TL;DR: Overall, this study suggests that PJK patients were overcorrected when compared to age-adjusted alignment goals, emphasizing the need for surgeons to incorporate age-specific alignment targets into the standard preoperative planning process.

TL;DR: This meta-analysis identified significant risk factors for SSI following spine arthrodesis that included potentially modifiable factors such as obesity, diabetes, smoking status and procedure-related parameters that may prove useful for patient counseling as well as surgical planning.

TL;DR: A novel virtual modeling technique developed on a retrospective ASD cohort of patients with multilevel spinal fusions to the pelvis with at least 2-year postoperative follow-up demonstrated strong correlations with actual postoperative alignment.

TL;DR: Cost-utility analysis suggests that BMP use may be favored in ASD surgery; however, this determination requires further research.

TL;DR: Comparison of the three groups shows a significant correlation between tcMMEP and endpoint neurologic outcome, and suggests that a 10% delay in onset latency would be an appropriate threshold for responding to changes intcMMEP.
