How Does the Severity of Neuroforaminal Compression in Cervical Radiculopathy Affect Outcomes of Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with severe FS presented with worse preoperative physical health. While ACDF improved outcomes and conferred similar motor recovery in all patients, those with severe FS reported much better improvement in physical function.PMID:37946340 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0066 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

Natural history and growth rate of intracranial aneurysms in Loeys-Dietz syndrome: implications for treatment
CONCLUSIONS: ICAs in patients with LDS are common, are frequently small, and have a growth rate similar to that of unruptured ICAs in the general population. More aggressive or earlier intervention for asymptomatic ICAs identified in LDS patients compared with the general population is likely unwarranted based on the authors' experience at their institution.PMID:37948688 | DOI:10.3171/2023.8.JNS23733 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery)

Preoperative Radiographic Simulation for Partial Uncinate Process Resection during Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion to Achieve Adequate Foraminal Decompression and Prevention of Vertebral Artery Injury
CONCLUSIONS: More than half of the uncinate process in the anteroposterior plane should be removed for adequate neural foramen decompression. Foraminal stenosis or uncinate degeneration did not alter the relative anatomy of the uncinate process and the VA and did not impact VA injury risk.PMID:37946338 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0087 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)
