Prediction of Postoperative Segmental Lordosis at L5 to S1 After Single-Level Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Open
Cage angle and preoperative L5 to S1 SL were predictive of postoperative SL after L5 to S1 ALIF. The ability to predict postoperative radiographic values is critically important for good patient outcomes, and efforts should be made to deve…

Obesity and Clinical, Radiographic, and Surgical Outcomes After Minimally Invasive Single-Level Transforaminal versus Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion Open
Obesity was associated with poorer overall radiographic and surgical outcomes after MIS TLIF but not LLIF. In obese patients in our cohort, LLIF provided superior improvements in spinopelvic parameters and surgical characteristics. BMI sho…

Diagnostic predictive values for sport-related concussions: a systematic review and diagnostic meta-analysis Open
OBJECTIVE Sport-related concussions (SRCs) can cause significant neurological symptoms, and approximately 10%–15% of athletes with SRC experience a prolonged recovery. Given the lack of visible injury on brain imaging and their varied pres…

Safe dissection and complication avoidance for L1–2 interbody placement via a lateral access approach Open
The lateral access approach for L1–2 interbody placement or other levels at or near the thoracolumbar junction may be difficult without proper knowledge and visualization of anatomy. Specifically, understanding where the fibers of the diap…

Mini-open lateral retropleural thoracic discectomy approach Open
The lateral retropleural approach provides an eloquent, mini-open, safe corridor to address various pathologies in the thoracolumbar spine, including herniated thoracic discs. Traditional approaches (e.g., transpedicular, costotransversect…

Response to letter to editor regarding Immunoglobulin G4‐related disease in a dog Open
Thank you for the opportunity to address the points made by Drs. Watson et al on our recent case of immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) in a dog. We agree that development of diagnostic criteria of IgG4-RD in dogs deserves attentio…

Immunoglobulin G4‐related disease in a dog Open
Immunoglobulin G4‐related disease (IgG4‐RD), which affects many organ systems, has been recognized as a distinct clinical entity in human medicine for just over a decade but has not been previously identified in dogs. In humans, IgG4‐RD is…

Comparison of CT versus MRI measurements of transverse atlantal ligament integrity in craniovertebral junction injuries. Part 2: A new CT-based alternative for assessing transverse ligament integrity Open
OBJECTIVE The rule of Spence is inaccurate for assessing integrity of the transverse atlantal ligament (TAL). Because CT is quick and easy to perform at most trauma centers, the authors propose a novel sequence of obtaining 2 CT scans to i…
