A case-control study. ⋯ On evaluating spinopelvic mobility, we found that SIJ-RP was related to hypomobility of the sacrum, which could indicate the hypermobility of the sacroiliac joint.
-
Retrospective review. ⋯ Compared with patients with successful pelvic compensation, those with failed pelvic compensation showed lower postoperative improvements in clinical and radiographic outcomes. Therefore, it is important to consider pelvic compensation when planning surgical correction of deformities. Distinct surgical approaches, including overcorrection of the PI-lumbar lordosis mismatch or global sagittal alignment, should be attempted to ensure postoperative symptom improvement.
-
Retrospective cohort. ⋯ Robotics for minimally invasive TLIF, compared with navigation, leads to a significant reduction in radiation exposure both to the surgeon and patient, with no significant difference in the total OR time.

A retrospective cohort study. ⋯ Patients with history of depression or anxiety demonstrate less improvement in patient-reported outcomes and a higher revision rate after posterior cervical fusion, highlighting the importance of mental health on clinical outcomes after spine surgery.
