Background Failure of suture anchor fixation in rotator cuff repair can occur at different
interfaces. Prior studies show fixation at the bone-anchor interface can be augmented using …

Background: Integrated lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) devices have been shown to
successfully stabilize the spine and avoid complications related to posterior fixation. However…

Spinal deformity surgery represents one of the most challenging environments in which to
achieve bone fusion. High rates of pseudarthroses, limited quantities of available autograft …

This study examined the effect of washer usage on initial pedicle screw fixation and on the
salvage of replaced pedicle screws, and the effect of minor adjustments of pedicle screws on …

When health care costs continued to escalate in the face of declining reimbursement, a
paradigm shift in the delivery of health care occurred. This shift involved the widespread growth …
