Care of the patient experiencing spinal surgery requires clear understanding of the normal anatomy, physiology, and functioning of the spine, as well as the effect of back pain and disability on human responses. Nurses must consider key assessments and interventions preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively to provide holistic care and recognize potential complications. Interdisciplinary care priorities with spinal surgery patients are addressed to promote uncomplicated rehabilitation and promotion of quality activities of daily living.

Bone tissue engineering is a promising field that aims to rebuild the bone tissue using biomaterials, cells, and signaling molecules. Materials like natural and synthetic polymers, inorganic materials, and composite materials are used to create scaffolds that mimic the hierarchical microstructure of bone. Stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), play a crucial role in bone tissue engineering by promoting tissue regeneration and modulating the immune response.

Purpose: Scoliosis is a complex multi-dimensional deformity of the spine that is common in children and adults. Of the various treatments for scoliosis, one is posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation. The rods typically used are composed of titanium or cobalt-chrome.

Neuromuscular diseases usually manifest as abnormalities involving motor neurons, neuromuscular junctions, and skeletal muscle (SkM) in postnatal stage. Present in vitro models of neuromuscular interactions require a long time and lack neuroglia involvement. Our study aimed to construct rodent bioengineered spinal cord neural network-skeletal muscle (NN-SkM) assembloids to elucidate the interactions between spinal cord neural stem cells (SC-NSCs) and SkM cells and their biological effects on the development and maturation of postnatal spinal cord motor neural circuits.

Objective: Spinopelvic sagittal balance ensures efficient posture and minimizes energy expenditure by aligning the spine, pelvis, and lower extremities. Deviations can cause clinical issues like back pain and functional limitations. Key radiographic parameters, including pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), and lumbar lordosis (LL), are essential for evaluating spinal pathologies and planning surgeries.

Objective: Surgical treatments for degenerative lumbar spinal disorders involve decompression of neural structures and arthrodesis to address pain from unstable intervertebral segments. Lumbar instrumented facet fusion (IFF), a less invasive technique, has shown positive short-term outcomes, but reports on its long-term outcomes are scarce. This study aims to report its long-term biomechanical stability and clinical outcomes.
