Abstract
Corrective spine surgery for spinal deformities, such as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and adult spinal deformity (ASD), aims to enhance the quality of life by addressing physical impairments. However, the extent of patient satisfaction after surgery, which includes pain management, functional recovery, and psychological contentment, exhibits considerable variation across different cultural and geographical landscapes. This review describes the influence of cultural and regional disparities on postoperative satisfaction in AIS and ASD surgery with a particular emphasis on the disparities between the US and Japan. This review underscores the intricate relationship between surgical outcomes and patient-reported satisfaction metrics. The investigation reveals significant contrasts in patient satisfaction and clinical results between these 2 countries, attributed to divergent cultural expectations, lifestyle adaptations, and perceptions of bodily image. These distinctions are crucial for healthcare professionals to recognize, as they necessitate a culturally nuanced approach to patient care. This comparative review not only enhances the understanding of patient experiences across cultures but also provides valuable guidance for physicians in customizing their strategies to align with the varied expectations of their patients, thereby improving postoperative satisfaction and overall quality of life. This review emphasizes the necessity of a tailored and culturally sensitive approach to managing spinal deformities, underscoring the need to factor in cultural and regional elements to enhance patient satisfaction and surgical outcomes.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES To define the prognosis and predictive factors for neurological improvement in older patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) of American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale grade C (AIS-C). SETTINGS Multi-institutions in Japan. METHODS We included patients aged ≥65 years with traumatic SCI of AIS-C who were treated conservatively or surgically with >3 follow-up months. To identify factors related to neurological improvement, patients were divided into three groups according to their neurological status at the final follow-up, with univariate among-group comparisons of demographics, radiographic, and therapeutic factors. Significant variables were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Overall, 296 older patients with SCI of AIS-C on admission were identified (average age: 75.2 years, average follow-up: 18.7 months). Among them, 190 (64.2%) patients improved to AIS-D and 21 (7.1%) patients improved to AIS-E at final follow-up. There were significant among-group differences in age (p = 0.026), body mass index (p = 0.007), status of pre-traumatic activities of daily living (ADL) (p = 0.037), and serum albumin concentrations (p = 0.011). Logistic regression analysis showed no significant differences in variables in the stratified group of patients who improved to AIS-D. Meanwhile, serum albumin was a significant variable in patients who improved to AIS-E (p = 0.026; OR: 6.20, pre-traumatic ADL was omitted due to data skewness). CONCLUSIONS Most older patients with incomplete AIS-C SCI demonstrated at least 1 grade of neurological improvement. However, <10% of patients achieved complete recovery. Key predictors of complete recovery were high serum albumin levels on admission and independent pre-traumatic ADL. SPONSORSHIP No funding was received for this study.

Abstract
This retrospective cohort study established malnutrition's impact on mortality and neurological recovery of older patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). It included patients aged ≥ 65 years with traumatic cervical SCI treated conservatively or surgically. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index was calculated to assess nutritional-related risk. Overall, 789 patients (mean follow-up: 20.1 months) were examined and 47 had major nutritional-related risks on admission. One-year mortality rate, median survival time, neurological recovery, and activities of daily living (ADL) at 1 year post-injury were compared between patients with major nutrition-related risk and matched controls selected using 1:2 propensity score matching to adjust for age, pre-traumatic neurological impairment, and activity. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the median survival times were 44.9 and 76.5 months for patients with major nutrition-related risk and matched controls, respectively (p = 0.015). Matched controls had more individuals with a neurological improvement of American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale ≥ 1 grade (p = 0.039) and independence in ADL at 1 year post-injury than patients with major nutrition-related risk (p < 0.05). In conclusion, 6% of older patients with cervical SCI had major nutrition-related risks; they showed a significantly higher 1 year mortality rate, shorter survival time, poorer neurological improvement, and lower ADL at 1 year post-injury than matched controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although previous studies have demonstrated the advantages of early surgery for traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), the appropriate surgical timing for cervical SCIs (CSCIs) without bone injury remains controversial. Here, we investigated the influence of relatively early surgery within 48 h of injury on the neurological recovery of elderly patients with CSCI and no bone injury. METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study, we reviewed data from 159 consecutive patients aged ≥65 years with CSCI without bone injury who underwent surgery in participating centers between 2010 and 2020. Patients were followed up for at least 6 months following CSCI. We divided patients into relatively early (≤48 h after CSCI, n = 24) and late surgery (>48 h after CSCI, n = 135) groups, and baseline characteristics and neurological outcomes were compared between them. