Incidence and risk factors of adjacent vertebral fracture after percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty in postmenopausal women: a retrospective study.

Adjacent vertebral fracture (AVF) is a serious complication of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). This study aimed to explore the incidence and risk factors of AVF following PVP or PKP in postmenopausal women. The incidence of AVF was determined by spinal radiographic examinations.

Incidence and risk factors of subsequent vertebral fracture following percutaneous vertebral augmentation in postmenopausal women.

Purpose: Subsequent vertebral fracture (SVF) is a severe advent event of percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA). However, the incidence and risk factors of SVF following PVA for OVCF in postmenopausal women remain unclear. This research aims to investigative the incidence and risk factors of SVF after PVA for OVCF in postmenopausal women.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty for SAPHO syndrome with vertebral destruction: a case report and literature review.

Synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is a rare musculoskeletal disease characterized by dermatological and osteoarticular lesions. However, SAPHO syndrome is difficult to be diagnosed due to the rarity and complexity. Additionally, there is no standard treatment for SAPHO syndrome based on limited experience.

Clinical comparison of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy and unilateral biportal endoscopic discectomy for single-level lumbar disc herniation.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) and unilateral biportal endoscopic discectomy (UBE) for the treatment of single-level lumbar disc herniation (LDH).

Materials And Methods: From January 2020 to November 2021, 62 patients with single-level LDH were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent spinal surgeries at the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University and Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University.

Intradural lumbar disc herniation of L2-L3: A case report and literature review.

Background: Intradural lumbar disc herniation (ILDH), especially upper lumbar intradural disc herniation, is a rare type of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). However, it may have severe and complex symptoms, causing serious impact on the patients. Additionally, it is difficult to be diagnosed with limited experience.

High-viscosity versus low-viscosity cement for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: High viscosity cement (HVC) and low viscosity cement (LVC) have been used to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). Our study was to assess the safety and efficacy of HVC and LVC in treating OVCFs.

Methods: We searched the electronic database for randomized controlled trials of HVC and LVC to treat OVCFs.

Percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy for L5-S1 calcified lumbar disc herniation: A retrospective study.

Background: Calcified lumbar disc herniation (CLDH) is considered to be a special type of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID), with safety and efficacy, has been proved to be a minimally invasive surgery for LDH. However, there are few studies on PEID in the treatment of CLDH at the L5-S1 level.

Risk factors of new vertebral compression fracture after percutaneous vertebroplasty or percutaneous kyphoplasty.

Background: New vertebral compression fracture (VCF) may occur in patients who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). However, the risk factors of new VCF remain controversial. The research aimed to analyze the risk factors of new VCF after PVP or PKP.

A comparative study of percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy and transforaminal discectomy for L5-S1 calcified lumbar disc herniation.

Background: Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is a relatively safe and effective minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of calcified lumbar disc herniation (CLDH). However, studies on percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy (PEID) and percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal discectomy (PETD) for CLDH have rarely been reported. This research aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of PEID and PETD for L5-S1 CLDH.

Polymeric Fibers as Scaffolds for Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a complex neurological condition caused by trauma, inflammation, and other diseases, which often leads to permanent changes in strength and sensory function below the injured site. Changes in the microenvironment and secondary injuries continue to pose challenges for nerve repair and recovery after SCI. Recently, there has been progress in the treatment of SCI with the use of scaffolds for neural tissue engineering.

Modular prosthesis fracture in a patient with developmental dysplasia of the hip: a case report and literature review.

Background: Modular prosthesis fracture, especially distal femoral fracture, is a rare complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, it is catastrophic, and may have a serious impact on the patients. A distal femoral prosthesis fracture in a patient with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with nonunion at the subtrochanteric osteotomy site has not yet been reported in any literature.

Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis with degenerative spondylolisthesis in the elderly.

Objectives: Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) under local anesthesia is rarely performed for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS) because of the limited field of vision, inherent instability, etc. The objective of this study was to describe the procedure of the PTED technique and to demonstrate the early clinical outcomes.

Patients And Methods: From January 2017 to January 2019, 40 consecutive patients aged 60 and older were diagnosed with LSS with DLS in our institution and underwent PTED.

A case report of paravertebral low-grade malignant fibrous myxoid sarcoma.

Rationale: Low-grade malignant fibrous myxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a malignant tumor that originates from soft tissues and has specific clinical and histopathological characteristics. Paravertebral LGFMS is rarely reported.

Patient Concerns: A 60-year-old woman had pain in the lower back and right anterior thigh for more than 3 years.
