TL;DR: In nonrandomized as-treated comparisons with careful control for potentially confounding baseline factors, patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis treated surgically showed substantially greater improvement in pain and function during a period of 2 years than patients treated nonsurgically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical compared with nonoperative treatment for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis. four-year results in the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT) randomized and observational cohorts.

TL;DR: Compared with patients who are treated nonoperatively, patients in whom degenerative spondylolisthesis and associated spinal stenosis are treated surgically maintain substantially greater pain relief and improvement in function for four years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for infection after spinal surgery.
TL;DR: Understanding a patient’s preoperative risk factors may help the physician to optimize a patient's preoperative condition and increase the duration of prophylactic antibiotics or implement other measures to decrease the incidence of infection for high risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome and complications of long fusions to the sacrum in adult spine deformity: luque-galveston, combined iliac and sacral screws, and sacral fixation.
TL;DR: According to the current findings, the Luque-Galveston fixation technique has an unacceptably high rate of pseudarthrosis, and this method is not recommended for adult deformities.