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with neurological recovery. RESULTS The relatively early surgery group demonstrated a lower prevalence of cardiac disease, poorer baseline American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale grade, and lower baseline ASIA motor score (AMS) than those of the late surgery group (P < 0.030, P < 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively). Although the AMS was lower in the relatively early surgery group at 6 months following injury (P = 0.001), greater improvement in this score from baseline to 6-months post injury was observed (P = 0.010). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that relatively early surgery did not affect postoperative improvement in AMS, rather, lower baseline AMS was associated with better AMS improvement (P < 0.001). Delirium (P = 0.006), pneumonia (P = 0.030), and diabetes mellitus (P = 0.039) negatively influenced postoperative improvement. CONCLUSIONS Although further validation by future studies is required, relatively early surgery did not show a positive influence on neurological recovery after CSCI without bone injury in the elderly.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVES The effectiveness of early surgery for cervical spinal injury (CSI) has been demonstrated. However, whether early surgery improves outcomes in the elderly remains unclear. This study investigated whether early surgery for CSI in elderly affects complication rates and neurological outcomes. METHODS This retrospective multicenter study included 462 patients. We included patients with traumatic acute cervical spinal cord injury aged ≥65 years who were treated surgically, whereas patients with American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale E, those with unknown operative procedures, and those waiting for surgery for >1 month were excluded. The minimum follow-up period was 6 months. Sixty-five patients (early group, 14.1%) underwent surgical treatment within 24 hours, whereas the remaining 397 patients (85.9%) underwent surgery on a standby basis (delayed group). The propensity score-matched cohorts of 63 cases were compared. RESULTS Patients in the early group were significantly younger, had significantly more subaxial dislocations (and fractures), tetraplegia, significantly lower ASIA motor scores, and ambulatory abilities 6 months after injury. However, no significant differences in the rate of complications, ambulatory abilities, or ASIA Impairment Scale scores 6 months after injury were observed between the matched cohorts. At 6 months after injury, 61% of the patients in the early group (25% unsupported and 36% supported) and 53% of the patients in the delayed group (34% unsupported and 19% supported) were ambulatory. CONCLUSIONS Early surgery is possible for CSI in elderly patients as the matched cohort reveals no significant difference in complication rates and neurological or ambulatory recovery between the early and delayed surgery groups.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective Cohort Study. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognosis of respiratory function in elderly patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and to identify predictive factors. METHODS We included 1353 cases of elderly cervical SCI patients collected from 78 institutions in Japan. Patients who required early tracheostomy and ventilator management and those who developed respiratory complications were defined as the respiratory disability group. Patients' background characteristics, injury mechanism, injury form, neurological disability, complications, and treatment methods were compared between the disability and non-disability groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the independent factors. Patients who required respiratory management for 6 months or longer after injury and those who died of respiratory complications were classified into the severe disability group and were compared with minor cases who were weaned off the respirator. RESULTS A total of 104 patients (7.8%) had impaired respiratory function. Comparisons between the disabled and non-disabled groups and between the severe and mild injury groups yielded distinct trends. In multiple logistic regression analysis, age, blood glucose level, presence of ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), anterior vertebral hematoma, and critical paralysis were selected as independent risk factors. CONCLUSION Age, OPLL, severe paralysis, anterior vertebral hematoma, hypoalbuminemia, and blood glucose level at the time of injury were independent factors for respiratory failure. Hyperglycemia may have a negative effect on respiratory function in this condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reoperation is usually associated with poor results and increased morbidity and hospital costs. However, the rates, causes, and risk factors for reoperation in patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion surgery remain controversial. