Prospective, cross-sectional cohort study. ⋯ Level III.
-
Retrospective review of prospectively collected data. ⋯ With an AUC of 0.829, NDI showed an excellent discriminative ability. Patients with NDI ≤21 are expected to achieve PASS following degenerative cervical spine surgery.

Observational Study
Perinatal Disorders and Small Birthweight are Significantly Associated With Small Vertebral Neural Canal Size in a Contemporary Pediatric Autopsy Sample.
A retrospective, nonblinded, single-center observational study. ⋯ Level 2.

Systematic Review. ⋯ Our analysis is the largest study to date on pedicle screw placement. Pedicle screw placement through robotics was found to be superior due to its low misplacement rates compared with other modalities. Intraoperative 3D fluoroscopic navigation was found to have comparable misplacement rates. In addition, pedicle screw placement accuracy with robotics has continued to improve over time. This speaks to both the stability of the technology and the potential for continued improvement with new and more accurate robotic systems.
