STUDY DESIGN: A series of 32 patients, submitted to a tailored stability-preserving micro-endoscopic decompression for lumbar spine degenerative disease was retrospectively analyzed. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to explore the effectiveness of a less invasive posterior spine decompression in complex deformities. We studied the potential advantages of the micro-endoscopic approach, supplemented by the piezoelectric technique, to decompress both sides of the vertebral canal, from a one side approach to preserve spine stability, ensuring an adequate neural decompression...

INTRODUCTION: Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) can treat spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease and pseudoarthrosis. This approach facilitates complete discectomy, disc space distraction, indirect decompression of neural foramina and placement of large interbody devices. Several intra- and postoperative complications can be attributed to the anterior approach: vascular/visceral injury, hypogastric plexus injury and urogenital consequences. Spine-specific complications include implant migration, graft failure, pseudoarthrosis and persistent symptomology...

BACKGROUND: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) occurs from progressive anterior column collapse due to disc space desiccation, compression fractures, and autofusion across disc spaces. Anterior column realignment (ACR) is increasingly recognized as a powerful tool to address ASD by progressively lengthening the anterior column through the release of the anterior longitudinal ligament during lateral interbody approaches. Here, we describe the application of minimally invasive ACR through an oblique antepsoas corridor for deformity correction in a patient with adult degenerative scoliosis and significant sagittal imbalance...

Scoliosis is a medical condition marked by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine, typically forming a sideways "S" or "C" shape. Mechanically, it manifests as a three-dimensional deformation of the spine, potentially leading to diverse clinical issues such as pain, diminished lung capacity, and postural abnormalities. This research specifically concentrates on the Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) population, as existing literature indicates a tendency for this type of scoliosis to deteriorate over time...

The adequacy of screw anchorage is a critical factor in achieving successful spinal fusion. This study aimed to use machine learning algorithms to identify critical variables and predict pedicle screw loosening after degenerative lumbar fusion surgery. A total of 552 patients who underwent primary transpedicular lumbar fixation for lumbar degenerative disease were included. The LASSO method identified key features associated with pedicle screw loosening. Patient clinical characteristics, intraoperative variables, and radiographic parameters were collected and used to construct eight machine learning models, including a training set (80% of participants) and a test set (20% of participants)...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Adult scoliosis is traditionally treated with long-segment fusion, which provides strong radiographic correction and significant improvements in health-related quality of life but comes at a high morbidity cost. This systematic review seeks to examine the literature behind limited interventions in adult scoliosis patients and examine the best approaches to treatment. METHODS: This is a MEDLINE- and PubMed-based literature search that ultimately included 49 articles with a total of 21,836 subjects...

OBJECTIVES: Severity of degenerative scoliosis (DS) is assessed by measuring the Cobb angle on anteroposterior radiographs. However, MRI images are often available to study the degenerative spine. This retrospective study aims to develop and evaluate the reliability of a novel automatic method that measures coronal Cobb angles on lumbar MRI in DS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Vertebrae and intervertebral discs were automatically segmented using a 3D AI algorithm, trained on 447 lumbar MRI series...

This study is designed to compare the extent of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) degeneration at total hip arthroplasty (THA) for two pathologies: osteoarthritis of the hip (OA) and osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ON). We also assessed the prevalence of SIJ degeneration in patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis or degenerative scoliosis. A total of 138 hips from 138 patients (69 OA and 69 ON) were assessed in this study, including 66 hips affected by OA secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip. The degenerative changes in the SIJ and lumbar spine were evaluated prior to THA using radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans, showing 9 instances of spondylolisthesis and 38 of degenerative scoliosis...

BACKGROUND: Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is still the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis, it can lead to inaccurate bone mineral density (BMD) measurements due to lumbar degeneration and scoliosis. Many researchers have investigated diagnostic methods for osteoporosis in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS). This study aimed to investigate the differences between conventional vertebral bone quality (VBQ) scores and modified VBQ scores in patients with DLS and the influence of lumbar scoliosis on VBQ scores...

OBJECTIVE: Short-segment fusion (SSF) is an effective surgical option for appropriately selected patients with de novo degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DNDLS). Considering that DNDLS is frequently accompanied by multisegment degeneration and potential instability across the entire lumbar segments, it is inevitable that unhealthy segments remain after SSF, thereby increasing the potential risk of adjacent-segment disease (ASD) occurrence. Therefore, the authors aimed to identify the risk factors for ASD in patients with DNDLS who underwent SSF...

INTRODUCTION: There is a paucity of literature that examines how the abnormal spinopelvic alignment of scoliosis affects outcomes after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the absence of a lumbar fusion. METHODS: Patients with a history of scoliosis (idiopathic, adolescent, degenerative, or juvenile) without fusion and those without a history of scoliosis who underwent primary THA were identified using a large national database. Ninety-day incidence of various medical complications, emergency department (ED) visit, and readmission and 1-year incidence of surgery-related complications and cost of care were evaluated in both the scoliosis and control cohorts...

Spinal robotics have the potential to improve the consistency of outcomes in adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. The objective of this paper is to assess the accuracy of pedicle and S2AI screws placed with robotic guidance in ASD patients. PubMed Central, Google Scholar, and an institutional library database were queried until May 2023. Articles were included if they described ASD correction via robotic guidance and pedicle and/or S2AI screw accuracy. Articles were excluded if they described pediatric/adolescent spinal deformity or included outcomes for both ASD and non-ASD patients without separating the data...
