The aim of the study was the electroneuromyographic evaluation of the spinal cord pyramidal structures reactivity and resistance in response to the impact of intraoperative factors associated with the application of technologies instrumental correction of spinal deformities of various etiologies and degrees of severity, realized with the help of submersible transpedicular fixation systems. Before treatment and 4-31 (9.6 ± 0.3) days after surgery using methods of global and stimulation (M-responses) electroneuromyography were examined 135 patients 8-50 (16.4 ± 0.6) years (42 male, 93 female) with spinal deformities of various etiologies and severity. The intrao perative maximum angle correction of the spinal column ranged from 3° to 95° (37.2 ± 1.5°). To assess the reactivity of the spinal cord structures located at the top of the primary arc deformation used integral index - the index of sensorimotor deficit (ISD). The lowest values of ISD and most distinct postoperative negative trends of this indicator were observed in persons with spinal deformities of neuromuscular etiology.

Background And Objectives: Three-column osteotomy (3CO) offers substantial spinal deformity correction. Thoracic neurovascular bundle sacrifice is often required, and anterior spinal artery (ASA) perfusion can be compromised. Spinal angiography allows localization of variable ASA vascular contribution.

Study Design: A systematic literature review and consensus using Delphi method.
Objective: The aim was to formulate consensus recommendations regarding the natural history, diagnosis, classification and optimal treatment of Os Odontoideum with global applicability.
Summary Of Background: Os odontoideum (OO) is a rare anomaly of the cranio-vertebral junction (CVJ).

Background: With the widespread use of lumbar pedicle screws for internal fixation, the morphology of the screws and the surrounding tissues should be evaluated. The metal artifact reduction (MAR) technique can reduce the artifacts caused by pedicle screws, improve the quality of computed tomography (CT) images after pedicle fixation, and provide more imaging information to the clinic.
Purpose: To explore whether the MAR+ method, a projection-based algorithm for correcting metal artifacts through multiple iterative operations, can reduce metal artifacts and have an impact on the structure of the surrounding metal.

Purpose: The aim was to assess the clinical outcomes after posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in patients with Scheuermann's disease (SD).
Methods: SD undergoing PSF were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical outcome was determined using SRS-22- and Eq.

Purpose: In congenital scoliosis, the surgical strategy approach of hemivertebra excision, with or without instrumentation and fusion, is a common approach to correction of scoliosis. However, hemivertebra excisions are technically challenging, with potential complications including spinal cord injury, nerve root injury and cerebrospinal fluid leak. The purpose of this study was to determine whether correction of congenital scoliosis can be achieved using a posterior instrumentation/fusion-only approach without the need for hemivertebra excision.
