Journal ArticleDOI
Heterotopic Ossification in High-Energy Wartime Extremity Injuries: Prevalence and Risk Factors
Jonathan A. Forsberg,Joseph M. Pepek,Scott C. Wagner,Kevin Wilson,James Flint,Romney C. Andersen,Doug K. Tadaki,Frederick A. Gage,Alexander Stojadinovic,Eric A. Elster +9 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of heterotopic ossification in war-wounded patients is higher than that in civilian trauma, and trends associated with local wound conditions were identified, suggesting that systemic causes predominate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrasite vancomycin powder for the prevention of surgical site infection in spine surgery: a systematic literature review.
TL;DR: Based on the limited literature and evidence currently available, there appears to be a protective effect of intrasite vancomycin powder on the incidence of SSI, without evidence of side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of osteoporosis in spine surgery.
TL;DR: Management of osteoporosis in patients undergoing spine surgery is challenging, but with appropriate patient selection, medical optimization, and surgical techniques, these patients can experience pain relief, deformity correction, and improved function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bilateral pedicle screw fixation provides superior biomechanical stability in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: a finite element study
Divya V. Ambati,Divya V. Ambati,Edward K. Wright,Edward K. Wright,Edward K. Wright,Ronald A. Lehman,Ronald A. Lehman,Daniel G. Kang,Scott C. Wagner,Anton E. Dmitriev,Anton E. Dmitriev,Anton E. Dmitriev +11 more
TL;DR: The shape or number of interbody implants does not appear to impact the segmental stability when bilateral pedicle screws are used, and increased posterior instrumentation stresses were observed in all loading modes with unilateral pedicle screw/rod fixation, which may theoretically accelerate implant loosening or increase the risk of construct failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosing the Undiagnosed: Osteoporosis in Patients Undergoing Lumbar Fusion.
TL;DR: A large proportion of patients older than 50 years undergoing TLIF had HU levels consistent with undiagnosed osteoporosis of the lumbar spine, and HU may be an alternative to screening preoperative dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan and can minimize costs and resource utilization.
