BACKGROUND CONTEXT Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) of the lumbar spine is
used as an alternative to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in assessing bone mineral …

Purpose Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) is an alternate imaging method to dual X-ray
absorptiometry to measure bone mineral density (BMD). One advantage of QCT is that it …

Study Design. Retrospective case series. Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate
the association of Modic type endplate changes with the risk of severe subsidence after …

Background Lateral lumbar interbody fusion can be performed without supplemental posterior
instrumentation. Previous reports have shown favorable results with stand-alone lateral …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT It has been reported that degenerative disc disease (DDD) is
associated with higher spinal bone mineral density (BMD) based on previous studies that used …

The number of intramedullary procedures to treat leg length discrepancy (LLD) has risen in
the past decade and this has led to increased complications such as nail breakage. The aim …

BACKGROUND: Patient positioning is an integral part of surgical planning, and numerous
variations have been suggested to optimize the prone position. So far, however, little attention …

Bone mineral density (BMD) is not the sole predictor of fracture development. Qualitative
markers including bone collagen maturity contribute to bone fragility. Bone and related type I …

Purpose: To present the off-label use of an iliac side branch device to connect an accessory
right renal artery to a bifurcated endograft in infrarenal aortic aneurysm repair. Case Report: …

Purpose To describe postoperative height changes and identify the predictive factors of
spinal height (SH) changes among patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) who …
