predict physiological alignment of the cervical spine and study its morphology in different …

Introduction Previous studies have shown poor health-related outcomes among patients
with spinal sagittal malalignment of the thoracolumbar or spinopelvic region, and less …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT It is widely recognized that sagittal spinal alignment changes
with age. However, there are presently no clear benchmarks for such values or those for the …

Objective To obtain the quantitative measurements of the muscle morphology of cervical
extensors in patients with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and determine whether …

OBJECTIVE Cervical deformity (CD) is difficult to define due to the high variability in normal
cervical alignment based on postural-and thoracolumbar-driven changes to cervical …

Study Design. Retrospective review of a prospectively collected registry. Objective. The
purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of frailty and radiographical …

Purpose To evaluate the efficacy of locking stand-alone cage (LSC) compared with anterior
plate construct (APC) in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Methods A …

When spinal imbalance occurs, the human body reacts through various compensatory
mechanisms to maintain the head over the pelvis and to retain a horizontal gaze. These …

Introduction and purpose Little information exists on surgical characteristics, complications
and outcomes with corrective surgery for rigid cervical kyphosis (CK). To collate the …

Study Design. A retrospective review of radiographic data and functional outcomes.
