Study Design: Retrospective cohort analysis.
Objective: Identify demographic and clinical predictors for revision discectomy and compare postoperative complications between primary microdiscectomy (MD) and revision discectomy.
Methods: Patients who underwent one-level primary lumbar MD and subsequent one-level revision discectomy for lumbar disc herniation were identified using the PearlDiver national database.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Objectives: To evaluate the complications of anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) in patients with primary hypercoagulable disorders and to compare outcomes between anterior and posterior spine fusions in this patient population.
Methods: The PearlDiver national patient database was queried for patients with primary hypercoagulable disorders who underwent ALIF.
Article Synopsis
- An 8-year-old Persian boy with lysyl hydroxylases deficiency experienced scoliosis and presented with multiple physical issues, including contractures and previous surgeries.
- He underwent scoliosis surgery using growing rod instrumentation, addressing his spine curvature.
- The case highlights the need for careful management during surgery due to potential complications associated with the patient's rare condition.
Article Synopsis
- Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are a significant health concern associated with increased rates of illness and death, yet many patients do not follow prescribed osteoporosis treatments (AOTs).
- This study analyzed data from over 637,000 patients with VCFs from 2010 to 2021 to assess the rate of hip fractures following VCFs and examined patterns of AOT prescriptions and surgical interventions.
- Results showed a higher subsequent hip fracture rate among patients who started AOT after their VCF, indicating a potential selection bias and underscoring the need to improve adherence to osteoporosis management guidelines.
Objectives: Displaced acetabular fractures are complex injuries that necessitate precise surgical intervention. Obturator nerve injuries occur in approximately 2% of cases. The modified Stoppa approach, offering enhanced exposure of the quadrilateral plate, has gained attraction as an alternative technique for anterior acetabular fractures.
