomeningocele after cervical spine surgery: a case report.

Background: Cerebrospinal fluid leakage can cause abducens nerve palsy (ANP) secondary to downward brain traction, caused by intracranial hypotension. We present the first case after cervical fixation and fusion with spinal cord decompression.

Case Description: We present a 65-year-old male, who undergone C5-C6 decompression by laminectomy and C3-T2 fixation and fusion, without intraoperative complications.

, an unusual cause of surgical site infection following vertebral posterior instrumentation: a case report.

Background: () is an anaerobic Gram-positive coccus, common commensal of the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans. Anaerobic organisms as etiologic agents of bone and joint infections (BJI) are uncommon and frequently underestimated. New technologies, such as mass spectrometry techniques and molecular techniques like 16S rRNA, allow for more efficient diagnosis of these anaerobic bacteria.
