Multicenter Study
Upper versus Lower Lumbar Lordosis Corrections in relation to Pelvic Tilt - An Essential Element in Surgical Planning for Sagittal Plane Deformity.
Retrospective study of a multicenter Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) Database. ⋯ In the surgical planning for ASD, our data demonstrated significant correlational difference between corrections in the upper (L1-4) and lower (L4-S1) lumbar spine and PT changes. These calculations can be useful in planning sagittal plane corrections for ASD.

A prospective multicenter study. ⋯ Surgeons should recognize the diversity of surgical outcomes after laminoplasty and understand the necessity of pain management even after the surgery to enhance bodily functions and QOL in patients with cervical OPLL.

Multicenter Study
Biomechanical Effects of Thoracolumbosacral Orthosis Design Features on 3D Correction in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Comprehensive Multicenter Study.
Multicenter numerical study. ⋯ The corrective features of various scoliosis braces were objectively compared in a systematic approach with minimal biases and variability in test parameters, providing a better biomechanical understanding of individual passive mechanisms' contribution to 3D correction.
