What Is the Evidence Supporting Osteobiologic Use in Revision Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion?

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.

Simple and inexpensive synovial fluid biomarkers for the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection according to the new EBJIS definition.

: 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.

Asymmetric Bilateral Chronic Shoulder Dislocation in a Young Patient - A Rare Case Report.

Introduction: Chronic shoulder dislocations are infrequent and can be easily overlooked unless a carefully clinical history, physical examination, and radiographic evaluation are undertaken. 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.

Postoperative impact of rod bending in the lumbar spine fusion surgery with polyaxial screws - Validation of a study.

Introduction: In 2019, Moufid and Gille published a study in which they proposed certain radiological parameters that may justify the mismatch between the lordosis of the lumbar segment and the lordosis of the rod bar using polyaxial screws. 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.
