Journal ArticleDOI
Adjacent Segment Degeneration in the Lumbar Spine
TL;DR: Although there was a trend toward progression of the arthritic grade at the adjacent disc levels, there was no significant correlation, with the numbers available, between the preoperative arhritic grade and the need for additional surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hyperelastic “bone”: A highly versatile, growth factor–free, osteoregenerative, scalable, and surgically friendly biomaterial

TL;DR: Hyperelastic “bone” did not elicit a negative immune response, became vascularized, quickly integrated with surrounding tissues, and rapidly ossified and supported new bone growth without the need for added biological factors, set it apart from many of the materials now available for bone repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Platelet-rich plasma in orthopaedic applications: evidence-based recommendations for treatment.
Wellington K. Hsu,Allan Mishra,Scott R. Rodeo,Freddie H. Fu,Michael A. Terry,Pietro Randelli,S. Terry Canale,Frank B. Kelly +7 more
TL;DR: Autologous platelet-rich plasma therapies have seen a dramatic increase in breadth and frequency of use for orthopaedic conditions in the past 5 years, but for many conditions, there is limited reliable clinical evidence to guide the use of PRP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Disease After Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty
TL;DR: Patients undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasty are at increased risk for the development of venous thromboembolic disease, and there is general agreement that these patients require prophylaxis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Operative duration as an independent risk factor for postoperative complications in single-level lumbar fusion: an analysis of 4588 surgical cases.
TL;DR: The data suggest that increasing operative duration is associated with a wide array of complications and strategies to reduce operative time and further research to identify risk factors that are associated with longer surgical duration are needed for improved patient outcomes.
