Spine
-
Retrospective. ⋯ MRI inflammatory features of the lumbar facet joints are often noted in patients with low back pain. The proposed grading system is reliable and could serve as a research tool for studies assessing the clinical relevance and prognostic value of these features.
-
Retrospective cohort study. ⋯ SLIM has a similar operative time to PSF and is technically similar to PSF while maintaining the surgical and postoperative outcome advantages of 3MIS.
-
This is a cross-sectional survey. ⋯ This novel classification system can be used to reliably categorize TDHs, standardize description, and potentially guide the selection of surgical approach. Validation of this system with regard to treatment and clinical outcomes represents a line of future study.
-
Systematic review. ⋯ 3.
-
Retrospective review of prospectively collected data. ⋯ Shorter OR time for ASD correction is associated with a lower minor complication rate, a lower estimated blood loss, fewer intensive care unit admissions, and a shorter hospital length of stay without sacrificing alignment correction or PROMs. Maximizing operative efficiency by minimizing OR time in ASD surgery has the potential to benefit patients, surgeons, and hospital systems.
