The accuracy of the lateral vertebral notch-referred pedicle screw insertion technique in subaxial cervical spine: a human cadaver study.
This is a cadaver specimen study to confirm new pedicle screw (PS) entry point and trajectory for subaxial cervical PS insertion. ⋯ The accuracy of the notch-referred PS insertion in cadaveric subaxial cervical spine is satisfactory.

Review Meta AnalysisEffectiveness and safety of unilateral pedicle screw fixation in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF): a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of unilateral pedicle screw fixation in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) by comparing with bilateral pedicle screw fixation. ⋯ Based on this systematic review and meta-analysis, the unilateral fixation in TLIF may achieve a similar clinical outcome and reduce blood loss and operative time when compared with that in bilateral fixation. However, the unilateral fixation may produce lower fusion rate and more cage migration than bilateral fixation in TLIF.

Multicenter Study Comparative StudyIntraoperative blood pressure changes during cemented versus uncemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture: a multi-center cohort study : The effect of bone cement for bipolar hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients.
The purpose of this study was to compare the cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty with uncemented about the change of intraoperative blood pressure and the incidence of major complications in elderly patients with femoral neck fracture. ⋯ Intraoperative blood pressure did not change during cemented and uncemented bipolar hemiarthrplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture. If the standard modern cement technique was performed during operation, bone cement is a safe and acceptable for elderly patients who have a lot of medical histories.

Comparative StudyDorsal versus lateral plate fixation of finger proximal phalangeal fractures: a retrospective study.
Unstable proximal phalanx fractures are relatively common injuries but consensus of standard treatment is lacking. Outcomes following plate fixation are highly variable, and it remains unclear which factors are predictive for poorer results. The purpose of this study was to compare dorsal and lateral plate fixation of finger proximal phalangeal fractures with regard to factors that influence the outcome. ⋯ Therapeutic, retrospective comparative, level III.
