Retrospective Single-Center Study. ⋯ III.

Clinical experimental diagnostic study. ⋯ This study demonstrates the utility of ZTE MRI and CTMA in detecting subtle yet clinically relevant vertebral motions influencing the foramina in the cervical spine during the Spurling maneuver. These findings could lead to better understanding and potentially improved diagnostic strategies for cervical foraminal stenosis, although further research with a larger cohort is necessary to confirm these results.

Meta-Analysis. ⋯ Both staged and same-day spinal fusion surgeries showed comparable rates of death, reoperations and non-home discharges for patients undergoing spinal surgeries. However, given the increased OR time, LOS and complications associated with staged spinal surgeries, this study supports same-day surgeries when possible to minimize the burden on healthcare resources and enhance efficiency.
