Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the relationship between patients' preoperative expectations of pain relief and their functional outcomes and satisfaction after anterior cervical surgery, focusing on data collected from surgeries performed between 2016-2021.
- Researchers analyzed data from 198 ACDF and 52 CDR patients, finding no significant links between expected pain relief and improvement in functional scores or satisfaction after 12 months; however, higher preoperative dissatisfaction was correlated with better postoperative improvement.
- The results suggest that while patients’ preoperative expectations may not directly influence their outcomes, those who start off less satisfied may experience greater functional improvements following surgery.
Introduction: Controversy exists regarding whether spinal implants need to be removed to treat postoperative deep wound infections (DWIs). This retrospective study aimed to determine whether the removal or retention of implants impacts the successful treatment of a DWI after spine surgery.
Methods: Postoperative spine surgery patients presenting with signs of infection who underwent irrigation and debridement (I&D) at Twin Cities Spine Surgeons at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Minnesota, USA, were studied.
Purpose: This natural history study reports long-term radiographic and clinical outcomes of patients with diagnosis of AIS with curves between 30° and 50°. Our purpose was to determine if any intervention in the natural history is warranted.
Methods: This was a longitudinal descriptive study at a single institution.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether text reminders influence patient compliance with Twin Block appliances. The null hypothesis was that there was no statistically significant differences in Twin Block compliance between those who receive text reminders and those that do not.
Design: Single-blind parallel randomised controlled clinical trial.
and are important causes of septic arthritis in patients with hypogammaglobulinemia. The diagnosis can be challenging, leading to prolonged illness and increased morbidity, and mortality. This is driven by the complex growth media requirements of species and the difficulty in identifying the organisms on routine culture media.
