Case Reports Clinical TrialA new anterior-posterior surgical approach for the treatment of cervical facet dislocations.
The preliminary results from a new anterior-posterior surgical approach are reported. ⋯ This reported surgical approach is an efficient and safe way for the treatment of traumatic cervical facet dislocations.

The effect of a mismatched center of rotation on the clinical outcomes and flexion-extension range of motion: lumbar total disk replacement using mobidisc at a 5.5-year follow-up.
Retrospective clinical and radiographic assessment of 21 levels of 18 consecutive patients treated using total lumbar disk replacement (TDR) for degenerative disk disease. ⋯ The present study found that lumbar TDR using the Mobidisc prosthesis resulted in good clinical and radiologic outcomes and good patient satisfaction. Furthermore, we found that patient satisfaction, function, and ROM preservation correlated with correct COR positioning of the prosthesis.

Comparative StudyRelative benefit of TLIF versus PSF stratified by diagnostic indication.
Case-matched retrospective. ⋯ Clinical outcome was not significantly altered with TLIF as compared with PSF in patients with spondylolisthesis or disk pathology. However, TLIF resulted in better outcomes at 2 years postoperatively in patients with postdecompression instability.

Comparative StudyThe existence of intravertebral cleft impact on outcomes of nonacute osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures patients treated by percutaneous kyphoplasty: a comparative study.
A retrospective comparative study. ⋯ Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were more sensitivity to diagnose IVC sign than X-ray. PKP could improve pain, functional activity, KA, and anterior height of both IVC and non-IVC groups, however, there was more cleft pattern of cement and higher intradiscal cement leakage in the IVC group.
