Randomized Controlled Trial
TRanexamic Acid In Pediatric Scoliosis Surgery (TRIPSS): A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing High Dose and Low Dose Tranexamic Acid in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) Undergoing Posterior Spinal Fusion Surgery.
Prospective randomized double-blinded trial. ⋯ Low-dose TXA was as efficacious as high-dose TXA in reducing blood loss and allogenic blood transfusion for AIS patients undergoing PSF surgery.Level of Evidence: 1.

Case report. ⋯ We highlight the utility of routine biopsy during kyphoplasty especially in patients with known history of malignancy. We emphasize that presumptions about the etiology of a VCF are difficult to make with multiple risk factors and that routine biopsy prevents incorrect presumptions such as in this case.Level of Evidence: 5.

Retrospective study. ⋯ CMCT is significantly slower in both neck flexion and neck extension than in the neutral neck position. These findings reflect the dynamic cervical cord impingement.Level of Evidence: 4.
