Spine
-
A prospective cohort study with a 7-week follow-up of 113 patients with chronic neck pain undergoing physiotherapy. ⋯ N/A.
-
Retrospective review of a prospectively collected database. ⋯ Relative to primary cases, those undergoing revision correction of spinal deformity have a higher risk of many procedure-related complications with a longer hospital course despite similar baseline comorbidity burden and the in-hospital mortality rate. This study provides clinically useful data for surgeons to educate patients at risk for morbidity and mortality and direct future research to improve outcomes.

A retrospective comparative study. ⋯ Correction of scoliosis was significantly better ASF than PSF immediately postop. Greater loss of correction occurred with ASF at postop 10 years. Although shorter segments could be fused by ASF, there was no significant difference in the incidence of DDs. Pulmonary function test results improved in the P group and were restored in the A group during the perioperative period.
