C1 lateral mass reduction screws for treating atlantoaxial dislocations: Bringing ease by modification
Conclusion: C1 lateral mass reduction screw in C1-C2 fixation helps in reduction of AAD and BI (Type A) even in difficult cases of CVJ anomalies with intraoperative technical ease, reduced operative time, no need for special instruments or complex maneuvers, and avoiding potential neurological injury.

Does change in focal lordosis after spinal fusion affect clinical outcomes in degenerative spondylolisthesis ?
Conclusions: The change in focal lordosis not a significant predictor of change in PROMs for disability, pain, or physical function. Proportioned patients based on the GAP score had worse MCID for Oswestry Disability Index. Level of Evidence: III (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Unilateral spacer distraction of the subaxial cervical facet joint for the treatment of fixed coronal malalignment of the craniovertebral junction
Conclusions: USD of the concave side with unilateral PCO of the convexity side in the subaxial cervical spine is a promising alternative treatment for fixed coronal malalignment of the craniovertebral junction from different causes. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Extraforaminal lumbar herniated disc mimicking foraminal tumor: Case report, literature review, and the role for minimally invasive approach for resection
We present such case and a review of similar cases in the scientific literature. A 71-year-old male who presented with back pain and right-side sciatic pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a fusiform enhancing 3 cm × 2 cm lesion that was concerning for a nerve sheath tumor. A minimally invasive lateral trans-psoas approach was performed for a biopsy that revealed disc fragments and a full resection was performed. The patient's symptoms improved at follow-up. Although uncommon, extraforaminal disc herniations can be mistaken for peripheral nerve tumors on imaging. The spine surgeon should remain ...

The impact of preoperative neurological symptom severity on postoperative outcomes in cervical spondylotic myelopathy
Conclusions: Although patients with moderate-to-severe myelopathy improved for all outcomes, they did not achieve normal absolute neurological function, indicating potential irreversible spinal cord changes. Early surgical intervention should be considered in patients with mild myelopathy if they seek to prevent progressive neurological decline over time.

Epidemiology of atlas fractures in the United States: A 20-year analysis
Conclusions: Atlas fractures occur in older patients and are often associated with concomitant injuries to the head and spine. These types of fractures are increasing in the US, especially among the elderly. The annual incidence increased nearly 700% over the course of the study period and in 2020 was over 13 per million overall. In elderly patients >80 years old, the most recent annual incidence rate was over 157 per million. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

EuroQol-5 dimensions health-related quality of life questionnaire in craniovertebral instability treated with posterior fixation with or without occipital plating: A comparative study with matched datasets
Conclusions: HRQoL is significantly reduced in CCI. Although this can be improved with posterior fixation, it is still worse than the age-matched population. Occipital plating may not influence HRQoL. HRQoL of the elderly might not increase as much as of the younger subjects. The longer hospitalization, the worse HRQoL could be expected. Preoperative Wackenheim parameter could correlate with HRQoL at follow-up. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Do the newly proposed realignment targets bridge the gap between radiographic and clinical success in adult cervical deformity corrective surgery
Conclusions: Newly proposed CD modifiers based on mJOA were closely associated with outcomes. Improvement and deterioration in the modifiers significantly impacted the HRQL. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Cervical and spinopelvic parameters can predict patient reported outcomes following cervical deformity surgery
Conclusions: While the impact of preoperative sagittal and cervical parameters on mJOA was strong, the BL radiographic factors did not impact NDI scores. PostOp HRQL was significantly associated with sagittal parameters for mJOA (both worsening and improvement) and NDI scores (improvement). When cervical surgery has been indicated, radiographic alignment is important for postoperative HRQL. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Comparison of in vivo kinematic and radiological parameters of three cervical disc prostheses
Conclusion: Although the optimal range of motion for CTDR has not been established, short-term differences in the range of motion may guide the selection of CTDR prosthesis. Further studies with longer follow-up and consideration of clinical outcome measures are necessary. (Source: Journal of Craniovertebral Junction and Spine)

Retrospective evaluation of cervical fusion with DTRAX (R) cervical cage
Conclusion: The findings of this retrospective study of 14 patients who received the DTRAX facet system over the last 8 years support the conclusions of previous studies that DTRAX is safe and effective. In addition, this is the first study to look for differences in outcomes between single and multi-level DTRAX operations, of which there were none. Further investigation with larger cohorts should be conducted as DTRAX becomes more widely adopted in order to verify its safety and efficacy in various clinical scenarios.
