Outcomes of Balloon Kyphoplasty for Vertebral Compression Fractures in Patients with Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis at the Distal End or Adjacent Vertebra of the Fused Segments
CONCLUSIONS: Although local kyphosis is more advanced in patients with DISH, BKP is effective for VCFs at the distal end or adjacent vertebra of the fused segments and may be useful in older patients with high complication rates.PMID:38454753 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0316 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

Does Magnetic Resonance Imaging Predict Neurological Deficit in Patients with Traumatic Lower Lumbar Fractures?
CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results, the optimal cutoff values of CER >50% and CSAT >65.3 mm2 can predict the incidence of neurological deficits in LLFs.PMID:38454754 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0311 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

Functional and Radiological Outcomes of All-Posterior Surgical Correction of Dystrophic Curves in Patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 1
CONCLUSIONS: Utilizing computer-assisted navigation, hybrid instrumentation, and multiple anchor point technique and attaining high implant densities, this study demonstrates successful outcomes following posterior-only surgical correction of dystrophic scoliosis in patients with NF-1.PMID:38454755 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0294 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

Factors Related to Proximal Junctional Kyphosis and Device Failure in Patients with Early-Onset Scoliosis Treated with a Traditional Dual Growing Rod: A Single Institution Study
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of EOS with TDGR is associated with high rates of complications, particularly PJK and device failure. The device type may not correlate with the risk of PJK and device failure. The progression of thoracic kyphosis during multiple distractions is an important risk factor for PJK.PMID:38454749 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0286 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

A Comparison of Short-Term Outcomes after Surgical Treatment of Multilevel Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy in the Geriatric Patient Population: An Analysis of the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Database 2010-2020
CONCLUSIONS: PCF is associated with the highest risk of mortality, morbidity, unplanned reoperation, and unplanned readmission in the short-term postoperative period in patients aged 65 years. In contrast, ACDF carries the lowest risk. However, some disease-specific factors may require posterior treatment. For these cases, LP should be included in the preoperative discussion when determining the ideal surgical approach for geriatric patients.PMID:38454750 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0276 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

Effect of Osteoporosis on Clinical and Radiological Outcomes Following One-Level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
CONCLUSIONS: Osteoporosis did not significantly affect the rate of cage subsidence or plate migration after cervical fusion. After ACDF, increased cage subsidence and implant migration rates had no significant effect on clinical outcomes.PMID:38454751 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0207 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

Relationship between Treatment Choices according to the Modified Osteoporotic Fracture Score and Posttreatment Radiographic Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: In the BKP and open surgery groups, the mOF scores were consistent with actual clinical selection. In the nonsurgical therapy group, patients not treated according to the mOF score-based treatment recommendation exhibited severe vertebral body deformity and a less well-balanced spine shape after treatment. The mOF score may help in selecting suitable treatments for OFs.PMID:38454752 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0319 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)
