Article Synopsis
- * Out of 584 citations, 21 studies met the inclusion criteria, reporting a fusion rate between 68.5% and 100%, with common complications including postoperative dysphagia (0.5% to 14.4%) and revision surgery (0% to 10.3%).
- * Overall, complication reporting was low and suggests many issues may not be directly related to the allografts themselves but rather the ACDF procedure, indicating a need for more robust comparative
Study Design: Systematic literature review.
Objective: To analyze the literature and describe the evidence supporting osteobiologic use in revision anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and ClinicalTrials.
: diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is challenging, as no single test has absolute accuracy. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of different simple synovial biomarkers in the diagnosis of PJI as defined by the European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS). : we retrospectively identified all patients undergoing revision hip or knee arthroplasty from 2013 to 2019 on our prospectively maintained database.

Bilateral simultaneous instability is almost pathognomonic for a convulsive disorder. To the best of our knowledge, we describe the first case of asymmetric bilateral chronic dislocation.

The aim of this study is to reproduce the measurements performed by Moufid and Gille and try to validate their findings.
Material And Methods: A retrospective study was performed including patients submitted to L3-L5 posterior fusion with or without interbody devices using polyaxial screws and titanium rods, for degenerative disease.
Purpose: To report and discuss a rare case of septic arthritis of a lumbar facet joint presenting as septic bacterial peritonitis and requiring surgical debridement.
Methods: A 55-year-old man, with a history of intravenous drug usage and hepatitis C, presented to the emergency department with fever, abdominal and lumbar pain. Examination showed ascites.
