A retrospective review. ⋯ Choosing minimally rotated (Gd 0/1) TV on prone XR saves levels without sacrificing radiographic outcomes.
-
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.

Cross-sectional study. ⋯ This is the first study to create a PROM addressing the functional impact of cervical stiffness following surgical arthrodesis. The CSRS-CSDI was a reliable and valid measure of postoperative stiffness impact on patient function. This may prove useful in counseling patients regarding their expected outcomes with further investigation demonstrating its value in a prospective fashion.
