Osteotomies/spinal column resections in adult deformity
TL;DR: Vertebral osteotomies are technically challenging but effective procedures for the correction of severe adult deformity and should be performed by experienced surgeons to prevent catastrophic complications.
Traction X-ray under general anesthesia helps to save motion segment in treatment of Lenke type 3C and 6C curves
TL;DR: Evaluating the effectiveness of the traction X-ray under general anesthesia (TrUGA) method in saving the L4 in patients with Lenke types 3C and 6C curves concluded that TrUGA may be an alternative method for selection of fusion methods in surgical treatment of structural lumbar curves.

Reconstruction of the subaxial cervical spine using lateral mass and facet screw instrumentation.
TL;DR: Lateral mass screws provide rigid fixation and high fusion rates in patients with healthy bone and Transfacet screw fixation is another method less commonly used and with better biomechanical stability.
