Bone morphogenetic protein in subaxial cervical arthrodesis: a meta-analysis of 5828 patients
CONCLUSIONS: Use of BMP in ACDF offers higher rates of augmented fusion and lower rates of all-cause reoperation but with an increased risk of dysphagia. The benefit of fusion outweighs the risk of dysphagia with a higher BMP dose in older patients being operated on for < 2 levels. The use of BMP in PCF seems to have a less important effect on clinical and radiological outcomes.PMID:38701518 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.SPINE23941 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

Importance of the cervical paraspinal muscles in postoperative patient-reported outcomes and maintenance of sagittal alignment after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
CONCLUSIONS: The findings highlight the importance of preoperative assessment of the cervical paraspinal muscle morphology as a predictor for patient-reported outcomes and maintenance of C2-7 SVA after ACDF.PMID:38701526 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.SPINE23926 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

C1-2 hypermobility and its impact on the spinal cord: a finite element analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This FEA revealed significant spinal cord stress during pathological rotation (50°) and lateral translation (5 mm) consistent with values found during severe spinal cord compression and in patients with myelopathy. While this finite element model requires oversimplification of the atlantoaxial joint, the study provides biomechanical evidence that hypermobility within the C1-2 joint leads to pathological spinal cord stress.PMID:38701531 | DOI:10.3171/2024.2.SPINE231327 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)
