Sagittal Imbalance Does Not Influence Cup Anteversion in Total Hip Arthroplasty Dislocations.
Retrospective Cohort. ⋯ A majority of patients with a THA dislocation demonstrated abnormal sagittal balance. However, sagittal balance was not associated with acetabular cup anteversion. As such, the relationship between spinal deformity and dislocation rates after THA may not be because of inaccurate cup orientation.

Comparative StudyImpact of Epidural Versus General Anesthesia on Major Lumbar Surgery in Elderly Patients.
This was a retrospective comparative study. ⋯ There was an association between those who received EA and superior perioperative outcomes. However, some concerns including airway security, operation duration, and obesity, must be carefully evaluated. In addition, it should be noted that this study was retrospective and selection bias may probably exist which may interfere with the results.
