Background Context: Significant variability in the management of Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) has been observed among spine surgeons worldwide. The variability among Canadian spine surgeons, a country with universal public healthcare, remains unknown.

Purpose: The study aims to evaluate areas of variability in the peri-operative optimization and surgical management of ASD among Canadian spine surgeons.

Focal dome osteotomy for correction of varus deformity at elbow in children.

Background: Cubitus varus is the most common complication of un-treated or mal-treated supracondylar fracture of humerus at elbow. Various osteotomies have been described to correct this deformity but each is associated with its own complications. In this study, focal dome osteotomy for correction of cubitus varus was performed to determine its functional and radiological outcome.
