Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates clinical outcomes of one-level vs. two-level minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) for herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), focusing on the success perceived by patients post-surgery.
- - A total of 293 patients were analyzed, with 250 undergoing one-level and 43 undergoing two-level discectomies, showing variations in demographics and slightly different surgical outcomes but similar PROM results overall.
- - The analysis revealed a slightly higher reoperation rate for the two-level group (11.6%) compared to the one-level group (6.80%), but this difference wasn't statistically significant (p = 0.270).
Purpose: To assess the reliability and educational quality of YouTube videos related to pediatric scoliosis.
Methods: In December 2020, searches of "pediatric scoliosis", "idiopathic scoliosis", "scoliosis in children", and "curved spine in children" were conducted using YouTube. The first 50 results of each search were analyzed according to upload source and content.
Background: YouTube has become a popular source for patient education, though there are concerns regarding the quality and reliability of videos related to orthopaedic and neurosurgical procedures. This study aims to evaluate the credibility and educational content of videos on YouTube related to cervical fusion. Secondarily, the study aims to identify factors predictive of higher or lower quality videos.
