At What Point Should the Thoracolumbar Region Be Addressed in Patients Undergoing Corrective Cervical Deformity Surgery?
(Spine, 2021-10)<h4>Study design</h4>Retrospective cohort study.<h4>Objective</h4>The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of cervical to thoracolumbar ratios on poor outcomes in cervical deformity (CD) corrective surgery.<h4>Summary ... -
Author Correction: Sagittal age-adjusted score (SAAS) for adult spinal deformity (ASD) more effectively predicts surgical outcomes and proximal junctional kyphosis than previous classifications.
(Spine deformity, 2023-03)In Fig. 4 of this article signs for points associated in all 3 components are incorrect and should be reversed, e.g. + 2 should be − 2 and vise versa; Fig. 4 should have appeared as shown below. The original article has ... -
Baseline Frailty Status Influences Recovery Patterns and Outcomes Following Alignment Correction of Cervical Deformity.
(Neurosurgery, 2021-05)<h4>Background</h4>Frailty severity may be an important determinant for impaired recovery after cervical spine deformity (CD) corrective surgery.<h4>Objective</h4>To evaluate postop clinical recovery among CD patients between ... -
Calibration of a comprehensive predictive model for the development of proximal junctional kyphosis and failure in adult spinal deformity patients with consideration of contemporary goals and techniques.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2023-06)<h4>Objective</h4>The objective of this study was to calibrate an updated predictive model incorporating novel clinical, radiographic, and prophylactic measures to assess the risk of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and ... -
Cervical mismatch: the normative value of T1 slope minus cervical lordosis and its ability to predict ideal cervical lordosis.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2018-10)OBJECTIVE: Numerous studies have attempted to delineate the normative value for T1S-CL (T1 slope minus cervical lordosis) as a marker for both cervical deformity and a goal for correction similar to how PI-LL (pelvic ... -
