Case Reports
Projected Lifetime Cancer Risk Associated with Intraoperative Computed Tomography for Lumbar Spine Surgery.
Retrospective cross-sectional study. ⋯ Intraoperative CT use significantly increases cancer risk compared with conventional intraoperative radiography for patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusions. As emerging technologies in spine surgery continue to proliferate and leverage intraoperative CT for cross-sectional imaging data, strategies must be developed by surgeons, institutions, and medical technology companies to mitigate long-term cancer risks.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Outcome and Health Related Quality of Life after Combined Anteroposterior Surgery vs Anterior Surgery alone in Subaxial Cervical Spine Fractures: Analysis of a National Multicenter Dataset.
Observational study on prospectively collected data. ⋯ Patients operated on with anteroposterior or anterior surgery for subaxial cervical spine fractures are equally satisfied and report similar health-related quality of life measures.
