Assessment of Surgical Treatment Strategies for Moderate to Severe Cervical Spinal Deformity Reveals Marked Variation in Approaches, Osteotomies, and Fusion Levels.
(World neurosurgery, 2016-07)<h4>Objective</h4>Although previous reports suggest that surgery can improve the pain and disability of cervical spinal deformity (CSD), techniques are not standardized. Our objective was to assess for consensus on recommended ... -
Assessment of symptomatic rod fracture after posterior instrumented fusion for adult spinal deformity.
(Neurosurgery, 2012-10)<h4>Background</h4>Improved understanding of rod fracture (RF) in adult spinal deformity could be valuable for implant design, surgical planning, and patient counseling.<h4>Objective</h4>To evaluate symptomatic RF after ... -
Can a Minimal Clinically Important Difference Be Achieved in Elderly Patients with Adult Spinal Deformity Who Undergo Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery?
(World neurosurgery, 2016-02)<h4>Background</h4>Older age has been considered a relative contraindication to complex spinal procedures. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques to treat patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) have emerged with ... -
Cervical compensatory alignment changes following correction of adult thoracic deformity: a multicenter experience in 57 patients with a 2-year follow-up.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2015-06)OBJECT Alignment changes in the cervical spine that occur following surgical correction for thoracic deformity remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate such changes in a cohort of adults with thoracic ... -
Cervical spine alignment, sagittal deformity, and clinical implications: a review.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2013-08)This paper is a narrative review of normal cervical alignment, methods for quantifying alignment, and how alignment is associated with cervical deformity, myelopathy, and adjacent-segment disease (ASD), with discussions ... -
Clinical and radiographic parameters associated with best versus worst clinical outcomes in minimally invasive spinal deformity surgery.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2016-07)OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques are increasingly used to treat adult spinal deformity. However, standard minimally invasive spinal deformity techniques have a more limited ability to restore sagittal ... -
Comparison of best versus worst clinical outcomes for adult spinal deformity surgery: a retrospective review of a prospectively collected, multicenter database with 2-year follow-up.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2015-09)<h4>Object</h4>Although recent studies suggest that average clinical outcomes are improved following surgery for selected adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients, these outcomes span a broad range. Few studies have specifically ... -
Comparison of Complications and Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes Between Nonobese and Obese Patients with Adult Spinal Deformity Undergoing Minimally Invasive Surgery.
(World neurosurgery, 2016-03)<h4>Objective</h4>Obesity can be associated with increased complications and potentially worse outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the impact of obesity on complications and outcomes in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) ... -
Comparison of radiographic results after minimally invasive, hybrid, and open surgery for adult spinal deformity: a multicenter study of 184 patients.
(Neurosurgical focus, 2014-05)<h4>Object</h4>Various surgical approaches, including open, minimally invasive, and hybrid techniques, have gained momentum in the management of adult spinal deformity. However, few data exist on the radiographic outcomes ... -
Comparison of two minimally invasive surgery strategies to treat adult spinal deformity.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2015-04)<h4>Object</h4>Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques are becoming a more common means of treating adult spinal deformity (ASD). The aim of this study was to compare the hybrid (HYB) surgical approach, involving minimally ... -
Complication rates associated with 3-column osteotomy in 82 adult spinal deformity patients: retrospective review of a prospectively collected multicenter consecutive series with 2-year follow-up.
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2017-10)OBJECTIVE Although 3-column osteotomy (3CO) can provide powerful alignment correction in adult spinal deformity (ASD), these procedures are complex and associated with high complication rates. The authors' objective was ... -
Complications in adult spinal deformity surgery: an analysis of minimally invasive, hybrid, and open surgical techniques.
(Neurosurgical focus, 2014-05)<h4>Object</h4>It is hypothesized that minimally invasive surgical techniques lead to fewer complications than open surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). The goal of this study was to analyze matched patient cohorts ... -
Does Minimally Invasive Percutaneous Posterior Instrumentation Reduce Risk of Proximal Junctional Kyphosis in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery? A Propensity-Matched Cohort Analysis.
(Neurosurgery, 2016-01)<h4>Background</h4>Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a known complication after spinal deformity surgery. One potential cause is disruption of posterior muscular tension band during pedicle screw placement.<h4>Object... -
Does MIS Surgery Allow for Shorter Constructs in the Surgical Treatment of Adult Spinal Deformity?
(Neurosurgery, 2017-03)<h4>Background</h4>The length of construct can potentially influence perioperative risks in adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. A head-to-head comparison between open and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques for ... -
Effect of Antifibrinolytic Therapy on Complications, Thromboembolic Events, Blood Product Utilization, and Fusion in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.
(Spine, 2016-07)<h4>Study design</h4>A multicenter, prospective, consecutive database of surgical patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD).<h4>Objective</h4>This study investigated the use of antifibrinolytic (AF) therapy in ... -
Global coronal decompensation and adult spinal deformity surgery: comparison of upper-thoracic versus lower-thoracic proximal fixation for long fusions.
