Double-blinded, prospective laboratory animal study. ⋯ These results demonstrate that spine surgery for unilateral laminectomy induces central sensitization that results in postoperative pain hypersensitivity. Intraoperative SCS after laminectomy may be able to mitigate the development of this hypersensitivity in appropriately selected cases.

A retrospective cohort study. ⋯ Cranially directed UIV screw angles increased the odds of PJK in patients with lower thoracic UIV. Meticulous attention should be paid to the lower thoracic UIV screw angle to mitigate the risk of PJK in ASD.
