Study Design: Retrospective cohort.

Objective: Determine the rate and risk factors for S2AI screw-related pain after adult spinal deformity surgery with a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Methods: A consecutive 83 spinal deformity patients undergoing surgical treatment between August 2015 and December 2017 with minimum 2-year follow-up for S2AI screw complication and screw-related pain were included. Linear regression was performed on various risk factors and postoperative S2AI screw-related pain. Subset analysis of 53 patients was performed on preoperative and postoperative SRS and ODI scores, operative data, and radiographic data.

Results: The overall proportion of S2AI screw-related pain was 9.6%. An S2AI screw complication was identified radiographically in 10.8% of patients; among these, 22.2% experienced S2AI screw-related pain. 3.4% of all patients underwent S2A1 screw removal. The SRS, ODI, sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and coronal alignment scores/measurements improved following treatment in all patients. However, the mean difference for the pre and postoperative SRS function score (1.2 ± 0.5 vs 0.9 ± 0.8) and SVA (4.0 ± 4.9 cm vs 2.1 ± 4.8 cm) were higher for the pain group.

Conclusions: A minimum 2-year analysis of S2AI screw fixation in adult spinal deformity patients showed that 9.6% of patients experienced S2AI screw-related pain and 3.4% of patients had S2A1 screws removed. The size and the number of S2AI screws did not predict postoperative pain, nor were radiographic findings correlated with clinical outcomes. The patient outcome scores, coronal alignment, and SVA improved for all patients, but within the pain group there was an overall larger change in the SVA and SRS function score.

Objective: The incidence of fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFPs) is increasing in the elderly population, and FFPs that require fixation are a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The insertion of implants is not risk free due to the complex anatomical and osteoporotic bones and requires a steep learning curve. This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of TiRobot-assisted percutaneous cannulated screw fixation in the treatment of elderly FFP patients.

Purpose: To determine the rate of complications attributable to the use of screw fixation during the Latarjet procedure and to delineate screw-related complications for open and arthroscopic Latarjet surgery.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed by querying MEDLINE and EMBASE computerized databases for relevant articles that reported clinical outcomes associated with the Latarjet procedure. Clinical studies of open and/or arthroscopic Latarjet surgery that employed screw fixation of the coracoid were included in our analysis.

Background: A vascularized fibula graft (VFG) is the vascular autograft most frequently used to restore large segmental long bone defects, particularly in the upper limb. Because the use of a vascularized fibula involves an operation in an uninvolved extremity with potential morbidity, it is important to document that this type of reconstruction is successful in restoring function to the humerus. However, the long-term results of VFG after intercalary resection of the humeral diaphysis for bone tumors are still unknown.

Department of Sports Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University, Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, Shenzhen, China.

Background: The open Latarjet (OL) procedure and arthroscopic Latarjet (AL) procedure are able to treat recurrent anterior shoulder instability (RASI) with high success rates.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and postoperative revisions and complications between the OL and AL procedures in the treatment of RASI.

To solve the instrument loosening problem, we developed a fibroblast growth factor-2-calcium phosphate composite layer as a novel coating material to improve screw fixation strength. The primary aim of the present study was to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of screws coated with the FGF-2-calcium phosphate composite layer for posterior instrumented surgery of the cervical spine. The trial design was a single-arm, open-label, safety and feasibility study.
