Giant De Novo Pleomorphic Adenoma of Parapharyngeal Space, Can It Cause Spinal Deformity? A Case Report
ConclusionTumors of the PPS can grow to a large size and involve the neck and PPS, even causing spinal deformity. Careful evaluation is required for ascertaining the origin of the tumor and deciding the treatment plan. (Source: Spine Deformity)

Risk Factors for Early Infection in Pediatric Spinal Deformity Surgery: A Multivariate Analysis
ConclusionsNonidiopathic scoliosis and amount of intraoperative crystalloids were independently associated with early postoperative SSI. Further investigation into intraoperative fluid management may identify modifiable risk factors for early postoperative SSI in primary pediatric spinal deformity posterior spinal fusion patients.Level of EvidenceLevel III, case-control study.

Biomechanics of Prophylactic Tethering for Proximal Junctional Kyphosis: Characterization of Spinous Process Tether Pretensioning and Pull-Out Force
ConclusionsTether pretension significantly affects segmental FSU biomechanics. Pretension should be considered an integral factor in the overall success of a tethering strategy. Efforts should be made to control and record pretension intraoperatively.Level of EvidenceLevel V, biomechanical study. (Source: Spine Deformity)

Biomechanics of Prophylactic Tethering for Proximal Junctional Kyphosis: Comparison of Posterior Tether Looping Techniques
ConclusionTether looping method significantly alters segmental biomechanics. Tethering with the CM method to UIV + 2 allows for reductions in loads acting on the UIV + 1 SP and posterior ligaments.Level of EvidenceLevel V, biomechanical study. (Source: Spine Deformity)

Preclinical Bench Testing on a Novel Posterior Dynamic Deformity Correction Device for Scoliosis
ConclusionsThe unique design features of the MID-C system, based on polyaxial joints and ceramic coating, resulted in favorable static, fatigue, and wear resistance properties. Wear properties were superior to those published for artificial spinal discs. Long-term outcomes from clinical use will be required to correlate these bench tests to the in vivo reality of clinical use.Level of EvidenceLevel V. (Source: Spine Deformity)

Creation of a Porcine Kyphotic Model
ConclusionsAn animal model of relatively more rigid-appearing thoracic hyperkyphotic deformities in immature pigs has been created. Subsequent studies addressing management of early-onset kyphosis with spinal instrumentation are now possible.Level of EvidenceLevel V (Source: Spine Deformity)

The Ecuador Pediatric Spine Deformity Surgery Program: An SRS-GOP Site, 2008–2016
ConclusionsThe development of equitable surgical care for all children is a primary goal of the SRS. Undertaking the task to perform surgery in LMIC comes with the responsibility to monitor and maintain the highest quality. Our program was safely developed to address the surgical needs of children with good midterm HRQOL outcomes, adequate radiographic curve correction, and no permanent complications.Level of EvidenceLevel IV.

Improving Complex Pediatric and Adult Spine Care While Embracing the Value Equation
ConclusionWithout surgeon leadership in this arena, suboptimal solutions may result from the isolated intervention of regulatory bodies or payer groups. The cooperative development of standardized, team-based approaches in complex spine surgery will lead to the high-quality, high-value care for patients. (Source: Spine Deformity)

Global Sagittal Alignment and Proximal Junctional Kyphosis in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
ConclusionsOD-HA and CCOM-HA angles remain almost constant among the normal group and patients, pre- and postoperatively, whether PJK or non-PJK. Five patients without PJK and only one patient with PJK produced abnormal values relative to the asymptomatic subjects. Therefore, it could be concluded that PJK is a compensation mechanism, which allows for CCOM-HA and, to a lesser extent, OD-HA to remain invariant.Level of EvidenceLevel III.
