Study Design: This was a randomized double-blind controlled study.
Purpose: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of intravenous nefopam regarding its ability to reduce morphine consumption and postoperative pain and improve recovery in patients undergoing open spine surgery.
Overview Of Literature: Multimodal analgesia, including nonopioid medications, is essential for pain management in spine surgery.

Objective: To compare patient-reported outcomes and radiographic outcomes between using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium-coated PEEK (TiPEEK) as an interbody cage in patients who underwent minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF).
Methods: Eighty-Six patients who underwent 1-2 levels of MIS-TLIF were randomly allocated to receive a TiPEEK or PEEK cage. Patient-reported outcomes were recorded using visual analog scale, Oswestry Disability Index, and EuroQoL-5D-5L.
Study Design: Randomized double-blind control study.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of nefopam on reducing morphine consumption and postoperative pain in patients undergoing minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) and to evaluate its effects on enhanced recovery after spine surgery.
Overview Of Literature: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has become a major goal for spine surgery.
Introduction: The central ridge of the patella is the thickest area of patella and varies among patients. This cadaveric study identified the location and thickness of the bone at the central patella ridge for bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) harvesting.
Materials And Methods: Fifty cadaveric knees were assessed.
