Abstract

Study design: This is a cross-sectional survey. Objective: The aim was to assess the reliability of a proposed novel classification system for thoracic disc herniations (TDHs). Summary of background data: TDHs are complex entities varying substantially in many factors, including size, location, and calcification. To date, no comprehensive system exists to categorize these lesions. Methods: Our proposed system classifies 5 types of TDHs using anatomic and clinical characteristics, with subtypes for calcification. Type 0 herniations are small (≤40% of spinal canal) TDHs without significant spinal cord or nerve root effacement; type 1 are small and paracentral; type 2 are small and central; type 3 are giant (>40% of spinal canal) and paracentral; and type 4 are giant and central. Patients with types 1 to 4 TDHs have correlative clinical and radiographic evidence of spinal cord compression. Twenty-one US spine surgeons with substantial TDH experience rated 10 illustrative cases to determine the system's reliability. Interobserver and intraobserver reliability were determined using the Fleiss kappa coefficient. Surgeons were also surveyed to obtain consensus on surgical approaches for the various TDH types. Results: High agreement was found for the classification system, with 80% (range 62% to 95%) overall agreement and high interrater and intrarater reliability (kappa 0.604 [moderate to substantial agreement] and kappa 0.630 [substantial agreement], respectively). All surgeons reported nonoperative management of type 0 TDHs. For type 1 TDHs, most respondents (71%) preferred posterior approaches. For type 2 TDHs, responses were roughly equivalent for anterolateral and posterior options. For types 3 and 4 TDHs, most respondents (72% and 68%, respectively) preferred anterolateral approaches. Conclusions: This novel classification system can be used to reliably categorize TDHs, standardize description, and potentially guide the selection of surgical approach. Validation of this system with regard to treatment and clinical outcomes represents a line of future study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

40. Management of hangman's fractures using anchored anterior cervical cages.

Author

Cho, Steve S., Farber, S. Harrison, Kiernan, Hayley, Teng, Clare W., Wanebo, Oliver R., Ponce, Francisco A., Tumialán, Luis M., and Wanebo, John E.

Abstract

Background: Hangman's fractures comprise approximately 20% of C2 fractures and often require surgery to correct significant angulation and/or subluxation. Recently, anchored anterior cervical cages (ACCs) have been used to fuse C2-3 as they reduce the risks of soft-tissue dissection, bone drilling, operative time, and postoperative dysphagia. Methods: This single-center and retrospective study (2012-2019) included 12 patients (3 type I, 6 type II, and 3 type IIa fractures) undergoing C2-3 ACCs (zero profile, half plate, full plate). Preoperative and postoperative radiographic and clinical data were analyzed. Results: The 12 patients demonstrated the following findings: a mean operative time of 106 ± 21 min, blood loss averaging 67 ± 58 mL, and mean length of stay of 9.8 ± 7.7 days (6.4 ± 5.5 days in intensive care). The mean differences in preoperative versus postoperative radiographs showed an increase in disc angle (9.0° ± 9.4° vs. 14.0° ± 7.2°), reduction of subluxation (18.5% ± 13.6% vs. 2.6% ± 6.2%), and maintenance of C2-7 lordosis (14.3° ± 9.5° vs. 14.4° ± 9.5°). All patients demonstrated fusion on dynamic films obtained >6 months postoperatively. In addition, only one patient had Grade 0 subsidence, three had transient postoperative dysphagia, whereas none had either intraoperative complications or 90-day readmissions. Conclusion: ACCs proved to be a viable alternative to traditional anterior cervical discectomy/fusion to treat 12 patients with C2-3 hangman's fractures in this preliminary study.

Abstract

Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) and lateral lumbar interbody fusion are common techniques that typically require staged procedures when performed in combination. Interest is emerging in single-position surgery to increase operative efficiency. We report a novel surgical technique, supine extended reach lateral fusion, to perform ALIF and lateral lumbar interbody fusion with the patient in a single supine position. A man in his fifties presented with degenerative levoscoliosis, spondylolisthesis, sagittal plane deformity, and progressive low back pain. He was offered L3-S1 anterolateral fusion. With the patient supine, a left abdominal paramedian incision was performed to gain anterior retroperitoneal access, and standard L5-S1 and L4-5 ALIFs were performed. The anterior incision was used for direct visualization, retraction, and bimanual dissection. A left lateral incision was then made to perform an L3-4 lateral lumbar interbody fusion. He subsequently underwent a second-stage L3-S1 posterior percutaneous fixation. The patient tolerated the procedures well, without complications. His postoperative radiograph findings confirmed acceptable implant positioning. He was discharged home in stable condition and was doing well at follow-up. This case description is the first report of the supine extended reach technique, which allows incorporation of anterior and lateral fusion constructs at adjacent levels without changing patient positioning. Many surgeons believe the ALIF to be the most powerful technique for achieving lordosis, and this technique enables concomitant lateral access in a supine position. It can also be used as an alternative strategy when anterior access to the disc space is unobtainable. Further clinical investigation of this technique is warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

In the version of this article originally published, the figure callout in this sentence was incorrect: 'Furthermore, in S1P1-KI mice themselves, whereas PD-1 blockade was ineffectual as monotherapy, the effects of 4-1BB agonism and checkpoint blockade proved additive, with the combination prolonging median survival and producing a 50% long-term survival rate (Fig. 6f).' The callout should have been to Supplementary Fig. 6b.

Abstract

Objective: The treadmill is the most commonly used aerobic exercise equipment with studies showing many gym-related injuries are attributed to treadmills. The purpose of this study is to examine the incidence of treadmill-associated head injuries within the US. Methods: Retrospective data from 1997 to 2014 was collected via the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, which provides annual es7timates of injuries associated with consumer products. Patients over 18 years who sustained treadmill-associated head injuries were included, and the estimated annual incidence was determined. Results: An estimated 4929 patients presented to US emergency departments with a head injury while exercising on a treadmill between 1997 and 2014. A >1000% increase in the number of head injuries was observed over the study period (p-value <0.001). Patients over 50 had a 14 times greater risk of admission than younger patients (p-value <0.001). Injuries were greater in women than men. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates a significant increase treadmill-associated head injuries from 1997 to 2014. This phenomenon is most pronounced in older and female populations. The exact etiology of this large increase remains unclear. Education on the proper use of treadmills as well as further investigation into the cause of the increase are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
