Multicenter Study
Temporal Shape Changes of Pedicle screw-rod Constructs After Lumbar Interbody Fusion.
Retrospective multicenter study. ⋯ The temporal shape changes of screw-rod constructs following short-segment lumbar interbody fusion progressed up to 6 months after surgery but not significantly thereafter.

Systematic review. ⋯ Level IV.
-
Prospective cohort study. ⋯ The 6MWD of CSM patients was significantly lower than that of the healthy population and correlated well with commonly used clinical scales. The 6MWD can potentially assist in the assessment of functional status in patients with CSM.

Systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ In summary, our meta-analysis suggests that LSSE can potentially improve disability, especially when used as a single treatment. LSSE appears more beneficial in reducing disability than alleviating pain. Future research on different patient groups is needed to understand comprehensively LSSE's effects on other musculoskeletal disorders.
