Retrospective cohort study. Odontoid synchondrosis fracture is rare, and there is a paucity of literature on its surgical treatments. This case series study analyzed patients treated with C1 to C2 internal fixation with or without anterior atlantoaxial release and discussed the clinical effectiveness of the procedure. Data were retrospectively coll...

Retrospective comparative study. This study compares supine vs bending flexibility radiographs and evaluates their ability to predict residual postoperative lumbar curvature after selective thoracic fusion for Lenke 1 and 2 curves across different lumbar modifiers (A, B, and C) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). This was a retrospective revi...

Multicenter, international prospective study. This study investigated the clinical outcome up to 2 years after multi-level spinal deformity surgery in the elderly by reporting the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of EuroQol 5-dimensions (EQ-5D), EQ-VAS, and residential status. As an ancillary study of 219 patients ≥60 years with spina...

Cross-sectional radioanatomic study. To determine the feasibility of performing an anterior column realignment (ACR) using an anterior-to-psoas (ATP) approach at L1-L5. Axial magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the L1-L5 disc levels obtained at a single institution were obtained and analyzed. The feasibility of performing an ACR was assessed using a...

A retrospective case-control study. This study aimed to compare the effects of the Wiltse approach of pedicle screw fixation (PSF) either in combination with or without vertebroplasty (VP) in the treatment of Genant III degree osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures (Genant III-OTLFs). A retrospective study of Genant III-OTLFs was performed from Janua...

A retrospective study. To develop a new MRI scoring system to assess patients' clinical characteristics, outcomes and complications. A retrospective 1-year follow-up study of 366 patients with cervical spondylosis from 2017 to 2021. The CCCFLS scores (cervical curvature and balance (CC), spinal cord curvature (SC), spinal cord compression ratio (CR...

Retrospective cohort study. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is often regarded as the gold standard for spinal pathology, as it provides good structural visualisation. SPECT-CT, however, provides combined structural and functional information. There is a paucity of literature comparing SPECT-CT with MRI in the spine. Our aim was to determine whethe...

Retrospective cohort study. The primary objective was to evaluate the impact of the upper instrumented level (UIV) being at C2 vs C3 in posterior cervical construct on patient reported outcomes (PROs) up to 24 months after surgery for cervical degenerative myelopathy (DCM). Secondary objectives were to compare operative time, intra-operative blood ...

Retrospective Upright MRI Study. Determine the relationship between lumbar disc herniation and presence of the nerve root sedimentation sign on upright kinematic MRI patients. T2-weighted axial upright kMRI images of 100 patients with the presence of disc herniation in at least 1 lumbar disc between L1/L2 and L5/S1 were obtained. Sedimentation sign...

Retrospective cohort study. Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) results in numerical alterations of the lumbar and sacral segments. Literature concerning true prevalence, associated disc degeneration, and variation in numerous anatomical landmarks concerning LSTV is lacking. This is a retrospective cohort study. The prevalence of LSTV was dete...
