Use of Hartshill Rectangle with Sublaminar Wiring in Spinal Stabilization of D4-D5 Fracture Dislocation with Acute Spinal Cord Injury - A Cost-Effective Treatment.

Introduction: Fractures in the upper thoracic spine pose technical challenges due to the transition from cervical to thoracic spine, often resulting in complete spinal cord injuries necessitating stabilization. Various posterior fixation techniques include Harrington rods, wired distraction rods, L-rods with sub-laminar wiring, and pedicle screw fixation. Luque pioneered sublaminar wiring (SLW), later enhanced by Dove's Hartshill system for superior biomechanical stability.

Recurrent Radiculopathy Following Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Successful Management with Endoscopic Sacroiliac Joint Ablation.

Introduction: Low back pain persisting after spine surgery presents diagnostic and treatment complexities for spine surgeons. Failed back syndrome is a term usually used to characterize chronic back or leg pain following spine surgery. Research has indicated a range of persistent pain occurrences after spine surgery.

Postoperative discal pseudocyst: Report of A case with an unusual complication after microlumbar discectomy and successful treatment by transforaminal endoscopic lumbar decompression.

Background: Lumbar discal pseudocysts are uncommon complications that can arise following lumbar spine surgery. It manifests as a fluid-filled sac near the intervertebral disc, causing pain and discomfort. Understanding its causes, symptoms, and management is crucial for patients and healthcare professionals involved in postoperative spinal care.

Multilevel Pre-extensively Drug-resistant Tubercular Spondylodiscitis: Underdiagnosed or Overlooked? A Case Report.

Introduction: Pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) is characterized by resistance to either a fluoroquinolone (FQ) or a second-line injectable but not both. The urgent need for prompt diagnosis and targeted treatment is emphasized. This report aims to spotlight a case of spinal TB with insufficient assessment, resulting in delayed definitive treatment and an oversight contributing to heightened morbidity.
