Spine deformity
-
Cross-sectional. ⋯ Level 4.
-
Retrospective analysis of propensity score-matched (PSM) observational cohorts. ⋯ Level III.
-
A retrospective study. ⋯ This study showed that a high complication rate at the lumbosacral junction was observed when the L5 or S1 was selected as the distal fusion end in long corrective fusion. On the other hand, the lumbosacral complication rate was low when using iliac screw as the lower fusion end. Thus, we recommend spinopelvic fixation using iliac screw as the lower fusion end of long corrective fusion for the adult spinal deformity surgery, with the high rate of failure in our patients with long fusions stopped at L5 and S1.
-
Retrospective analysis of peer review comments. ⋯ Level IV.
-
Retrospective comparative cohort. ⋯ Implementation of standardized RRP resulted in reduced pain, faster mobilization, reduced frequency of opioid-related side-effects, and earlier discharge.
