Spine
-
A large-scale analysis of radiographical results of patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy and a review of the literature. ⋯ Sagittal alignment was slightly changed, with only a 1.8° increase in lordosis. The ROM of the cervical spine was preserved by 87.9%. This preservation of alignment and ROM might be attributable to improvements including early removal of the cervical orthosis, postoperative neck exercises, and some surgical modifications.
-
A prospective clinical study. ⋯ The EM can develop into remarkable structures with spondylosis and aging in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy, affecting surgical outcomes as well as successful decompression procedures. A sound understanding of the histomorphological features of the EM is required to obtain satisfactory surgical outcomes in the limited field afforded by minimally invasive surgery.
-
A retrospective study. ⋯ Based on the results of this study, PSO is considered a reliable and relatively safe procedure for the correction of fixed sagittal imbalance with multiple etiologies.
-
A retrospective review. ⋯ There is a significant relationship between patient diagnosis and blood loss during posterior spinal fusion surgery in children.
