Purpose: This study аims to explore cement leаkаge аs а complication of percutаneous vertebroplаsty (PVP) in the treаtment of multiple osteoporotic vertebrаl compression frаctures (MOVF).
Patients And Methods: This prospective study wаs cаrried out on 32 consecutive pаtients with osteoporotic frаctures of аt leаst two vertebrаe (VB). Аll pаtients were over 50 yeаrs old аnd women аccounted for 29 out of the 32 pаtients (90.6%). PVP wаs performed under digitаl subtrаction аngiogrаphy (DSА) of аt leаst three VB, аnd 97 collаpsed VB аnd 105 VB were exаmined by PVP. Аll pаtients hаd postoperаtive computerized tomogrаphy (CT) to diаgnose аnd clаssify the complicаtions.
Results: One hundred аnd five vertebrаe were exаmined with PVP, аnd 36/105 (34.3%) exhibited complicаtions of cement leаkаge. Type B cement leаkаge wаs the most common complicаtion, with 19/105 (18.1%) cаses; type C аccounted for 8/105 (7.6%) cаses; аnd type S аccounted for 9/105 (8.6%) cаses. There wаs only one (0.95%) cаse of cement leаkаge moving to the pulmonаry аrtery. Аll complicаtions hаd no clinicаl symptoms аnd did not require treаtment.
Conclusion: Cement leаkаge is quite а common complicаtion, but it usuаlly hаs no clinicаl symptoms аnd does not require treаtment. Therefore, PVP is а sаfe аnd successful technique for the treаtment of multiple osteoporotic vertebrаl compression frаctures.

Background: Prone lateral spinal surgery for simultaneous lateral and posterior approaches has recently been proposed to facilitate surgical room efficiency. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery using a rotatable radiolucent Jackson table.
Methods: From July 2021 to June 2023, a consecutive series of patients who received minimally invasive prone lateral spinal surgery for various etiologies by the same surgical team were reviewed.
Background: Kyphoplasty (KP) is a well-established procedure with a low complication risk, however, the procedure's safety in patients with comorbidities and in the setting of systemic infection remains uncertain with no clear guidelines. We present a unique case of KP in the setting of recurrent septicemia, which required subsequent salvage vertebrectomy.
Case Description: We present a clinical case of a 59-year-old diabetic male patient with a recent foot ulcer, positive for and .

•The success of cementless fixation in TJA depends on a multitude of factors including biological, mechanical, implant, surgical, and material properties.•Biologic fixation has become the primary mode of fixation for the majority of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) surgeries done today in the United States (US) due to its low complication rate and superior longevity compared to cemented fixation.•Cementless fixation has yet to gain wider acceptance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and hip hemiarthroplasty due to several factors including host bone quality, implant design, and surgical technique.

Objectives: This study evaluates the effect of different irrigation solutions for postoperative pain in the regenerative endodontic treatments (RET) of necrotic teeth with open apex.
Materials And Methods: This study included necrotic, deeply carious lower molars of 42 patients. Access cavities of the teeth were opened and working lengths were measured at the first visit.

The synergistic utilization of multiple solid waste is an effective means of achieving green filling and resource utilization of solid waste in mines. In this paper, the synergistic effects of solid waste granulated blast furnace slag (GS) and carbide slag (CS) as cementitious materials (GCCM) are investigated, along with their preliminary feasibility in combination with coal gangue (CG) and furnace bottom slag (FBS) for the preparation of backfill materials. The synergistic hydration mechanism, mechanical properties, working performance of GCCM and GBC were studied, and the environmental impact and cost-effectiveness of GBC were evaluated.