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for early reoperation after posterior lumbar interbody fusion surgery and to compare the clinical outcomes between patients who underwent reoperation and those who did not. METHODS We investigated a multicenter medical record database of 1263 patients who underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion surgery between 2012 and 2015. A total of 72 (5.7%) reoperations within two years after surgery were identified and were propensity-matched for age, sex, number of fusion segments, and surgeon's experience. RESULTS We analyzed a total of 114 patients (57 who underwent reoperation (R group) and 57 who did not (C group)). The mean age was 62.6 ± 13.4 years, with 78 men and 36 women. The mean number of fused segments was 1.2 ± 0.5. Surgical site infection was the most common cause of reoperation. There were significant differences in the incidence of diabetes mellitus (p = 0.024), preoperative ambulation status (p = 0.046), and ASA grade (p < 0.001) between the C and R groups. The recovery rate of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score was significantly lower in the R group compared to the C group (R: 50.5 ± 28.8%, C: 63.9 ± 33.7%, p = 0.024). There were significant differences in the bone fusion rate (R: 63.2%, C: 96.5%, p < 0.001) and incidence of screw loosening (R: 31.6%; C: 10.5%; p = 0.006). CONCLUSION Diabetes mellitus, preoperative ambulation status, and ASA grade were significant risk factors for early reoperation following posterior lumbar interbody fusion surgery. The patients who underwent early reoperation had worse clinical outcomes than those who did not.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the surgical release of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) is required for residual congenital muscular torticollis (CMT), the surgical outcomes between bipolar and unipolar SCM release remained unclear. The purpose of the present study was to assess surgical outcomes after bipolar and unipolar release of SCM in adolescent/adult patients with neglected CMT. METHODS Twenty-one consecutive adolescent/adult patients with neglected CMT who underwent surgical treatment were enrolled. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were evaluated at preoperative and final follow-up. RESULTS The bipolar release of SCM was performed in 3 patients (B group; males, n = 1, females, n = 2) and the unipolar release of SCM in 18 patients (U group; males, n = 6, females, n = 12). The mean age at surgery was 40.0 ± 17.0 years in Group B, and that was 32.3 ± 13.1 years in Group U (p = 0.47). The mean follow-up period was 16.0 ± 5.7 months in Group B and 10.4 ± 7.6 months in Group U (p = 0.22). Cervicomandibular angle correction rates were comparable at 75.4 ± 2.4% for the B group and 73.1 ± 11.7% for the U group (p = 0.62). There was no significant difference in clinical outcome according to the modified Cheng and Tang score between the two groups (p = 0.89). No major complications arose, although one patient exhibited a transient neurological deficit of the greater auricular nerve, and one patient developed a hematoma in the B group. CONCLUSIONS The unipolar SCM release appeared to be a non-inferiority and less invasive procedure, minimizing surgical scars and avoiding potential auricular nerve damage in adolescent/adult patients with neglected CMT.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether a trunk orthosis with joints providing resistive force (TORF) modifies sagittal malalignment during level walking in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Fifteen patients, 6 months after undergoing surgery for LSS, performed level walking at a self-selected speed while wearing a TORF. Dynamic sagittal alignment, including sagittal vertical axis, lumbar lordosis, and pelvic tilt, and spatiotemporal data as well as lower limb kinematic and kinetic data were recorded using a three-dimensional motion analysis system and six force plates. Statistical analysis was performed to compare these data with and without the TORF, respectively. Compared to the condition without the TORF, the use of the TORF significantly decreased positive sagittal vertical axis (p < 0.05) and increased the lumbar lordosis and pelvic tilt (p < 0.05). Peak hip flexion angle and extension moment during loading response (LR) significantly increased (p < 0.05), and peak hip extension angle and flexion moment during PS statistically decreased (p < 0.05). There was no difference in spatiotemporal data between the two conditions. Our findings suggest that TORF may modify the dynamic sagittal global alignment and lower limb kinematic and kinetics in postoperative LSS patients during level walking.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the impact of early post-injury respiratory dysfunction for neurological and ambulatory ability recovery in patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and/or fractures. METHODS We included 1,353 elderly patients with SCI and/or fractures from 78 institutions in Japan. Patients who required early tracheostomy and ventilator management and those who developed respiratory complications were included in the respiratory dysfunction group, which was further classified into mild and severe respiratory groups based on respiratory weaning management. Patient characteristics, laboratory data, neurological impairment scale scores, complications at injury, and surgical treatment were evaluated. We performed a propensity score-matched analysis to compare neurological outcomes and mobility between groups. RESULTS Overall, 104 patients (7.8%) had impaired respiratory function. In propensity score-matched analysis, the respiratory dysfunction group had a lower home discharge and ambulation rates (p = 0.018, p = 0.001, respectively), and higher rate of severe paralysis (p < 0.001) at discharge. At the final follow-up, the respiratory dysfunction group had a lower ambulation rate (p = 0.004) and higher rate of severe paralysis (p < 0.001). Twenty-six patients with severe disability required respiratory management for up to 6 months post-injury and died of respiratory complications. The mild and severe respiratory dysfunction groups had a high percentage of severe paraplegic cases with low ambulatory ability; there was no significant difference between them. The severe respiratory dysfunction group tended to have a poorer prognosis. CONCLUSION Respiratory dysfunction in elderly patients with SCI and/or cervical fracture in the early post-injury period reflects the severity of the condition and may be a useful prognostic predictor.

