Multicenter Study Observational Study
The Utility of Transcranial Stimulated Motor-evoked Potential Alerts in Cervical Spine Surgery Varies Based on Preoperative Motor Status.
A prospective multicenter observational study. ⋯ The utility of Tc-MEP in patients with a preoperative severe motor status was enhanced, even in those without high-risk spine surgery. Regardless of the motor status, appropriate interventions following Tc-MEP alerts may prevent postoperative paralysis.

Factors Affecting the Accuracy of Pedicle Screw Placement in Robot-Assisted Surgery: A Multi-Center Study.
Retrospective multicenter. ⋯ Level III.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Assessment of Fusion after Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Using Convolutional Neural Network Algorithm.
A convolutional neural network (CNN) is a deep learning (DL) model specialized for image processing, analysis, and classification. ⋯ The CNN algorithm for fusion assessment after ACDF trained using lateral cervical radiographs showed a relatively high diagnostic accuracy of 89.5% and is expected to be a useful aid in detecting pseudarthrosis.

This was a preclinical study. ⋯ This study demonstrates sex-dependent differences in bone regeneration induced by rhBMP-2. Further investigation is needed to uncover the extent of and mechanisms underlying these sex differences, particularly at different doses of rhBMP-2.

A retrospective study. ⋯ The FSPA is a fixed parameter which is not dependent on position. A reduction of the FSPA increases the risk for PJK. The FSPA can be adjusted through PI-LL and LDI. Thus, surgeons should increase the FSPA by adjusting the PI-LL and LDI during ASD surgery to prevent PJK.
