Study Design: Retrospective observational study.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the utility of cervical dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in the assessment of cervical canal stenosis.
Overview Of Literature: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy has been intricately linked to both static and dynamic narrowing of the cervical spinal canal.
Introduction: Osteoarthritis of the atlantoaxial joint is a significant cause of occipitocervical pain, which is often missed and has an increasing prevalence with age. The patients typically present with occipitocervical pain and restricted and painful neck rotations. Despite the primary reliance on conservative management for this pathology, surgical intervention becomes crucial for those not responding to standard conservative treatment.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed all the cases of CLDH/calcified ventral stenosis managed by transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. The preoperative images were analyzed for the level, migration; and grade (Lee's migration zones), and location (Michigan State University classification).
Context: Cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) was developed for the treatment of cervical disc disease with the potential advantages of preservation of physiological motion at a discal level, thereby potentially reducing adjacent level stresses and degeneration, which were a known complication of anterior cervical arthrodesis. The objective of this study was the assessment of long-term functional and radiological outcomes overtime in all the patients who underwent CDA from 2011 to 2019 at our institute.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight patients who underwent CDA (2011-2019) with a minimum 2-year follow-up were retrospectively evaluated.
Study Design: Retrospective comparative study.
Objective: To compare the accuracy of intra-operative navigation-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw insertion between bone fixed and skin fixed dynamic reference frame (DRF) in Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF).
Methods: Between October 2018 and September 2022, patients who underwent MIS-TLIF were included in this study with DRF fixed either on bone (group B) or skin (group S).
Background Lower back pain (LBP) is a major cause of increasing years lived with disability. Many adults suffer from LBP once in their lifetime. Multiple environmental, genetic, and acquired factors lead to disc degeneration.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Gorham-Stout disease (GSD), a fibro-lymphovascular entity in which tissue replaces the bone leading to massive osteolysis and its sequelae, rarely leads to spinal deformity/instability and neurological deficits. Here, we report a 12-year-old female who was diagnosed and treated for GSD.
Case Description: A 12-year-old female presented with back pain, and the inability to walk, sit, or stand attributed to three MR/CT documented L2-L4 lumbar vertebral collapses.
Study Design: Prospective, observational.
Objectives: The aim of our study was to assess the amount of reduction in lean muscle mass (LMM) of multifidus muscle (MFM) between conventional open Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (CO-TLIF) as compared to Minimally invasive spine Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF).
Methods: This study was conducted between 2017 and 2020.
Study Design: Surgical technical note and literature review.
Objectives: To describe a technique that uses 4 rod constructs in cases of complex thoracolumbar spinal deformity correction or revision surgeries based on the hybrid use of two different types of purchase points by a staggered pedicle screw fixation. It utilizes two rods on either side of the spine using a lateral and medial entry point of pedicle screws in the vertebral body.
