Biomechanical Testing. ⋯ Surgical construct stiffness during a VCR is multifactorial. Larger rod diameter, increased number of fixation points, stiffer rod material, and increased number of rods across the resection site increase the construct stiffness. With minimal points of fixation using Co-Cr rods, increasing rod diameter does not impart greater construct stiffness unless additional fixation points are included.

Retrospective study. ⋯ This study developed deep learning models for detecting fresh vertebral compression fractures, demonstrating high accuracy.

Retrospective review of cohort studies. ⋯ Pain domains, walking, standing, and personal care were the subsections with the highest predictability for patient satisfaction. These findings on the correlation between different ODI subscales and patient satisfaction are valuable for improving preoperative education, addressing disability, and ensuring postoperative satisfaction.
