BACKGROUND: In lumbar fusion surgery, intervertebral spacer cages made of silicon nitride (Si(3)N(4)) ceramic are an available option among other biomaterials. While the surface chemistry of Si(3)N(4) is known to favor bone fusion, large-scale clinic

BACKGROUND: Intervertebral spacers made of silicon nitride (Si(3)N(4)) are currently used in cervical and thoracolumbar fusion. While basic science data demonstrate several advantages of Si(3)N(4) over other biomaterials, large-scale clinical results

BACKGROUND: Degeneration of the lumbar spine is common in aging adults and reflects a significant morbidity burden in this population. In selected patients that prove unresponsive to non-surgical treatment, posterior lumbar fusion (PLF) surgery, with

Atlantoaxial instability (AAI) is a common deformity in Down syndrome (DS). Although often inconsequential, AAI can progress to atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AARS). In patients with DS, concomitant AAI often necessitate surgical fusion, but succ

Background context Proximal junctional failure (PJF) is a recognized complication of spinal deformity surgery. Acute PJF (APJF) has recently been demonstrated to be 5.6% in the adult spinal deformity (ASD) population. The incidence and rate of return

Background context Retrograde ejaculation (RE) is a complication of anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) techniques. Most commonly, this results from mechanical or inflammatory injury to the superior hypogastric plexus near the aortic bifurcation.

Background: Computerized tomography, traditionally utilized to evaluate and detect visceral abdominal and pelvic injuries in multiply injured patients with altered mental status, also has been useful for detecting thoracolumbar spine fractures and di

The glucose storage polymer glycogen is generally considered to be an important source of energy for skeletal muscle contraction and a factor in exercise endurance. A genetically modified mouse model lacking muscle glycogen was used to examine whethe

Background context In lumbar surgery, local bone graft is often harvested and used in posterolateral fusion procedures. The volume of local bone graft available for posterolateral fusion has not been determined in North American patients. Some author
