Effect of the Ultrasonic Bone Scalpel on Blood Loss During Pediatric Spinal Deformity Correction Surgery
ConclusionsThe ultrasonic bone scalpel is effective in reducing blood loss in AIS and NMS deformity correction surgery. Surgical time is not adversely affected by its use.Level of EvidenceLevel II, cohort study. (Source: Spine Deformity)

What Factors Are Associated With Kyphosis Restoration in Lordotic Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients?
ConclusionKyphosis restoration in patients with preoperative lordosis in the thoracic sagittal plane is possible. In this analysis, there was not one single technique identified as being solely responsible for the ability to restore kyphosis. The most predictive factor identified was the surgeon performing the correction, which is likely a reflection of focus on deformity correction in three planes, as well as a combination of methods used to restore kyphosis.Level of EvidenceLevel III, therapeutic.

Lumbar Retrolisthesis Compensates Spinal Kyphosis
ConclusionsSubjects with lumbar retrolisthesis showed greater spinal kyphosis and worse spinopelvic alignments. Subjects with lower-generated lumbar retrolisthesis showed worse spinopelvic alignment and HRQOL than subjects with upper-generated lumbar retrolisthesis and multiple ones and those without it.Level of EvidenceLevel IV.

Rigorous Correction of Sagittal Vertical Axis Is Correlated With Better ODI Outcomes After Extensive Corrective Fusion in Elderly or Extremely Elderly Patients With Spinal Deformity
ConclusionsRigorous realignment of sagittal vertical axis is correlated with ODI outcomes, especially in very elderly patients.Level of EvidenceLevel 4. (Source: Spine Deformity)

Revision Risk After Primary Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery: A Nationwide Study With Two-Year Follow-up
ConclusionsThe revision risk within 2 years after primary ASD surgery was 19.9% nationwide in Denmark, and implant failure was the most common reason for revision. Increased comorbidity and age were separately associated with increased risk of revision.Level of EvidenceLevel II. (Source: Spine Deformity)

Cultural Variations in the Minimum Clinically Important Difference Thresholds for SRS-22R After Surgery for Adult Spinal Deformity
ConclusionsResults of this study showed that cultural variations exist for MCID threshold values for SRS-22 Activity, Pain, Mental domains, and Total score after surgical treatment of ASD. (Source: Spine Deformity)

A Multicenter Study of the Epidemiology of Deep Surgical Site Infections in Children With Nonidiopathic Early-Onset Scoliosis Including Associated Pathogens
ConclusionThe risk of SSIs can potentially be reduced for this vulnerable population by routinely reviewing the local epidemiology of SSIs, including the associated pathogens and their susceptibility patterns. As GNR susceptibility to cefazolin was only 41%, expanding prophylaxis to include aminoglycosides for GNR is prudent.Level of EvidenceLevel IV. (Source: Spine Deformity)

Adiposity-Age Distribution and Nutritional Status in Girls With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
ConclusionsThe proportion of adolescents with obesity was twofold higher among AIS girls than in age-matched healthy controls. However, in AIS girls, the BFI differed from that shown by healthy peers, being lower along the middle adolescence period (13–15 years). AIS girls showed an important increase in underweight at late adolescence (16–17 years).Level of EvidenceLevel III, diagnostic. (Source: Spine Deformity)

Cost-Effectiveness of Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods: Who Really Benefits?
ConclusionsMCGR implantation has a significantly higher charge than TGR, secondary to the higher expense of MCGR implants. Despite this, total institutional reimbursement is similar between the two procedures. Although MCGRs have been shown to be “cost effective” after 3 years, our findings suggest health care institutions bear the cost of this new technology while payers gain the long-term financial benefit.Level of EvidenceLevel III, economic analysis.
