Lumbar Spine Fusion and Stabilization: Hardware, Techniques, and Imaging Appearances
TL;DR: For an accurate postoperative assessment of spinal instrumentation and of any complications, it is important that radiologists be familiar with the normal imaging appearances of the lumbar spine after stabilization, fusion, and disk replacement with various techniques and devices.

Management of postoperative spinal infections.
TL;DR: A multidisciplinary approach to SSIs is important and it is useful to involve an infectious disease specialist and use minimum serial bactericidal titers to enhance the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy.

Spinal fixation. Part 2. Fixation techniques and hardware for the thoracic and lumbosacral spine.
TL;DR: Spinal fixation devices are used in the thoracic and lumbosacral spine to stabilize the spine, reduce deformities and fractures, and replace abnormal vertebrae and radiologists face continual changes in both surgical technique and instrumentation.

Imaging Features of Postoperative Complications After Spinal Surgery and Instrumentation
TL;DR: Radiography is the primary modality for routine follow-up, but MDCT has become the standard for optimized assessment of postoperative implants, and MRI plays a major role in the diagnosis of complications such as infection and soft-tissue lesions.

Lumbar spine after surgery for herniated disk: imaging findings in the early postoperative period.
TL;DR: This report reviews imaging of the lumbar spine in the early postoperative period (i.e., the first 6 months after surgery), focusing on the normal healing process that so often mimics complicating or recurrent disease.
