Systematic review. ⋯ "DH," especially as measured by DHC, may be an important intraoperative consideration when selecting implant size during CDR. Maintaining DHC <2 mm may optimize PROMs and ROM. Improving technique and implant sizing may aid in translating ex vivo advantages in implant mobility to in vivo improvements in ROM and PROMs.

Single-center retrospective cohort study. ⋯ IV fluid administration is an independent predictor for blood transfusion after long-segment fusion surgery. Limiting IV fluid administration may prevent iatrogenic hemodilution and decrease transfusion rates. These data can be used to create perioperative protocols with the goal of decreasing transfusion rates when not indicated and allowing earlier administration when indicated.
