In July of 2018, the Second International Consensus Meeting (ICM) on Musculoskeletal Infection convened in Philadelphia, PA was held to discuss issues regarding infection in orthopedic patients and to provide consensus recommendations on these issues to practicing orthopedic surgeons. During this meeting, attending delegates divided into subspecialty groups to discuss topics specifics to their respective fields, which included the spine. At the spine subspecialty group meeting, delegates discussed and voted upon the recommendations for 63 questions regarding the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infection in spinal surgery. Of the 63 questions, 17 focused on the use of antibiotics in spine surgery, for which this article provides the recommendations, voting results, and rationales.

Awake, endoscopic lumbar interbody spinal fusion: 10 years of experience with the first 400 cases.
J Neurosurg Spine
January 2025
2Anesthesiology, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida.
Objective: Awake, endoscopic spinal fusion has been utilized as an ultra-minimally invasive surgery technique to accomplish the goals of spinal fixation, fusion, and disc height restoration. While many techniques exist for this approach, this series represents a single institution's experience with a large cohort and the evolution of this method.
Methods: The medical records of a consecutive series of 400 patients treated over a 10-year period were retrospectively reviewed.

Objective: The objective was to comprehensively investigate the clinical, molecular, and imaging characteristics and outcomes of H3 K27-altered diffuse midline glioma (DMG) in adults.
Methods: Retrospective chart and imaging reviews were performed in 111 adult patients with H3 K27-altered DMG from two tertiary institutions. Clinical, molecular, imaging, and survival characteristics were analyzed.
The impact of lower thoracic versus upper lumbar upper instrumented vertebra in minimally invasive correction of adult spinal deformity.
J Neurosurg Spine

15Department of Neurological Surgery, University of California, San Francisco, California.
Objective: The goal of this study was to compare the impact of using a lower thoracic (LT) versus upper lumbar (UL) level as the upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) on clinical and radiographic outcomes following minimally invasive surgery for adult spinal deformity.
Methods: A multicenter retrospective study design was used. Inclusion criteria were age ≥ 18 years, and one of the following: coronal Cobb angle > 20°, sagittal vertical axis > 50 mm, pelvic tilt > 20°, pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis mismatch > 10°.
Intradural extramedullary double primary ependymoma and meningioma rare condition: Case report and literature review.

Department of Pathology, Deyang Peoples' Hospital, Deyang, Sichuan Province, China.
Rationale: Ependymomas are commonly prevalent intramedullary neoplasms in adults, with hardly any cases of exophytic extramedullary ependymoma being reported. Meningiomas, on the contrary, are one of the most common intradural extramedullary (IDEM) tumors. However, the occurrence of both IDEM tumors simultaneously is extremely rare.
