This study evaluated the impact of the Landmark Crater (LC) method on pedicle perforation rates in robot-guided surgery for pediatric scoliosis for each pedicle diameter. ⋯ In robot-assisted surgery for pediatric scoliosis, the LC method enabled significantly lower pedicle perforation rates over the conventional method. Both the LC and conventional methods exhibited higher perforation rates for smaller pedicle diameters.

Case Reports
Isolated vertebral bone infarction following lumbar artery embolization- a case report.
To report a rare case of isolated lumbar vertebral body infarction following lumbar artery embolization for suspected retroperitoneal haemorrhage. ⋯ This unique case underscores the importance of considering vertebral body infarction as a potential complication following lumbar artery embolization. MRI was critical in early detection of the bone infarction, while CT confirmed the presence of embolization material. Awareness of this rare complication is crucial for prompt diagnosis and management.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of surgery in Kummell's disease (KD) to help us select the optimum surgical strategy. ⋯ The mainstream KD classification system has shortcomings, and completely following its treatment strategy may lead to poor prognosis. Compared to PKP, PVP is a better choice for type I patients. OCS is one of the important factors in surgical selection for type II patients. The Li's type III is mainly treated with PDOF but the overall condition of the body needs to be evaluated.

Cross-sectional Study. ⋯ According to the study data, proprioceptive sensory and motor control dysfunction in AIS is predicted to develop independently of spinal deformity.

To describe the clinical outcomes beyond pain relief of high-frequency spinal cord stimulation at 10 kHz (10 kHz SCS) in a patient with cervical myelopathy and drug-resistant chronic neuropathic pain with spastic tetraparesis. ⋯ To our knowledge, recovery from spasms and motor improvement in a spastic tetraparesis patient has never been reported before with 10 kHz SCS and possibly this new stimulation paradigm may overcome some performance limitations of traditional low-frequency SCS (LF-SCS). Treatment eliminated spasms at the lower limbs but not at the upper ones, thus suggesting that the location of the epidural leads could affect outcomes.