Abstract
Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery aims to correct abnormal spinal curvature in adults, leading to improved functionality and reduced pain. However, this surgery is associated with various complications, one of which is proximal junctional failure (PJF). PJF can have a significant impact on a patient's quality of life, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its causes and the development of effective management strategies. This review aims to provide an in-depth understanding of PJF in ASD surgery. PJF is a complex complication resulting from a multitude of factors including patient characteristics, surgical techniques, and postoperative management. Age, osteoporosis, overcorrection of sagittal alignment, and poor bone quality are identified as significant risk factors. The clinical implications of PJF are substantial, often requiring revision surgery and causing a considerable decrease in patients' quality of life. Prevention strategies include careful preoperative planning, appropriate patient selection, and optimization of surgical techniques. Treatment often necessitates a multifaceted approach, including surgical intervention and the management of underlying risk factors. Predictive modeling is an emerging field that may offer a promising avenue for the risk stratification of patients and individualized preventive strategies. A thorough understanding of PJF's pathogenesis, risk factors, and clinical implications is essential for surgeons involved in ASD surgery. Current preventive measures and treatment strategies aim to mitigate the risk and manage the complications of PJF, but the complication cannot be entirely prevented. Future research should focus on the development of more effective preventive and treatment strategies, and predictive models could be valuable in this pursuit.

Navigation-Assisted Micro-Window Excision of Thoracic Ossification of Ligamentum Flavum (Mishima Surgery) in Professional Baseball Pitchers: A Case Report and Technical Note. Medicina (Kaunas) 2023; 59:1303.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) often causes myelopathy and/or radiculopathy. The disease is frequently observed in East Asian populations. Although thoracic OLF in young athletes who have underwent decompression surgery has been reported, the removal of posterior spinal bony elements and ligamentous complex may often cause postoperative thoracolumbar instability. We established a novel surgical technique that preserves the posterior spinal elements, including the spinous processes, facet joints, and supraspinous and interspinous ligaments for thoracic OLF. This is the first case report to describe a navigation-assisted micro-window excision of thoracic OLF. Case: A 32-year-old male right-handed professional baseball pitcher with significant weakness and numbness in the left leg was referred to our hospital. The patient was diagnosed with thoracic OLF at T10-11 based on radiographic and magnetic resonance images in August 2022. After exposure of the left T10-11 laminae via a small unilateral incision, the location of T10-11 OLF was detected over the lamina by O-arm navigation. Then, the micro-window was made directly above the OLF using a navigated air drill, and the OLF was removed on the ipsilateral side. The contralateral side of OLF was also resected through the same micro-window, achieving complete spinal cord decompression. Results: The next day of the surgery, his leg weakness and numbness were significantly improved. Six weeks after the surgery, he started pitching. Three months after surgery, his symptoms had gone completely, and he pitched from the mound. Approximately 6 months after surgery, he successfully pitched in a professional baseball game. Conclusions: A navigation-assisted micro-window excision of thoracic OLF effectively preserved the spinal posterior bony elements and ligamentous complex. However, long-term clinical outcomes should be evaluated in future studies.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the prognosis of elderly patients with injuries related to cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (cDISH) to matched control for each group, with and without fractures. METHODS The current multicenter study was a retrospective analysis of 140 patients aged 65 years or older with cDISH-related cervical spine injuries; 106 fractures and 34 spinal cord injuries without fracture were identified. Propensity score-matched cohorts from 1363 patients without cDISH were generated and compared. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk of early mortality for patients with cDISH-related injury. RESULTS Patients with cDISH-related injuries with fracture did not differ significantly in the incidence of each complication and ambulation or severity of paralysis compared to matched controls. In patients with cDISH-related injury without fracture, those who were nonambulatory at discharge comprised 55% vs 34% of controls, indicating significantly poorer ambulation in those with cDISH-related injuries (P = .023). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications and ambulation or paralysis severity at 6 months as compared with controls. Fourteen patients died within 3 months. Logistic regression analysis identified complete paralysis (odds ratio [OR] 36.99) and age (OR 1.24) as significant risk factors for mortality. CONCLUSIONS The current study showed no significant differences in the incidence of complications, ambulation outcomes between patients with cDISH-related injury with fracture and matched controls, and that the ambulation at discharge for patients with cDISH-related injury without fractures were significantly inferior to those of matched controls.

