Comparative Complications Associated With BMP Use In Patients Undergoing ACDF for Degenerative Spinal Conditions: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Study Design: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objectives: To compare complication incidence in patients with or without the use of recombinant human Bone Morphogenic Protein-2 (BMP2) undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for degenerative conditions.

Methods: A systematic search of eight online databases was conducted using PRISMA guidelines.

Minimally Invasive Sacroiliac Joint Fusion: The Current Evidence.

Background: Fusion of the sacroiliac (SI) joint as a treatment for low back pain remains controversial. The purpose of this manuscript is to review the current literature and clinical outcomes of SI joint fusion surgery.

Methods: We conducted a literature review and included studies with the term "sacroiliac joint fusion" that had at least 12 months of clinical follow-up, reported on minimally invasive techniques, and included patient-reported outcome measures.

Intraobserver and interobserver reliability of the kneeling technique of stress radiography for the evaluation of posterior knee laxity.

Background: Stress radiography provides an objective tool to measure posterior knee instability. Intraobserver and interobserver reliability has been reported for the Telos device, but it has not been studied using the kneeling technique.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of measurements made using kneeling stress radiography to quantify posterior knee instability.
