Review Case Reports
Factor XI Deficiency in a Patient with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy.
Case report. ⋯ Factor XI deficiency patients may develop excessive bleeding after trauma or surgery. Preoperative examination with prolonged APTT should be pursued until a diagnosis of is made. Under diagnosis of Factor XI deficiency, meticulous attentions are required for perioperative bleeding management including postoperative hematoma in spinal surgery.Level of Evidence: 5.

Single-center prospective non-randomized matched cohort comparison. ⋯ The SSP facilitates significantly shorter wait times for MRI and promotes nonoperative treatment strategies. Preoperative patient satisfaction is significantly higher among SSP patients, but there were no significant differences in surgical outcomes.Level of Evidence: 3.

This was a subanalysis of an international, multicenter, open-label study. ⋯ Results from the analysis suggest that denosumab is potentially effective treatment for patients with GCTB of the spine including the sacrum. The adverse event profile was consistent with the full study population.Level of Evidence: 2.

Retrospective cohort study. ⋯ The overall outcome of physical well-being improvement is decided within 3 months postoperatively, in proportion to the recovery in myelopathy, with a relatively high chance of meaningful improvement over the next 21 months. The outcome of improvement in mental well-being is decided within 3 months postoperatively, independently from the recovery in myelopathy, with a low chance of meaningful improvement over the next 21 months.Level of Evidence: 3.
