Review Case Reports
Cost-utility Analysis of Neoadjuvant Teriparatide Therapy in Osteopenic Patients Undergoing Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.
A cost-utility analysis study. ⋯ Neoadjuvant teriparatide is a cost-effective strategy to reduce postoperative complications in patients with osteopenia undergoing ASD surgery.

Multicenter Study
Upper versus Lower Lumbar Lordosis Corrections in relation to Pelvic Tilt - An Essential Element in Surgical Planning for Sagittal Plane Deformity.
Retrospective study of a multicenter Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) Database. ⋯ In the surgical planning for ASD, our data demonstrated significant correlational difference between corrections in the upper (L1-4) and lower (L4-S1) lumbar spine and PT changes. These calculations can be useful in planning sagittal plane corrections for ASD.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Automated Segmentation of spinal Muscles from Upright Open MRI Using a Multi-Scale Pyramid 2D Convolutional Neural Network.
Randomized trial. ⋯ This study represents a fundamental step toward the development of an automated spinal muscle properties extraction pipeline, which will ultimately allow clinicians to have easier access to patient-specific simulations, diagnosis, and treatment.
