A retrospective review. ⋯ Based on PROMIS PF scores, patients with functional comorbidities do not recover to the same extent and are less likely to achieve an MCID compared to patients without baseline functional comorbidities. PROMIS-PF can help benchmark patients along their recovery, and other metrics may be needed to better understand the recovery of patients with functional comorbidities.

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 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.

This was a single-center prospective clinical and radiographic analysis of pedicle screw instrumentation with Robotic-assisted navigation (RAN) and augmented reality (AR). ⋯ RAN and AR both achieved high accuracy in lumbosacral pedicle screw placement, proving reliable for this procedure. However, RAN resulted in significantly more Grade-A screw placements than AR.
