Delayed Infection 34 Months After IntraSPINE Dynamic Internal Insertion.

Introduction: Postoperative surgical site infection remains one of the major complications after spinal surgery. IntraSPINE (intraspine) is a dynamic intralaminar device introduced by Cousin Biotech and is indicated for the surgical treatment of lumbar spine disorders. There are no reports on delayed surgical site infection (SSI) after lumbar surgery using this device.

The Radiological Complications of Short-Segment Pedicle Screw Fixation Combined with Transforaminal Interbody Fusion in the Treatment of Unstable Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture: A Retrospective Case Series Study in Vietnam.

Background: The radiological complications including correction loss and hardware failure of short segment posterior pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures remain a main concern. Several procedures aiming to reinforce the anterior column have been introduced to solve these limitations, including transforaminal interbody fusion (TIF). The purposes of this study were to evaluate the radiological complications of short-segment pedicle screw fixation in combination with transforaminal interbody fusion in the treatment of unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures.
