Multicenter Study
Outcomes Following Direct versus Indirect Decompression Techniques for Lumbar Spondylolisthesis: A Propensity-Matched Analysis.
Retrospective review. ⋯ Our study suggests that both DD and ID for the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis result in similar clinical outcomes, with the exception that those treated with ID experienced a lower reduction in back and leg pain at 3 months and a higher 3-month reoperation rate. This data can provide surgeons with additional information when counseling patients on the pros and cons of ID versus DD surgery.

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.
