Retrospective controlled cohort. ⋯ In postoperative PSF for patients with AIS receiving LB through ESPB, those who did not receive a PCA had lower opioid consumption without worse pain scores or mobility and had a lower LOS. Adding LB through ESPB to postoperative pain regimens effectively replaces a PCA by providing the same pain control and reducing overall opioid consumption and LOS.

Age-Related Changes and Spinal Sagittal Alignment in Asymptomatic Community Dwelling Adults Over 50.
Monocentric, retrospective, cross-sectional study. ⋯ Our study provided a normative age-related value of spinal sagittal parameters. To assess the spinal sagittal alignment, it was suggested that LL and TK be divided into two tangential arches based on the location of the lordotic or kyphotic apex. This study offered insights for spine surgeons in preparing for surgical corrections.