Abstract
Background The radiographic outcomes of nonoperative treatment of dropped head syndrome are still unknown. The purpose of the present study was to assess the change in sagittal spinopelvic radiographic parameters after the short and intensive rehabilitation (SHAiR) program in patients with dropped head syndrome. Methods This study included 48 consecutive patients with dropped head syndrome who presented with an inability to maintain horizontal gaze and who underwent the SHAiR program during the period of 2018 to 2019. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their ability to maintain horizontal gaze at the time of final follow-up: those who had regained horizontal gaze (the "effective" group) and those who had not regained horizontal gaze (the "noneffective" group). Sagittal radiographic parameters including the sagittal vertical axis (SVA), the C2-7 angle, the C2-7 SVA, T1 slope, thoracic kyphosis of T1-5 and T5-12, lumbar lordosis, pelvic tilt, pelvic incidence, sacral slope, and curve flexibility, and demographic data and clinical outcomes were compared between the 2 groups using an unpaired t test, chi-square test, and Fisher exact test, as appropriate. Results Thirty-five patients in the effective group and 13 patients in the noneffective group were analyzed. The rate of response in regaining horizontal gaze with the SHAiR program was 73%. The C2-7 angle, the C2-7 SVA, T1 slope, and thoracic kyphosis (T1-5) demonstrated significant correction in the effective group (p < 0.05). There were no significant changes in other parameters below the mid-thoracic spine-i.e., the thoracolumbar and lumbar spine and pelvis-following the SHAiR program. Scores of the Neck Disability Index and visual analog scale for pain improved significantly in both groups. Conclusions The SHAiR program improved horizontal gaze among a large percentage of our patients and reduced cervical pain among patients overall. The correction of thoracic kyphosis (T1-5) might be an important treatment target to restore the appropriate T1 tilt in patients with dropped head syndrome. Level of Evidence Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are rapidly becoming integral components of modern healthcare, offering new avenues for diagnosis, treatment, and outcome prediction. This review explores their current applications and potential future in the field of spinal care. From enhancing imaging techniques to predicting patient outcomes, AI and ML are revolutionizing the way we approach spinal diseases. AI and ML have significantly improved spinal imaging by augmenting detection and classification capabilities, thereby boosting diagnostic accuracy. Predictive models have also been developed to guide treatment plans and foresee patient outcomes, driving a shift towards more personalized care. Looking towards the future, we envision AI and ML further ingraining themselves in spinal care with the development of algorithms capable of deciphering complex spinal pathologies to aid decision making. Despite the promise these technologies hold, their integration into clinical practice is not without challenges. Data quality, integration hurdles, data security, and ethical considerations are some of the key areas that need to be addressed for their successful and responsible implementation. In conclusion, AI and ML represent potent tools for transforming spinal care. Thoughtful and balanced integration of these technologies, guided by ethical considerations, can lead to significant advancements, ushering in an era of more personalized, effective, and efficient healthcare.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the increasing prevalence of cervical odontoid fractures in older adults, the treatment strategy is controversial. The objectives of the current study are to investigate the prognosis and complications of cervical odontoid fractures in elderly patients and to identify factors associated with worsening of ambulation after 6 months. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective study included 167 patients aged 65 years or older with odontoid fractures. Patient demographic and treatment data were investigated and compared according to the treatment strategy. To determine associations with worsening ambulation after 6 months, we focused on the treatment strategies (nonsurgical treatment [collar immobilization or halo vest], conversion to surgery, or initial surgery) and patients' background. RESULTS Patients who received nonsurgical treatment were significantly older, and patients who underwent surgery had more Anderson-D'Alonzo type 2 fractures. Of the patients initially treated nonsurgically, 26% later underwent surgery. Numbers of complications, including death, and degrees of ambulation after 6 months did not differ significantly among treatment strategies. Patients who had worsened ambulation after 6 months were significantly more likely to be older than 80 years, to have needed assistance with walking before injury, and to have cerebrovascular disease. Multivariable analysis showed that a score of ≥2 on the 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) was significantly associated with worsening ambulation. CONCLUSIONS Preinjury mFI-5 scores of ≥2 were significantly associated with worsening ambulation 6 months after treatment of cervical odontoid fractures in older adults.

