The Impact of Upper Instrumented Vertebra Orientation on Proximal Junctional Kyphosis-A Novel and Fixed Parameter, Fused Spinopelvic Angle.

A retrospective study. ⋯ The FSPA is a fixed parameter which is not dependent on position. A reduction of the FSPA increases the risk for PJK. The FSPA can be adjusted through PI-LL and LDI. Thus, surgeons should increase the FSPA by adjusting the PI-LL and LDI during ASD surgery to prevent PJK.

Multicenter Study

Transcranial Motor-evoked Potentials for Intraoperative Nerve Root Monitoring during Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery: A Prospective Multicenter Study.

A prospective, multicenter study. ⋯ Nerve root injuries in our ASD cohort were partially predictable using multichannel Tc-MEPs with a 70% decrease in amplitude as an alarm threshold. We propose that future research should evaluate the efficacy of an idealized warning threshold (e.g., 50%) and a more detailed evoked muscle selection, in reducing false negatives.
