Background: Patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) may experience low back pain (LBP) and radiating pain (RP). Currently, there is no substantial clinical benefit (SCB) of assessing both LBP and RP due to LDH.
Objective: To determine enhanced SCB values by simultaneously assessing LBP and RP.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated hospitalized LDH patients with concomitant LBP and RP between June 1, 2012, and May 31, 2013, and determined the numeric rating scale (NRS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores at admission and discharge. Furthermore, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was computed to assess diagnostic accuracy.
Results: SCB as per NRS for both LBP and RP was -2.50 in the 186 enrolled patients (AUC: 0.699 and 0.704, respectively). SCB as per ODI was -18.78 (AUC: 0.771). SCB for the mean of the two NRS scores for LBP and RP was -2.75 (AUC: 0.757). SCB for NRS score with a larger change in LBP and RP was -3.50 (AUC: 0.767).
Conclusions: SCB may be determined by comprehensively considering LBP and RP and choosing the mean NRS or NRS score with a large change.

Background: Recent studies highlight the increasing adoption of single-position prone lateral(SP-PL) and single-position lateral decubitus(SP-LD) in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery(MISS) to reduce operative time, enhance patient safety, and improve surgical accessibility.
Objective: To assess the differences between SP-PL and SP-LD achievement of optimal postoperative outcomes and post-operative complication rates.
Study Design: Retrospective review of prospectively collected MIS database.
Effect of different modes of administration of esketamine combined with supraclavicular brachial plexus block on the incidence of rebound pain after upper limb fracture surgery: study protocol for a single-centre, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial.
BMJ Open

Department of Anesthesiology, Deyang People's Hospital, Deyang, China
Background: Supraclavicular brachial plexus block (SCB) is a common regional analgesic technique for upper limb fracture surgery, but it often leads to rebound pain. Our primary aim is to determine whether different administration methods of esketamine can reduce rebound pain in patients undergoing SCB for upper limb fracture surgery.
Methods/design: This study is designed as a single-centre, double-blinded, prospective, randomised controlled trial.
Durability of substantial clinical benefit leading to optimal outcomes in adult spinal deformity corrective surgery: a minimum 5-year analysis.
J Neurosurg Spine
December 2024
1Department of Orthopedic and Neurological Surgery, Division of Spine Surgery, NYU Langone Medical Center, New York Spine Institute, New York, New York.
Objective: The objective was to evaluate factors associated with the long-term durability of outcomes in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients.
Methods: Operative ASD patients fused from at least L1 to the sacrum with baseline (BL) to 5-year (5Y) follow-up were included. Substantial clinical benefit (SCB) in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), numeric rating scale (NRS)-back, NRS-leg, and Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-22r scores and physical component score were assessed on the basis of previously published values.

Purpose: To compare retrospectively the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing endoscopic gluteal tendon repair with and without the use of dermal allograft augmentation.
Methods: A retrospective review of prospectively collected data, single-surgeon cohort study was performed on all patients undergoing endoscopic gluteus medius repair (GMR) and GMR with augmentation (GMR-A) between April 2017 and April 2022. Dermal allograft augmentation was used in cases where intraoperative gluteus tissue quality was poor.