Abstract
Patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy or ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament have been considered to be prone to falls due to lower extremity dysfunction and gait instability. Anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) are unconscious muscular activities to counterbalance perturbation. To date, there are no reports on APAs in cervical myelopathy patients, and quantification of postural control remains difficult. Thirty participants were enrolled, of which 15 were cervical myelopathy patients and 15 were normal age- and sex-matched controls. A three-dimensional motion capture system with force plates was used, and the APA phase was defined as the time between start of movement at the center of pressure and heel-off of the step leg. The APA phase (0.47 vs. 0.39 s, p < 0.05) and turning time (2.27 vs. 1.83 s, p < 0.01) were significantly longer, whereas step length tended to be shorter (305.18 vs. 361.04 mm, p = 0.06) in cervical myelopathy patients. There was a significant correlation between Japanese Orthopaedic Association lower extremity motor dysfunction scores and step length (p < 0.01). Cervical myelopathy patients are prone to falls due to longer APA phases with shorter step lengths. Analysis of the APA phase aids the visualization and quantification of postural control during initial gait in cervical myelopathy patients.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The global trend toward increased protection of medical personnel from occupational radiation exposure requires efforts to promote protection from radiation on a societal scale. To develop effective educational programs to promote radiation protection, we clarify the actual status and stage of behavioral changes of spine surgeons regarding radiation protection. Materials and Methods: We used a web-based questionnaire to collect information on the actual status of radiation protection and stages of behavioral change according to the transtheoretical model. The survey was administered to all members of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spinal Treatment from 5 October to 5 November 2020. Results: Of 324 members of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spinal Treatment, 229 (70.7%) responded. A total of 217 participants were analyzed, excluding 12 respondents who were not exposed to radiation in daily practice. A trunk lead protector was used by 215 (99%) participants, while 113 (53%) preferred an apron-type protector. Dosimeters, thyroid protector, lead glasses, and lead gloves were used by 108 (50%), 116 (53%), 82 (38%), and 64 (29%) participants, respectively. While 202 (93%) participants avoided continuous irradiation, only 120 (55%) were aware of the source of the radiation when determining their position in the room. Regarding the behavioral change stage of radiation protection, 134 (62%) participants were in the action stage, while 37 (17%) had not even reached the contemplation stage. Conclusions: We found that even among the members of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spinal Treatment, protection of all vulnerable body parts was not fully implemented. Thus, development of educational programs that cover the familiar risks of occupational radiation exposure, basic protection methods in the operating room, and the effects of such protection methods on reducing radiation exposure in actual clinical practice is warranted.

Abstract
We aimed to retrospectively investigate the demographic characteristics and short-term outcomes of traumatic cervical spine injuries in patients with dementia. We enrolled 1512 patients aged ≥ 65 years with traumatic cervical injuries registered in a multicenter study database. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of dementia, and 95 patients (6.3%) had dementia. Univariate analysis revealed that the dementia group comprised patients who were older and predominantly female and had lower body mass index, higher modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5), lower pre-injury activities of daily living (ADLs), and a larger number of comorbidities than patients without dementia. Furthermore, 61 patient pairs were selected through propensity score matching with adjustments for age, sex, pre-injury ADLs, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale score at the time of injury, and the administration of surgical treatment. In the univariate analysis of the matched groups, patients with dementia had significantly lower ADLs at 6 months and a higher incidence of dysphagia up to 6 months than patients without dementia. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with dementia had a higher mortality than those without dementia until the last follow-up. Dementia was associated with poor ADLs and higher mortality rates after traumatic cervical spine injuries in elderly patients.

Abstract
For older patients with decreased reserve function, traumatic cervical spine injuries frequently lead to early mortality. However, the prognostic factors for early mortality remain unclear. This study included patients aged ≥65 years and hospitalized for treatment of traumatic cervical spine injuries in 78 hospitals between 2010 and 2020. Early mortality was defined as death within 90 days after injury. We evaluated the relationship between early mortality and the following factors: age, sex, body mass index, history of drinking and smoking, injury mechanisms, presence of a cervical spine fracture and dislocation, cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale, concomitant injury, pre-existing comorbidities, steroid administration, and treatment plan. Overall, 1512 patients (mean age, 75.8 ± 6.9 years) were included in the study. The early mortality rate was 4.0%. Multivariate analysis identified older age (OR = 1.1, p < 0.001), male sex (OR = 3.7, p = 0.009), cervical spine fracture (OR = 4.2, p < 0.001), complete motor paralysis (OR = 8.4, p < 0.001), and chronic kidney disease (OR = 5.3, p < 0.001) as risk factors for early mortality. Older age, male sex, cervical spine fracture, complete motor paralysis, and chronic kidney disease are prognostic factors for early mortality in older patients with traumatic cervical spine injuries.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVES To investigate changes over a 10-years period in the profile of cervical spine and spinal cord injuries among the elderly in Japan. METHODS The current multicenter study was a retrospective analysis of inpatients aged ≥65 years, suffering cervical fracture (CF) and/or cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI). We analyzed 1413 patients' epidemiology (from 2010 to 2019). Moreover, 727 patients who underwent surgical treatment were analyzed in 2 groups: the early (2010-2014) and late period (2015-2019). RESULTS Both the number of patients and number of surgical patients showed a significant increasing trend (P < .001), while the mean age, the distribution of injury levels and paralysis severity, and the proportion of surgical indications remained the same. The number of surgical patients doubled from 228 to 499 from the early to late periods. Posterior surgery was the most common approach (90.4%), instrumentation surgery with screws increased significantly, and the range of fusion was significantly longer in the late period (2.1 vs 2.7 levels, P = .001). Significantly worsening neurological symptoms were recorded in the late period (1.3% vs 5.8%, P = .006), with C5 palsy being the major one. Otherwise, perioperative, major, and other complications, including mortality, did not differ significantly in incidence. CONCLUSIONS Both the number of elderly CF and/or CSCI patients and number of patients undergoing surgery increased dramatically over the decade without any change in profile. Instrumentation surgeries with screws increased, without an increase in systemic complications.

