Spine
-
Retrospective analysis of a prospective multicenter Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) registry. ⋯ ASD surgery and achieving ideal postoperative alignment do not prevent the ongoing "aging" of the non-instrumented spine. Both thoracic and global sagittal alignments deteriorate over time. Although no functional decline has been observed, the implications of these changes for surgical planning remain uncertain.

Retrospective, observational study. ⋯ The mNGS test exhibits rapidity, efficiency, and accuracy, rendering it of immense diagnostic and therapeutic value in the realm of spinal infection diseases.
-
Retrospective study. ⋯ This study validated the efficacy of SAAS system to differentiate PJK/F development and good clinical outcomes. However, its differentiating power seems to be largely attributable to the function of the PI-LL component, as the PI-LL correction status better predicted PJK/F risk and clinical outcomes than SAAS.
