Purpose Accelerated degenerative changes at intervertebral levels adjacent to a spinal
fusion, the so-called adjacent segment degeneration (ASD), have been reported in many …

Understanding spinal kinematics is essential, not only for the comprehension and diagnosis
of spinal diseases, but also for improving modern tools and software. The sheer volume and …

Adjacent segment disorders are prevalent in patients following a spinal fusion surgery.
Postoperative alterations in the adjacent segment biomechanics play a role in the etiology of …

The development of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) is a major concern after lumbar
spinal fusion surgery, but the causative mechanisms remain unclear. This study used a …

Study Design: Retrospective study. Objective: There have been few reports of adjacent
segment disease (ASD) after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) with large numbers …

Biomechanical changes at the adjacent segments after interbody fusion are common
instigators of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD). This study aims to investigate how the …

OBJECTIVE Pedicle screw-rod–based hybrid stabilization (PH) and interspinous device–
based hybrid stabilization (IH) have been proposed to prevent adjacent-segment …

Background Lumbo-sacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) are one of the most common
congenital variances of the spine. They are associated with an increased frequency of …

Background: Replacement of a diseased lumbar intervertebral disc with an artificial device,
a procedure known as lumbar total disc replacement (LTDR), has been practiced since the …

Abstract Background Context Spinal injuries and surgery may have important effects on
neighboring spinal levels, but previous investigations of adjacent-level biomechanics have …
