Comparative outcome analysis of lateral mass fixation and trans-facet fixation with posterior decompression in the management of cervical spondylotic myelopathy: An institutional experience
Conclusions: Both trans-facet and lateral mass fixation techniques are simple, safe, and effective procedures in achieving relief and improvement in patients with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Trans-facetal fixation can provide a reasonable alternative to lateral mass fixation. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Comparison of clinical and radiological results of dynamic and rigid instrumentation in degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis
Conclusion: Previous experience with PEEK rod systems has demonstrated physiological spine movement, increased fusion rates, minimal complications, reduction in adjacent segment degeneration, and biomechanical compatibility. Although further long-term studies are needed and the cost of PEEK systems is likely to be a barrier, the results of the present study support the use of PEEK rods and other dynamic systems in spinal surgery.

Unilateral atlanto-occipital injury: A case series and detailed radiographic description
Conclusions: We propose that ligamentous injury at the CCJ functions more as a spectrum rather than dichotomous diagnosis, of which a subset can likely be safely managed nonoperatively. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Correlation between the cervical sagittal alignment and spine - pelvic sagittal alignment in asymptomatic adults
Conclusion: In asymptomatic patients, in whom cervical sagittal alignment and spinal-pelvic alignment were evaluated, only a positive correlation was found between lumbar mismatch and T1S, which lacks clinical significance. No concordance was identified between lumbar mismatch and cervical mismatch. Therefore, it is inferred that there is an independence between the sagittal spine-pelvic alignment with respect to the sagittal cervical alignment.

What is a better value for your time ? Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion versus cervical disc arthroplasty
Conclusions: Median RVUs-per-minute increased by 0.119 points for ACDF over CDA, or $257.7/h for each additional-hour of surgery. Adjusted 30-day outcomes were similar between procedures. Reimbursement for CDA does not appear to be in line with ACDF and may be a barrier to widespread usage. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

An evaluation of patients with abdominal pain after lateral lumbar interbody fusion
Conclusions: Patients who received abdominal imaging after LLIF were more likely to undergo exploratory laparotomy, experience longer hospital length of stay, and were discharged home less frequently. Intra-abdominal air on postoperative imaging without corresponding physical exam findings consistent with bowel injury is not an appropriate indication for surgical intervention.

Polymorphisms in paired box 1 gene were associated with susceptibility of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A case & #8211;control study
Conclusions: PAX-1 polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of developing the AIS and with curve severity and can be used as a biomarker to map the risk of developing surgical-grade AIS, guiding the treatment of patients. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Magnetic resonance imaging anatomy of the craniovertebral ligaments: A radiological study with confirmatory dissection
Conclusion: 4.6T MR images provide accurate detail of the structure, dimensions, and attachments of the craniovertebral ligaments. The morphology of the craniovertebral ligaments assessed radiologically was consistent with findings on gross dissection. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

How does spinopelvic alignment influence short-term clinical outcomes after lumbar fusion in patients with single-level degenerative spondylolisthesis ?
Conclusion: A preoperative PT >20° is associated with improved PI-LL reduction and an increase in SS. However, no differences in clinical outcomes were found 1 year postoperatively for patients with preoperative PT >20° and PI-LL ≥11° compared to patients below this threshold.

A comparative study between preoperative and postoperative conventional autonomic functions in congenital craniovertebral junction anomalies
Conclusion: There is a definite involvement of subclinical ANS in all patients of CVJ anomalies irrespective of their symptomatology. Knowing the extent of involvement in the preoperative period can help prognosticate, prioritize regarding surgery as well as correlate with the extent of improvement.

Total disc replacement alters the biomechanics of cervical spine based on sagittal cervical alignment: A finite element study

Cervical deformity patients with baseline hyperlordosis or hyperkyphosis differ in surgical treatment and radiographic outcomes
Conclusions: Hyperlodotic patients trended higher revision rates with greater radiographic malalignment at 1-year postoperative, perhaps due to undercorrection compared to kyphotic etiologies. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Sporadic hemangioblastoma of cauda equina: A case report and brief literature review
Conclusions: Although intradural extramedullary HB of the cauda equina without VHL syndrome is a rare pathological entity, this diagnosis must be taken in consideration when a mass affects cauda equina. Preoperative embolization is an option to minimize intraoperative bleeding. Radiosurgery seems to prevent recurrences when the tumor is not completely excised. A complete surgical removal of the lesion is usually possible and it leads to a low likelihood of recurrence. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Os odontoideum: A comprehensive review
Sia Cho, Nathan A Shlobin, Nader S DahdalehJournal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine 2022 13(3):256-264 Os odontoideum (OO) is a rare craniocervical anomaly that is characterized by a round ossicle separated from the C2 vertebral body. With a controversial etiology and unknown prevalence in the population, OO may be asymptomatic or present in patients with myelopathic and neurological symptoms. In this literature review, we aimed to investigate epidemiology, embryology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and the role of diagnostic radiography in OO. By providing an overview of different management strategies, sur...

The current status and surgical outcome of the minimally invasive techniques for lumbar interbody fusion in India: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions: Minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is the most common minimally invasive technique employed for lumbar interbody fusion in India, while oblique lumbar interbody fusion is in the initial stages. The surgical and outcome-related factors improved significantly after MIS LIF in the Indian population. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)
