Background: Degenerative cervical myelopathy is one of the most common causes of spinal cord dysfunction. Cervical laminoplasty is an excellent surgical procedure that address the underlying pathology along with motion preservation with various advantages over other surgical options. While the advantages are intuitive and are being proven in multiple recent studies, concerns regarding failure still remains precluding wider utilization despite evidence to the contrary.

Background: Patients diagnosed with severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) often experience reduced pulmonary function and lung volume due to deformities in the spine and ribcage. Presurgical halo-pelvic traction (HPT) has been used to treat severe scoliosis before second-stage surgery. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of studies utilizing computed tomography (CT) scans to evaluate changes in lung volume post-HPT.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a worldwide disease which seriously affects the global public health. Spinal TB is the most common extra-pulmonary TB and may cause vertebral bone destruction, collapse, kyphosis and even paralysis. Anti-TB chemotherapy is considered the cornerstone treatment of spinal TB and surgery is often required for patients with severe kyphosis, impaired neurological function or spinal instability.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, The Warren Alpert Medical School, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA.

Adult spinal deformity (ASD) commonly affects older adults, with up to 68% prevalence in those over 60, and is often complicated by osteoporosis, which reduces bone mineral density (BMD) and increases surgical risks. Osteoporotic patients undergoing ASD surgery face higher risks of complications like hardware failure, pseudoarthrosis, and proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK). Medical management with antiresorptive medications (e.

Institute of Orthopaedic Research and Biomechanics, Trauma Research Centre Ulm, Ulm University Medical Centre, Helmholtzstraße 14, 89081, Ulm, Germany.

Scoliosis instrumentation length depends on the type and degree of deformity and the individual preference of the surgeon. This in vitro study aimed to explore effects of increasing instrumentation length on adjacent segment mobility and intervertebral disc loading. Six fresh frozen human spine specimens (C7-sacrum) with entire rib cage from young adult donors (26-45 years) were loaded with pure moments of 5 Nm.

Introduction: Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) is a frequently employed technique for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). However, there is still controversy regarding whether PVP with different courses affects clinical efficacy. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of different courses of OVCF on early clinical and radiological outcomes after PVP.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the risk of reoperation in patients with spine deformities undergoing major surgeries from the thoracic to pelvis region over a 10-year period, using a large dataset.
  • Out of 7,062 patients, the overall reoperation rate was found to be 23.2%, with specific rates of 16.9% at 2 years and 22.1% at 5 years; factors like preoperative kyphosis and extensive instrumentation were linked to higher risk.
  • Key findings indicated that using interbody cages reduced reoperation risk, while age, medical conditions, and the presence of osteotomies did not significantly affect outcomes.

Objective: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a debilitating rheumatic condition that significantly impairs mobility and quality of life through chronic inflammation and spinal fusion. The aim of this study is to investigate the optimal sequencing of spinal osteotomy and total hip replacement (THR) as treatment options, a topic that remains a subject of debate among medical professionals.

Methods: In a retrospective cohort study spanning from 2017 to 2021, we assessed adult patients with AS who underwent both spinal osteotomy and THR, outcome measures involved radiographic assessments like Global Cobb angle, thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), lumbar lordosis (LL), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), and sacral slope (SS), as well as clinical metrics such as the Harris hip score.

Background: With the increasing prevalence of adult spinal deformity (ASD) in the aging population, the need for corrective surgery has surged, highlighting the importance of preventing mechanical complications (MC) such as junctional kyphosis/failure and rod breakage. The Roussouly classification, which categorizes natural variations in spinal posture, may hold predictive value in assessing the risk of these complications, as it guides the restoration of sagittal alignment based on a patient's preoperative spinal shape.

Methods: PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (pages 1-20) were searched through August 2024 to find articles comparing the incidence of mechanical complications between patients who were matched and mismatched to their ideal Roussouly shape after surgery for ASD.
