The identification of low-pathogenic bacteria on removed spinal implants and implications for antimicrobial prophylaxis.
Brain Spine
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 400, 69120, Heidelberg, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the role of low-pathogenic bacteria from removed spinal implants and evaluates the effectiveness of single-dose antibiotics before surgery.
- A retrospective analysis of 93 patients found that bacterial presence in loosened implants (41%) was not significantly different from non-loosened ones (27%), highlighting a possible link between bacterial resistance and antibiotic choice.
- The results indicate a need for reevaluating current antibiotic prophylaxis due to the prevalence of both sensitive and resistant bacteria, emphasizing the importance of further research on low-virulence bacteria in non-loosened implants.
Retrieval of fractured implant screw: A dental technique.

Removing a fractured implant screw, though a relatively rare occurrence, presents a significant challenge for clinicians. Protecting the internal surface of the implant from damage during the retrieval of the fractured fragment is critical to avoid additional complications. A novel, cost-effective, and conservative technique for retrieving fractured implant screws using a small-diameter dental prophylactic brush is described.

Eur Radiol
November 2024
Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice Pasteur 2, Nice, France.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the early functional rehabilitation outcomes following percutaneous consolidation for pelvic ring tumor lesions.
Materials And Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, patients with pelvic bone tumor lesions, whether primitive or metastatic, underwent percutaneous consolidation (cementoplasty, screw fixation, or both). The primary outcome was postoperative weight-bearing ambulation.
Rigid intramedullary nailing of lower limb segments in children and adolescents with metabolic bone disease.
J Pediatr Orthop B
November 2024
Department of Paediatric Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust, Sheffield, UK.
Article Synopsis
- * A study conducted at a UK pediatric institution reviewed the medical records of 27 patients who underwent this treatment over 11 years, focusing on their preoperative management, surgical indications, and outcomes.
- * Results showed that all fractures healed successfully, though complications like implant issues and one case of nonunion during limb lengthening were noted, highlighting the effectiveness and safety of rigid intramedullary nailing when carefully planned within a multidisciplinary team.
Biomechanical study of the stability of posterior cervical expansive open-door laminoplasty combined with bilateral C4/5 foraminotomy and short-segment lateral mass screw fixation: a finite element analysis.
J Orthop Surg Res
October 2024
Department of Orthopedics, Qilu Hospital, Shandong University, Jinan, Shandong, 250012, China.
Article Synopsis
- - A new surgical approach combining posterior cervical expansive open-door laminoplasty (EODL) and bilateral C4/5 foraminotomy with short-segment lateral mass screw fixation is proposed to prevent C5 palsy while maintaining cervical stability.
- - The study developed and tested five models of cervical vertebrae to evaluate the biomechanical properties of this new method and compare it to traditional surgical techniques by simulating different motion states and applying specific forces.
- - Results indicated that the new technique (Model C) had the best range of motion (ROM) in the C4/5 segment, suggesting it effectively improves stability and reduces stress compared to the other models tested.