Abstract
A retrospective multicenter study. Body mass index (BMI) is recognized as an important determinant of osteoporosis and spinal postoperative outcomes; however, the specific impact of BMI on surgery for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) remains inconclusive. This retrospective multicenter study investigated the impact of BMI on clinical outcomes following fusion surgery for OVFs. 237 OVF patients (mean age, 74.3 years; 48 men and 189 women) with neurological symptoms who underwent spinal fusion were included in this study. Patients were grouped by World Health Organization BMI categories: low BMI (<18.5 kg/m2), normal BMI (≥18.5 and <25 kg/m2), and high BMI (≥25 kg/m2). Patients' backgrounds, surgical method, radiological findings, pain measurements, activities of daily living (ADL), and postoperative complications were compared after a mean follow-up period of 4 years. As results, the proportion of patients able to walk independently was significantly smaller in the low BMI group (75.0%) compared with the normal BMI group (89.9%; P = .01) and the high BMI group (94.3%; P = .04). Improvement in the visual analogue scale for leg pain was significantly less in the low BMI group than the high BMI group (26.7 vs 42.8 mm; P = .046). Radiological evaluation, the Frankel classification, and postoperative complications were not significantly different among all 3 groups. Improvement of pain intensity and ADL in the high BMI group was equivalent or non-significantly better for some outcome measures compared with the normal BMI group. Leg pain and independent walking ability after fusion surgery for patients with OVFs improved less in the low versus the high BMI group. Surgeons may want to carefully evaluate at risk low BMI patients before fusion surgery for OVF because poor clinical results may occur.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Prospective multicenter clinical study. PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of bioactive surface treatment for porous titanium spacers without bone graft for lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) through clinical and radiological examinations. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE LLIF is a minimally invasive spinal fusion procedure. To achieve bony union, a substantial volume of grafted bone is typically packed into the cage; however, this is related to donor site morbidities-one of the disadvantages of LLIF. METHODS For this prospective multicenter study, 40 patients were followed up through radiologic and clinical examinations for at least 1 year postoperatively. All surgical procedures were either single- or double-level LLIF using bioactive porous titanium spacers without bone grafts. RESULTS Four patients were excluded from the study owing to aggravation from other comorbidities. Another 36 patients, including 26 and 10 with single- and double-level LLIFs, respectively, participated in the follow-up. The mean age at the time of surgery was 63.7 years. The mean operating time was 50.5 minutes per level. The mean estimated intraoperative blood loss was 11.6 mL per level. Clinical scores improved in all cases and were maintained throughout the follow-up period. The intervertebral bony union rates were 67.4% and 84.8% at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Endplate cyst signs were observed in 13.0% and 8.7% of patients at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Fused segmental angles were maintained throughout the follow-up period, indicating no cage subsidence. CONCLUSIONS Single- and double-level LLIFs using bioactive porous titanium spacers without bone grafts were found to be minimally invasive, resulting in clinical and imaging results comparable with conventional procedures. Therefore, this type of implant may be an option for minimally invasive spinal fusion surgery.

