Fat Thickness as a Risk Factor for Infection in Lumbar Spine Surgery
John J. Lee,Khalid Odeh,Sven A. Holcombe,Rakesh D. Patel,Stewart C. Wang,James A. Goulet,Gregory P. Graziano +6 more
TL;DR: Results confirm the hypothesis that local subcutaneous fat thickness is a better indicator than body mass index of the risk of surgical site infection in lumbar spine procedures.

Pedicle Screws Challenged: Lumbar Cortical Density and Thickness Are Greater in the Posterior Elements Than in the Pedicles.
TL;DR: Extrapedicular regions of the lumbar vertebrae, including the lamina and inferior articular process, contain denser bone than the pedicles, since screw pullout strength relies greatly on bone density, which may offer stronger fixation of thelumbar spine.

Alexander Rosinski,Ashish Mittal,Khalid Odeh,Victor Ungurean,Jeremi Leasure,Connor Telles,Dimitriy Kondrashov +6 more
TL;DR: CBT and non-pedicular fixation may be preferred in certain lumbar degenerative cases, particularly among patients with osteoporosis, and have been shown to significantly improve fusion rates and clinical outcomes compared with stand-alone anteriorlumbar interbody fusion.

High Prevalence of Multifocal Spine Infections Involving the Cervical and Thoracic Regions: A Case for Imaging the Entire Spine

- 08 Jul 2019
TL;DR: The spinal region was the only statistically significant risk factor for multifocal infection and patients who are diagnosed with a spinal infection that requires operative treatment should have their entire spine evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging to detect multifocal involvement promptly.
Motion Preservation at All Costs? Multilevel Hinge Nonunion, Plate Breakage, and Intradural Plate Migration After Cervical Laminoplasty: A Case Report and Literature Review.
TL;DR: A 61-year-old male with a history of cervical spondylotic myelopathy treated with C3-C7 laminoplasty seven years prior presented to the authors' hospital with severe headaches and electrical-type pain through the left upper and lower extremities.
