Few studies have assessed the impact of overlapping surgery during different timepoints of neurosurgical procedures. ⋯ Increased duration of overlap before the critical step of surgery does not predict adverse short-term outcomes after single-level, posterior-only lumbar fusion.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common peripheral entrapment neuropathy. However, CTS-related changes of brain structural covariance and structural covariance networks (SCNs) patterns have not been clearly studied. ⋯ CTS had a profound impact on brain structures from perspectives of structural connectivity and SCNs.

Lateral (ie, coronal) vertebral listhesis may contribute to disability in adult scoliosis patients. ⋯ Lateral thoracolumbar listhesis is associated with worse baseline disability among adult scoliosis patients. Resolution of severe lateral listhesis following deformity correction was independently associated with increased likelihood of reaching MCID in ODI at 2-yr follow-up.
