A retrospective cohort study. ⋯ These findings support using preliminary trauma variables for early prognostication of ambulation following a TSCI, allowing for tailored individual interventions.Level of Evidence: 3.
-
Retrospective study. ⋯ Even if PJK was asymptomatic at initial development, it progressed radiographically with time and eventually gave a negative impact on the clinical outcomes in long-term follow-up.Level of Evidence: 3.
-
Prospective multicenter cohort study. ⋯ The alarm point of IONM by the Monitoring WG of the JSSR appeared to be valid for each disease in Group HR. Meanwhile, applying the JSSR alarm point for Group C potentially needed attention.Level of Evidence: 3.
-
Two fresh-frozen and six formalin-fixed cadavers were included in the study. ⋯ Our study suggested that application of transferring T9 or T11 VR to L2 VR and T10 or T12 VR to L3 VR in restoring lower limb function is anatomically feasible.Level of Evidence: 5.
-
Retrospective cohort. ⋯ Primary or revision ACDF procedures did not significantly differ in depressive symptoms through 1-year. Primary ACDF patients significantly improved in all PROMs through all timepoints, while revision patients had limited improvement in PROMs. Preoperative depression may have a stronger association on postoperative outcomes for primary procedures.Level of Evidence: 3.
