A retrospective cohort study. ⋯ These findings support using preliminary trauma variables for early prognostication of ambulation following a TSCI, allowing for tailored individual interventions.Level of Evidence: 3.
-
Prospective multicenter cohort study. ⋯ The alarm point of IONM by the Monitoring WG of the JSSR appeared to be valid for each disease in Group HR. Meanwhile, applying the JSSR alarm point for Group C potentially needed attention.Level of Evidence: 3.

Multicenter Study
Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods Graduation: Deformity Control with High Complication Rate.
A multicenter retrospective review of consecutive series of patients. ⋯ Treatment of growing spine deformities with MCGR provides adequate control of spine deformity it is comparable to previously published data about TGR. The overall high complications rate over time and specifically implant related complications.Level of Evidence: 4.
-
Two fresh-frozen and six formalin-fixed cadavers were included in the study. ⋯ Our study suggested that application of transferring T9 or T11 VR to L2 VR and T10 or T12 VR to L3 VR in restoring lower limb function is anatomically feasible.Level of Evidence: 5.
-
Prospective clinical pilot study and cadaveric study. ⋯ A solution injected into the cervical retrolaminar plane can diffuse in the cranial-caudal axis to C2-T3 and laterally to the facet joints and the cervical neural foramen. Our pilot study confirmed the feasibility of our study protocol. Future studies are needed to support our early results.Level of Evidence: 4.
