Study Design. Systematic review. Objective. To review the published literature on the use of
pedicle screws in pediatric spinal deformity to quantify the risks and complications …

Study Design. The Morbidity and Mortality database of the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)
was queried as to the incidence and type of complications as reported by its members for …

Anterior cervical decompression and fusion with anterior plating of the cervical spine is a
well-accepted treatment for cervical radiculopathy. Recently, to minimise the extent of surgery, …

Purpose Three column thoracic osteotomy (TCTO) is effective to correct rigid thoracic
deformities, however, reasons for residual postoperative spinal deformity are poorly defined. Our …

Purpose Predictors of marked improvement versus failure to improve following surgery for
adult scoliosis have not been identified. Our objective was to identify factors that distinguish …

Purpose Major peri-operative complications for adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery remain
common. However, risk factors have not been clearly defined. Our objective was to identify …

Optimal outcome in spine surgery is dependent of the coordination of efforts by the surgeon,
anesthesiologist, and neurophysiologist. This is perhaps best illustrated by the rising use of …

Study Design. Retrospective analysis of a prospectively followed cohort. Objective. Long-term
evaluation of patients with anterior stabilization for dislocations of the cervical spine. …

Introduction Obtaining a fusion, especially to the sacrum for adult deformity correction
remains a challenge. Prior to modern fixation techniques, the reported fusion rates for adult …

Object Lumbopelvic fixation provides biomechanical support to the base of the long constructs
used for adult spinal deformity. However, the failure rate of the lumbopelvic fixation and its …
