Incidence and risk factors of heterotopic ossification after cervical Baguera C disc arthroplasty
CONCLUSIONS: The HO incidence after CDA was correlated with the residual length of endplate coverage and inferior AREE. Additionally, the AREE and kyphotic postoperative FSU angle in the flexion position were associated with HO grade progression. Patients with HO also showed a trend of lower range of motion at 1 month after surgery. Using an adequately sized implant and encouraging neck motion may help prevent HO development and progression.PMID:38518295 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.SPINE23744 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

Exploring tribology and material contact science in spine surgery: implications for implant design
J Neurosurg Spine. 2024 Mar 22:1-10. doi: 10.3171/2024.1.SPINE231047. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTribology, an interdisciplinary field concerned with the science of interactions between surfaces in contact and their relative motion, plays a well-established role in the design of orthopedic implants, such as knee and hip replacements. However, its applications in spine surgery have received comparatively less attention in the literature. Understanding tribology is pivotal in elucidating the intricate interactions between metal, polymer, and ceramic components, as well as their interplay with the native human bone. Numero...

Exploring disparities in surgical recommendations for patients with primary intramedullary spinal cord tumors: an analysis of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2000 to 2019
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with spinal ependymomas and nonependymal spinal gliomas, recommendations for surgery appear to be unaffected by patient sex, race, or income. Survival disparities appear to exist among unmarried, male, Black, and lower-income cohorts. Continued initiatives to identify drivers of disparities while improving health equity in this patient population are needed.PMID:38518290 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.SPINE231093 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)

Clinical criteria for filum terminale resection in occult tethered cord syndrome
CONCLUSIONS: By applying the study's inclusion criteria and incorporating the novel 15-item scale, surgeons can effectively select candidates for FT resection in patients with OTCS. The observed outcomes in these selected patients are comparable to those achieved in degenerative spine surgery.PMID:38489815 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.SPINE231191 (Source: Journal of Neurosurgery.Spine)
