Journal ArticleDOI
Radiographical spinopelvic parameters and disability in the setting of adult spinal deformity: a prospective multicenter analysis.
Frank J. Schwab,Benjamin Blondel,Benjamin Blondel,Shay Bess,Richard A. Hostin,Christopher I. Shaffrey,Justin S. Smith,Oheneba Boachie-Adjei,Douglas C. Burton,Behrooz A. Akbarnia,Gregory M. Mundis,Christopher P. Ames,Khaled M. Kebaish,Robert A. Hart,J.-P. Farcy,Virginie Lafage +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated correlations between spinopelvic parameters and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores in patients with spinal deformity and found that spinopels can provide a more complete assessment of the sagittal plane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy and Safety of Surgical Decompression in Patients with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: Results of the AOSpine North America Prospective Multi-Center Study
Michael G. Fehlings,Jefferson R. Wilson,Branko Kopjar,Sangwook Tim Yoon,Paul Arnold,Eric M. Massicotte,Alexander R. Vaccaro,Darrel S. Brodke,Christopher I. Shaffrey,Justin S. Smith,Eric J. Woodard,Robert Banco,Jens R. Chapman,Michael Janssen,Christopher M. Bono,Rick C. Sasso,Mark B. Dekutoski,Ziya L. Gokaslan +17 more
TL;DR: Surgical decompression for the treatment of cervical spondylotic myelopathy was associated with improvement in functional, disability-related, and quality-of-life outcomes at one year of follow-up for all disease severity categories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rates of infection after spine surgery based on 108,419 procedures: a report from the Scoliosis Research Society Morbidity and Mortality Committee.
Justin S. Smith,Christopher I. Shaffrey,Charles A. Sansur,Sigurd Berven,Kai-Ming G. Fu,Paul A. Broadstone,Theodore J. Choma,Michael Goytan,Hilali Noordeen,Dennis R. Knapp,Robert A. Hart,William F. Donaldson,David W. Polly,Joseph H. Perra,Oheneba Boachie-Adjei +14 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that postsurgical infection, even among skilled spine surgeons, is an inherent potential complication, and general benchmarks of infection rates are provided as a basis for ongoing efforts to improve safety of care.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Comprehensive Anatomical Spinal Osteotomy Classification
Frank J. Schwab,Benjamin Blondel,Benjamin Blondel,Edward Chay,Jason Demakakos,Lawrence G. Lenke,Patrick Tropiano,Christopher P. Ames,Justin S. Smith,Christopher I. Shaffrey,Steven D. Glassman,Jean-Pierre Farcy,Virginie Lafage +12 more
TL;DR: This proposed anatomically based classification system provides a consistent description of the various osteotomies performed in spinal deformity correction surgery and will provide a common frame for osteotomy assessment and permit comparative analysis of different treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk-benefit assessment of surgery for adult scoliosis: an analysis based on patient age.
Justin S. Smith,Christopher I. Shaffrey,Steven D. Glassman,Sigurd Berven,Frank J. Schwab,Christopher L. Hamill,William C. Horton,Stephen L. Ondra,Charles A. Sansur,Keith H. Bridwell +9 more
TL;DR: These data demonstrate the potential benefits of surgical treatment for adult scoliosis and suggest that the elderly, despite facing the greatest risk of complications, may stand to gain a disproportionately greater improvement in disability and pain with surgery.
