Neurospine
December 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Haeundae Bumin Hospital, Busan, Korea.
Objective: To identify the risk factors for proximal junctional failure (PJF) after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery despite ideal sagittal correction according to age-adjusted alignment target.
Methods: The study included patients who underwent low thoracic to pelvic fusion for ASD and obtained ideal correction according to age-adjusted pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis. PJF was defined either radiographically as a proximal junctional angle (PJA) of >28° plus a difference in PJA of >22° or clinically as revision surgery for proximal junctional complications.

Department of Dermatology, Cosmetology and Venereology, Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University, Shenzhen 518101, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: Monkeypox (Mpox), is a disease of global public health concern, as it does not affect only countries in western and central Africa.
Aim: To assess Burundi healthcare workers (HCWs)s' level of knowledge and confidence in the diagnosis and management of Mpox.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study an online survey designed mainly from the World Health Organization course distributed among Burundi HCWs from June-July 2023.
Asian Spine J
December 2024
Department of Spine Surgery and Orthopaedics, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, China.
Study Design: A retrospective study.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness of en-bloc direct vertebrae rotation (DVR) to non-DVR for the correction of Lenke 5C.
Overview Of Literature: The primary goal of posterior correction is to preserve the lumbar spine and achieve a well-balanced spine.
Asian Spine J
December 2024
Department of Spine Surgery, Bombay Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Mumbai, India.
Study Design: A retrospective comparative study.
Purpose: To validate the hypothesis that a combination of multilevel Ponte osteotomy (PO) with intraoperative traction (IOT) results in a better correction than IOT alone in high-magnitude curves in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and does not possess an attributable risk of neurological injury.
Overview Of Literature: On a comprehensive review of the literature, the choice of technique adopted for curves between 65° and 100° remains controversial with no major consensus favoring one technique over the other.
