TL;DR: A new proposed classification system for thoracolumbar (TL) spine injuries, including injury severity assessment, designed to assist in clinical management and to facilitate clinical decision-making as a practical alternative to cumbersome classification systems already in use is devised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reliability analysis of the epidural spinal cord compression scale.
Mark H. Bilsky,Ilya Laufer,Daryl R. Fourney,Michael W. Groff,Meic H. Schmidt,Péter Varga,Frank D. Vrionis,Yoshiya Yamada,Peter C. Gerszten,Timothy R. Kuklo +9 more
TL;DR: The ESCC scale provides a valid and reliable instrument that may be used to describe the degree of ESCC based on T2-weighted MR images and may beUsed to provide an ESCC classification scheme for multicenter clinical trial and outcome studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimum 5-year analysis of L5-S1 fusion using sacropelvic fixation (bilateral S1 and iliac screws) for spinal deformity.
TL;DR: For high-grade spondylolisthesis and long adult deformity fusions to the sacrum, a montage of bilateral S1 screws and iliac screws were effective in protecting the sacral screws from failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: clinical and radiographic results and complications in 100 consecutive patients
Benjamin K. Potter,Brett A. Freedman,Eric G Verwiebe,Jordan M Hall,David W. Polly,Timothy R. Kuklo,Timothy R. Kuklo +6 more
TL;DR: TLIF is a safe and effective method of achieving lumbar fusion with a 93% radiographic fusion success and a nearly 80% rate of overall patient satisfaction but frequently results in incomplete relief of symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimum 2-year analysis of sacropelvic fixation and L5-S1 fusion using S1 and iliac screws.

TL;DR: Bilateral iliac screws coupled with bilateral S1 screws provide excellent distal fixation for lumbosacral fusions with a high fusion rate (95.1%) in high-grade spondylolisthesis and long fusions to the sacrum in ambulatory adults.
