Epidural corticosteroid injections (ESI) are a mainstay of nonoperative treatment for patients with lumbar spine pathology. Recent literature evaluating infection risk following ESI after elective orthopedic surgery has produced conflicting evidence. Our primary objective was to review the literature and provide a larger meta-analysis analyzing the temporal effects of steroid injections on the risk of infection following lumbar spine surgery.

Globally, spine disorders are the leading cause of disability, affecting more than half a billion individuals. However, less than 50% of G20 countries specifically identify spine health within their public policy priorities. Therefore, it is crucial to raise awareness among policy makers of the disabling effect of spine disorders and their impact on the economic welfare of G20 nations. In 2019, SPINE20 was established as the leading advocacy group to bring global attention to spine disorders.

Although detailed clinical and radiological diagnostics were carried out with great effort and expense, the biodynamic properties of the spine of PD patients have never been considered. We propose a noninvasive method to quantify the impairment of motion abilities in patients with PD.

C1 pedicle screw technique showed further advantages since it avoids the negative results from the sacrificed range of motion of the atlantooccipital joint compared to the occipitocervical fusion. However, some intractable complications are unavoidable. In the pediatric population, dysphagia after the atlantoaxial fixation can be accidentally serious. We aimed to determine the incidence of dysphagia in the pediatric population's cohort and its radiological predictor.

The diagnosis and classification of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) can be difficult with radiography alone; therefore, computed tomography (CT) is also usually performed. There are many reports on the usefulness of digital tomosynthesis (DTS) for image analysis in orthopedics. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of DTS with radiography and CT for the diagnosis and classification of cervical OPLL (C-OPLL).

Importantly, a correlation of the correct placement of cervical total disc replacement (cTDR) to preserve a physiological iCOR has been previously identified.

Knowledge about spinal length and subsequently growth of each individual patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) helps with accurate timing of both conservative and surgical treatment. Radiographs taken by a biplanar low-dose X-ray device (EOS) have no divergence in the vertical plane and can provide three-dimensional (3D) measurements. Therefore, this study investigated the criterion validity and reliability of EOS spinal length measurements in AIS patients.

Three-dimensional (3D) printed patient-specific guides (PSGs) have been recently used to supplement other PS placement techniques. We conducted a single-center, retrospective observational study to assess the accuracy of PS placement using PSGs in a consecutive case series of pediatric and adult patients with thoracic scoliosis.

Rapidly growing evidence demonstrates that the gut microbiome has overarching influences on human health and the body’s homeostasis and resilience to internal and external perturbations. This broad role of the gut microbiome is potentially relevant and connected to musculoskeletal pain, though the literature on the topic is limited. Thus, the literature on the topic of musculoskeletal pain and gut microbiome was explored.

Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has gained popularity over recent years and is being increasingly used in spine surgery for pain management. To date, no major neurological complications have been reported. We present here two patients who developed transient postoperative paraplegia and discuss the possible causes of this phenomenon.

The 5-year postoperative failure rate of conventional shunt treatment for syringomyelia is 50%, with arachnoditis, shunt obstruction, and shunt malfunction being the most common causes. We report a new syringo-cisterna magna (SCM) shunt that allows syrinx cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage normally into the cerebellomedullary cisterns through the subarachnoid space.

Transcranial electrical stimulation motor-evoked potentials (TES-MEPs) are an intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring method that reduces adverse outcomes in various spine surgeries. Although spine surgeons rarely use TES-MEPs for simple lumbar decompression surgery, we herein firstly report the efficacy of TES-MEPs for lumbar spinal canal stenosis with asymptomatic coexisting cervical canal stenosis.

Vertebral hemangioma (VH) is a rare cause of low back pain in children. In most cases, VHs present as incidental findings and do not require invasive diagnostic procedure. In case of symptomatic presentation, different approaches can be used. Over the years, we have developed a treatment algorithm for VH in children based on our clinical experience. In this manuscript, we propose a stepwise approach to treatment of VHs based on tumor extension and the degree of spinal cord/nerves compression with or without neurological deficit.

Primary sacral tumors are rare, representing fewer than 7% of spinal neoplasms. Following total sacrectomy, lumbopelvic instrumentation and fusion carries a high risk of non-union with no current consensus on fixation techniques to augment bony defects. We aim to describe the outcome of a reconstruction technique following total sacrectomy whereby lumbopelvic shortening is performed and the posterior pelvic ring is compressed to enable contact with the native L5 vertebra.

Severe cervical axial deformity associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is rare in clinic, and there are little concerns about surgical treatment of axial deformity associated with AS. The case study aims to show the surgical technique to perform cervical rotational osteotomy.

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a serious complication after spine surgery. Recently, it has become possible to perform negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell time (NPWTi-d) for postoperative infected wounds. We report the first rare case of symptomatic pneumoencephalopathy following NPWTi-d for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection after spinal deformity surgery.
