STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.

PURPOSE: The primary objective of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors for incidental durotomies during lumbar decompression surgeries. In addition, we aimed to determine the changes in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) based on incidental durotomy status.

OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: There is limited literature investigating the affect of incidental durotomy on patient reported outcome measures. While the majority of research does not suggest differences in complications, readmission, or revision rates, many studies rely on public databases, and their sensitivity and specificity for identifying incidental durotomies is unknown.

METHODS: Patients undergoing lumbar decompression …

Cardiolipin (CL) is a mitochondrial lipid with diverse roles in cellular respiration, signaling, and organelle membrane structure. CL content and composition are essential for proper mitochondrial function. Deranged mitochondrial energy production and signaling are key components of glial cell cancers and altered CL molecular species have been observed in mouse brain glial cell xenograft tumors. The objective of this study was to describe CL structural diversity trends in human astrocytoma tumors of varying grades and correlate these trends with histological regions within the heterogeneous astrocytoma microenvironment. To this aim, we applied desorption electrospray ionization coupled with high field asymmetric ion …

Treatment Of Angular Deformity And Limb Length Discrepancy With A Retrograde Femur Magnetic Intramedullary Nail: A Fixator-Assisted, Blocking Screw Technique, Erik J. Geiger, Adam D Geffner, S Robert Rozbruch, Austin T Fragomen

Rothman Institute Papers

Background: Fixator-assisted nailing techniques that incorporate magnetic internal lengthening nails (MILNs) permit acute deformity correction and then gradual limb lengthening without needing postoperative external fixators.

Purposes: We sought to investigate the safety and accuracy of a fixator-assisted, blocking screw technique using retrograde MILNs for the correction of LLD and limb malalignment.

Methods: Forty-one patients (13 patients with genu varum and 28 patients with genu valgum) with LLD treated with fixator-assisted, blocking screw retrograde MILN reconstruction were included. Preoperative LLD, mechanical axis deviation, and joint orientation angles were compared with values at the end of treatment, and bone healing indices were …

Purpose: Identifying relationships between clinical features and quantitative characteristics of the amygdala-hippocampal and thalamic subregions in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) may offer insights into pathophysiology and the basis for imaging prognostic markers of treatment outcome. Our aim was to ascertain different patterns of atrophy or hypertrophy in mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) patients and their associations with postsurgical seizure outcomes. To assess this aim, this study is designed in 2 folds: (1) hemispheric changes within MTS group and (2) association with postsurgical seizure outcomes.

Methods and materials: 27 mTLE subjects with mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) were scanned for conventional 3D …

Two Ais Cases, Two Surgeons, One Operating Room, One Day. The Results Of A Quality Improvement Initiative, Jonathan Warren, Robert C. Link, Sean Bonanni, John T. Anderson, Richard M. Schwend

Research Days

Background: To lessen surgical times for AIS patients undergoing posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion (PSIF), our department developed a quality improvement initiative where two AIS cases were completed in one day by a specialized team with two surgeons operating together in the same operating room (OR).

Objectives/Goal: We describe the results of this initiative and compare operative times and blood loss between cases to determine if operative time improves as experience with this structure increases.

Methods/Design: From 2017-2023, patients aged 10-18 years with AIS were prospectively scheduled to undergo primary PSIF on the dedicated “Two Spine Tuesday” at our institution. …


Preoperative Srs-22 Scores Predict Postoperative Achievement Of Distribution-Based Mcid In Ais Patients Treated With Posterior Spinal Instrumentation And Fusion, Jonathan Warren, Cyrus Etebari, Morgan Whitmire, Kenneth Furlough, Brant Ansley, John T.

Preoperative Srs-22 Scores Predict Postoperative Achievement Of Distribution-Based Mcid In Ais Patients Treated With Posterior Spinal Instrumentation And Fusion, Jonathan Warren, Cyrus Etebari, Morgan Whitmire, Kenneth Furlough, Brant Ansley, John T. Anderson, Richard M. Schwend

Research Days

Background: There is a growing body of literature assessing the role of preoperative patientreported outcome measures in predicting postoperative achievement of the minimal clinically important difference (MCID). To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies assessing whether preoperative SRS-22 scores are predictive of postoperative achievement of MCID in patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Objectives/Goal: Our purpose is to determine if preoperative SRS-22 scores in patients with AIS who undergo posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion can predict postoperative achievement of MCID.

Methods/Design: SRS-22 forms were provided to all patients scheduled to undergo posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion. MCID …
