General and Spine-Specific Sarcopenia in Adult Spinal Deformity: a Narrative Overview of Current Strengths and Limitations Open
Study Design Narrative Review. Objectives Recent studies have separated assessment of sarcopenia into two main categories within spine surgery: (1) general sarcopenia assessing systemic muscle degeneration and (2) spine-specific sarcopenia…

Simulating Federated Learning to Enable Multi‐Hospital Collaboration for Lumbopelvic Alignment Estimation Open
Background Accurate computation of radiological parameters related to spinal alignment is clinically crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions, such as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and adult spinal deformities. Key parameters, incl…

Predicting mechanical complications in adult spinal deformity patients with postoperative proportioned and moderately disproportioned alignment Open
Objective: Mechanical complications are common after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery and can significantly impair outcomes. This study aimed to predict such complications in proportioned and moderately disproportioned patients using a…

Abdominal wall tension after spinal deformity correction compromises postoperative biomechanics and may contribute to proximal junctional kyphosis Open
Purpose Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a common complication after fusion surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). Tissue adaptation to deformity may cause abdominal wall shortening/stiffening. This study evaluated, using musculosk…

Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning (PPML) Inference for Clinically Actionable Models Open
Machine learning (ML) refers to algorithms (often models) that are learned directly from data, germane to past experience. As algorithms have constantly been evolving with the exponential increase of computing power and vastly generated da…
