[Use of pedicle percutaneous cemented screws in the management of patients with poor bone stock].

Introduction: Management of patients with poor bone stock remains difficult due to the risks of mechanical complications such as screws pullouts. At the same time, development of minimal invasive spinal techniques using a percutaneous approach is greatly adapted to these fragile patients with a reduction in operative time and complications. The aim of this study was to report our experience with cemented percutaneous screws in the management of patients with a poor bone stock.

[Management of spinal metastasis by minimal invasive surgery technique: Surgical principles, indications: A literature review].

Introduction: Spinal metastasis are getting more frequent. This raises the question of pain and neurological complications, which worsen the functional and survival prognosis of this oncological population patients. The surgical treatment must be the most complete as possible: to decompress and stabilize without delaying the management of the oncological disease.

Anterior approach with expandable cage implantation in management of unstable thoracolumbar fractures: Results of a series of 93 patients.

Introduction: Anterior approach indications in unstable thoracolumbar fractures (UTLF) are debated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of anterior fixation and expandable prosthetic vertebral body cage (EPVBC) implantation alone or combined with a posterior approach in the management of UTLF.

Materials And Methods: Ninety-three patients underwent anterior fixation with implantation of an EPVBC for UTLF from T7 to L5.

Minimally invasive transmuscular approach for the treatment of benign intradural extramedullary spinal cord tumours: Technical note and results.

Background: Minimally invasive surgery has expanded over the past two decades and was initially used for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Later, this approach was used to treat other spine pathologies, as well as to perform spinal fusion and extended spinal decompression. In this study, we report our experience regarding the use of a minimal surgical approach in the treatment of intradural extramedullary spinal cord tumours.

Corpectomy and Vertebral Body Reconstruction with Expandable Cage Placement and Osteosynthesis via the single stage Posterior Approach: a Retrospective Series of 34 Patients with Thoracic and Lumbar Spine Vertebral Body Tumors.

Background: Metastatic disease of the spine requires a multidisciplinary and comprehensive approach to patient care, especially, for patients in a lot of pain with neurological deficit or spinal instability requiring surgical stabilization.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to report our experience on 34 patients who underwent spinal metastasis resection. We used a single-stage posterior approach with vertebral body reconstruction by an expandable titanium cage and a posterior instrumentation.
