Characteristics of Lumbar Spondylolysis in Adolescent Baseball Players: Relationship between the Laterality of Lumbar Spondylolysis and the Throwing or Batting Side
CONCLUSIONS: Adolescent baseball players, particularly pitchers, exhibited a higher incidence of lumbar spondylolysis on the side opposite their throwing arm. The findings of this study highlight the significant effect of asymmetrical sporting activities on the development of spondylolysis, to which pitchers are particularly susceptible.PMID:38650091 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0360 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

Sagittal Section Hounsfield Units of the Upper Instrumented Vertebrae as a Predictor of Proximal Junctional Vertebral Fractures Following Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Measurements of HU in the anterior one-third of the UIV in the sagittal section demonstrated predictive ability for PJFr following ASD surgery. A UIV HU value of <100 emerged as a risk factor for PJFr.PMID:38650092 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0339 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

Finite Element Analysis Comparing the Biomechanical Parameters in Multilevel Posterior Cervical Instrumentation Model Involving Lateral Mass Screw versus Transpedicular Screw Fixation at the C7 Vertebra
CONCLUSIONS: Ending a multilevel posterior cervical fixation construct with TPS fixation rather than LMS fixation at the C7 vertebra provides a stiff and more constrained construct system, with higher stress endurance to compressive force. The constraint and durability of the construct can be further enhanced by adding a C2 pars screw in the fixation system.PMID:38650095 | DOI:10.31616/asj.2023.0231 (Source: Asian Spine Journal)

The Transaxillary Approach as a Direct Route in the Management of Upper Thoracic Spine Pathology: A Technical Note with Case Series
Asian Spine J. 2024 Apr 23. doi: 10.31616/asj.2023.0175. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis retrospective case series of prospective data aims to describe the transaxillary approach for the treatment of upper thoracic spine pathology. Various surgical techniques and approaches have been reported across the literature to address upper thoracic spine pathology, including the cervicothoracic approach, anterior transsternal approach, posterolateral approach, supraclavicular approach, and lateral parascapular approaches. These techniques are invasive. A minimally invasive, less morbid, and direct access approach to the patholog...

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)
