Guideline update for the performance of fusion procedures for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Part 4: Radiographic assessment of fusion statusJournal of Neurosurgery: Spine - Tập 21 Số 1 - Trang 23-30 - 2014

The ability to identify a successful arthrodesis is an essential element in the management of patients undergoing lumbar fusion procedures. The hypothetical gold standard of intraoperative exploration to identify, under direct observation, a solid arthrodesis is an impractical alternative. Therefore, radiographic assessment remains the most viable instrument to evaluate for a successful ar...... hiện toàn bộ
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion in comparison with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: implications for the restoration of foraminal height, local disc angle, lumbar lordosis, and sagittal balanceJournal of Neurosurgery: Spine - Tập 7 Số 4 - Trang 379-386 - 2007
Patrick C. Hsieh, Sandi Lam, Brian O’Shaughnessy, Patrick A. Sugrue, Sean A. Salehi, Stephen L. Ondra, John C. Liu
Object
A primary consideration of all spinal fusion procedures is restoration of normal anatomy, including disc height, lumbar lordosis, foraminal decompression, and sagittal balance. To the authors' knowledge, there has been no direct comparison of anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) concerning thei...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparison of anterior- and posterior-approach instrumented lumbar interbody fusion for spondylolisthesisJournal of Neurosurgery: Spine - Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 21-26 - 2007
Jun-Hong Min, Jee-Soo Jang, Sang‐Ho Lee
Object
The purpose of this study was to compare the imaging and clinical outcomes obtained in patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis who have undergone either instrumented anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) or instrumented posterior LIF (PLIF), especially with regard to the development of adjacent-segment degeneration (ASD).

Use of artificial neural networks to predict surgical satisfaction in patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosisJournal of Neurosurgery: Spine - Tập 20 Số 3 - Trang 300-305 - 2014
Parisa Azimi, Edward C. Benzel, Sohrab Shahzadi, Shirzad Azhari, Hassan Reza Mohammadi
Object
The purpose of this study was to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) model for predicting 2-year surgical satisfaction, and to compare the new model with traditional predictive tools in patients with lumbar spinal canal stenosis.
Methods
The 2 prediction models included an ANN ...... hiện toàn bộ
Use of the modified frailty index to predict 30-day morbidity and mortality from spine surgeryJournal of Neurosurgery: Spine - Tập 25 Số 4 - Trang 537-541 - 2016
Rushna Ali, Jason M. Schwalb, David R. Nerenz, Heath J. Antoine, Ilan Rubinfeld
OBJECTIVE
Limited tools exist to stratify perioperative risk in patients undergoing spinal procedures. The modified frailty index (mFI) based on the Canadian Study of Health and Aging Frailty Index (CSHA-FI), constructed from standard demographic variables, has been applied to various other surgical populations for risk stratification. The authors hypoth...... hiện toàn bộ
Selection of instrumentation and fusion levels for scoliosis: where to start and where to stopJournal of Neurosurgery: Spine - Tập 1 Số 1 - Trang 1-8 - 2004
Keith H. Bridwell
Object.Although there are several papers in the literature regarding selection of fusion levels in the adolescent patient, fewer articles pertain to this in the adult patient. The author reviewed his experience and the literature and reports on the choice of fusion levels in the adolescent and adult patient.... hiện toàn bộ
Endoscopic image-guided odontoidectomy for decompression of basilar invagination via a standard anterior cervical approachJournal of Neurosurgery: Spine - Tập 6 Số 2 - Trang 184-191 - 2007
Jean‐Paul Wolinsky, Daniel M. Sciubba, Ian Suk, Ziya L. Gokaslan
✓Symptomatic irreducible basilar invagination has traditionally been approached through a transoral–transpharyngeal route with resection of the anterior portion of C-1 and the odontoid. Modification of this exposure with either a Le Fort osteotomy or a transmandibular osteotomy and circumglossal approach has increased the access to pathological conditions in this region. These traditional ...... hiện toàn bộ
