Background Context: The risk factors for radiographical adjacent segment disease (ASD) in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis have been previously reported. However, there are only few reports on patients with spondylolytic spondylolisthesis who underwent single-level posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).
Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the risk factors for radiographical ASD in patients with L5-S1 spondylolytic spondylolisthesis who underwent single-level PLIF.
Study Design/setting: A retrospective study PATIENT SAMPLE: This study retrospectively reviewed 135 consecutive patients (91 men and 44 women) with symptomatic L5-S1 spondylolytic spondylolisthesis who underwent single-level PLIF.
Outcome Measures: The pre- and postoperative (at the final follow-up) spinopelvic parameters, % slip, sacral slope, lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic tilt, pelvic incidence (PI), PI minus LL (PI - LL), lumbosacral angle, C7 sagittal vertical axis, and thoracic kyphosis were measured using standing radiographs.
Methods: Radiographical ASD was defined as disc height loss (>3 mm), increase of posterior angulation (>5°), or progression of spondylolisthesis (>3 mm) between the pre- and postoperative radiographs. Pfirrmann's classification was used to evaluate disc degeneration. The radiographical parameters and changes between the pre- and postoperative values were evaluated and compared for the non-ASD and ASD groups. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the adjusted associations between each potential explanatory variable and ASD development.
Results: The radiographical ASD incidence was 11%. Additionally, 60% of the patients with ASD had radiographical ASD at 1 year and all cases of radiographical ASD in this follow-up period occurred within 3 years after the initial surgery. The mean period of ASD occurrence after initial surgery was 21.7 ± 12.6 months. No patients required reoperation for radiographical ASD. Multivariate analysis revealed that a preoperative (odds ratio [OR], 5.9; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-28.9; p=.03) and a postoperative (OR, 6.5; 95% CI, 1.2-34.5; p=.03) PI - LL of ≥15° were risk factors for radiographical ASD.
Conclusions: Pre- and postoperative PI - LL value mismatch was identified as significant independent risk factors for radiographical ASD in patients with L5-S1 spondylolytic spondylolisthesis. Obtaining larger lordosis at L5-S1 may be the key to preventing radiographical ASD.

Two-year radiological outcome of adult spinal deformity treated with lumbar pedicle subtraction osteotomy or posterior lumbar interbody fusion. A propensity score-matched analysis.

Spine Unit, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Inge Lehmanns Vej 6, 2100 Copenhagen, Denmark.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to compare the 2-year radiological outcome and revision rates in patients with ASD treated with either PSO or PLIF, when PLIF was used to improve sagittal balance.
Methods: In 2016, PLIF was introduced at our institution as an alternative method when restoring lumbar lordosis. We analyzed two cohorts of patients with ASD undergoing either: PSO in 2010-2015 or PLIF in 2016-2020, retrospectively.
Maintaining stability at the lumbosacral-pelvic region in adult spinal deformity surgery without sacroiliac joint fusion: are 4 pelvic screws superior to 2 pelvic screws?

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare a multiple pelvic screw fixation strategy (dual bilateral 4 pelvic screw fixation [4PvS]) with the use of single bilateral 2 pelvic screw fixation (2PvS), with the aim of addressing lumbosacral junction stability.
Methods: This analysis is a single-center, retrospective review of ASD patients treated between 2015 and 2021. All patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up and spinal fusion to the sacrum without sacroiliac fusion and met at least one radiographic and procedural criterion: pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis ≥ 20°, T1 pelvic angle ≥ 20°, sagittal vertical axis ≥ 7.
Postsurgical outcomes differ according to baseline sagittal alignment status even in patients achieving adequate correction relative to age-adjusted alignment target for adult spinal deformity.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Haeundae Bumin Hospital, Busan, Korea.
Background Context: Baseline severities of sagittal malalignment and degrees of pelvic compensation may affect postsurgical outcomes differently after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery, even if the patients achieved optimal correction of sagittal malalignment.
Purpose: To investigate whether postsurgical outcomes vary according to baseline sagittal alignment and pelvic compensation status in patients achieving adequate correction relative to age-adjusted alignment target in ASD surgery.
Study Design/setting: Retrospective study PATIENT SAMPLE: Patients who underwent ≥ 5-level fusion to the pelvis for ASD; achieved matched correction relative to age-adjusted pelvic incidence (PI)-lumbar lordosis (LL); and completed ≥ 2-year follow-up.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different reasons for revision surgery in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients affect their postoperative outcomes, revealing a high incidence of reoperations.
- A sample of 891 ASD patients was analyzed retrospectively, categorizing their revisions by cause, and assessing complications, radiographic results, and disability metrics.
- Findings suggest that different etiologies (mechanical, infection, wound, and SI pain) lead to varying outcomes, with mechanical issues showing less improvement over time compared to others.
Kinematic status of Bryan and Mobi-C artificial cervical discs post cervical hybrid surgery: a retrospective study.

Dongzhimen Hospital Afliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Beijing, 100700, China.
Objective: To examine the mid-term efficacy and imaging results of using the Mobi-C and Bryan implants after cervical hybrid surgery for 2-level cervical spondylolisthesis, and to observe their postoperative changes and differences in the flexion-extension center of rotation (FE-COR) for the anterior cervical disc replacement (ACDR) segment.
Methods: Patients who underwent cervical hybrid surgery between June 2014 and June 2019 were included in this study. The mJOA, NDI, and VAS scores were used to assess clinical outcomes, and the FE-COR of the ACDR segment was measured.
