Fixation using cement-augmented pedicle screws (CAPS) is being increasingly performed.
However, CAPS-associated cement leakage is a critical problem that can lead to …

Background There has been increased development of robotic technologies for the
accuracy of percutaneous pedicle screw placement. However, it remains unclear whether …

Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) affect 1.4 million patients every year, especially
among the globally aging population, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Often …

Aim To investigate the role of fusion construct properties, vertebral column reconstruction
(VCR) techniques, steroid therapy, laminectomy versus ligamentotaxis in treatment of …

Study Design Prospective Observational Study. Objective To determine the alignment of the
AO Spine Thoracolumbar Injury Classification system and treatment algorithm with …

Purpose During a fall, a significant part of the major forces is absorbed by the dorsolumbar
column area. When the applied stresses exceed the yield strength of the bone tissue …

Introduction: Minimal-invasive instrumentation techniques have become a workhorse in
spine surgery and require constant clinical evaluations. We sought to analyze patient …

Hyperextension injuries of the ankylosed thoracolumbar spine, particularly those with
preexisting kyphotic deformity, present significant therapeutic challenges. The authors …

Background The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome between percutaneous
pedicle screw fixation (PPSF) and the mini-open Wiltse approach with pedicle screw fixation …

Background: Thoracolumbar and lumbar spine injuries account for 30–60% of spinal
fractures, especially at the thoracolumbar junction. Conservative treatment is recommended …