Abstract
Pedicle or lateral mass screws, which are usually used to fix atlantoaxial instability, increase the risk of vertebral artery (VA) injury in patients with bone or arterial anomalies or osteoporotic bone. Here, we report the use of a unilateral C1 posterior arch screw-C2 laminar screw posterior fixation with a contralateral C1 lateral mass screw for VA preservation in a patient with bow hunter's syndrome (BHS). A 65-year-old male presented with recurrent loss of consciousness in the right rotational and backward-bending head positions for 1 year. Cerebral angiography in the same head position showed that the left VA was disrupted at C1/2 and the right VA was hypoplastic. The patient was diagnosed with BHS. C1-2 posterior fixation and iliac bone grafting were performed. The left VA was on the dominant side, and the VA was in a high position; thus, a C1 posterior arch screw was selected for the left side, a C1 lateral mass screw was selected for the right side, and a C2 laminar screw with O-arm navigation and a C-arm was used to prevent arterial injury. Intraoperative findings revealed no VA injury, and postoperative computed tomography showed the screw at the planned site. In a patient with BHS, posterior fixation with a unilateral C1 posterior arch screw-C2 laminar screw prevented VA injury because the screw could be inserted while avoiding the VA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The management of cervical spine injuries in the elderly is often complicated by the presence of multiple medical comorbidities, and it is not uncommon for preoperative testing to reveal other conditions that require the postponement of surgery. However, the factors that affect the waiting time from injury to surgery have not been clarified. The purpose of this multicenter database study was to analyze the clinical features and identify the factors affecting the number of days waited between injury and surgery in elderly patients with a cervical spine injury. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the case histories of 1512 Japanese patients with a cervical spinal injury, who were seen at 33 institutions. After excluding patients who were not initially receiving a surgery for cervical spinal injury, 694 patients were ultimately analyzed. Based on a multivariate mixed model, we determined the factors related to the number of days from injury to surgery. RESULTS The mean time from injury to surgery was 12.3 days. Multivariate analysis revealed delays of 10.7 days for a renal disorder, 7.3 days for anticoagulant use, and 15.2 days for non-surgical thoracolumbar fracture as factors prolonging wait time. In contrast, a C3 or lower spine injury was significantly associated with a shortening of 9.5 days to surgery. CONCLUSIONS This multicenter database study identified several factors influencing the time between injury and cervical spine surgery in elderly patients. While renal impairment, anticoagulant use, and non-surgical thoracolumbar fracture may increase the number of days to surgery, trauma to C3 or lower may expedite surgical treatment.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVE To compare the surgical outcomes and complications of posterior decompression between individuals with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and those with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). SETTING Seventeen medical institutions in Japan. METHODS This study included 814 individuals with CSM (n = 636) and OPLL (n = 178) who underwent posterior decompression. Propensity score matching of the baseline characteristics was performed to compare surgical outcomes and perioperative complications between the CSM and OPLL groups. RESULTS Before propensity score matching, the OPLL group had higher percentage of male individuals, body mass index, and number of stenosis levels and longer duration of symptoms (P < 0.01, P < 0.01, P < 0.01, and P < 0.01, respectively). After matching, the baseline characteristics were comparable between the CSM (n = 98) and OPLL (n = 98) groups. The postoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores, preoperative-to-postoperative changes in the JOA scores, and JOA score recovery rates were not significantly different between the groups (P = 0.42, P = 0.47, and P = 0.09, respectively). The postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) score for neck pain and preoperative-to-postoperative changes in the VAS score for neck pain were not significantly different between the groups (P = 0.25 and P = 0.50, respectively). The incidence of perioperative complications was comparable between groups. CONCLUSION Neurological improvement and complication rates after surgery were comparable between individuals with CSM and those with OPLL, suggesting similar effectiveness and safety of posterior decompression for both conditions.

Abstract
In the past two decades, minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) techniques have been developed for spinal surgery. Historically, minimizing invasiveness in decompression surgery was initially reported as a MISS technique. In recent years, MISS techniques have also been applied for spinal stabilization techniques, which were defined as minimally invasive spine stabilization (MISt), including percutaneous pedicle screws (PPS) fixation, lateral lumbar interbody fusion, balloon kyphoplasty, percutaneous vertebroplasty, cortical bone trajectory, and cervical total disc replacement. These MISS techniques typically provide many advantages such as preservation of paraspinal musculature, less blood loss, a shorter operative time, less postoperative pain, and a lower infection rate as well as being more cost-effective compared to traditional open techniques. However, even MISS techniques are associated with several limitations including technical difficulty, training opportunities, surgical cost, equipment cost, and radiation exposure. These downsides of surgical treatments make conservative treatments more feasible option. In the future, medicine must become “minimally invasive” in the broadest sense—for all patients, conventional surgeries, medical personnel, hospital management, nursing care, and the medical economy. As a new framework for the treatment of spinal diseases, the concept of minimally invasive spinal treatment (MIST) has been proposed.

Abstract
Introduction In elderly patients with cervical spinal cord injury, comorbidities such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are common, with frequent administration of antiplatelet/anticoagulant (APAC) drugs. Such patients may bleed easily or unexpectedly during surgery despite prior withdrawal of APAC medication. Few reports have examined the precise relationship between intraoperative blood loss and history of APAC use regarding surgery for cervical spine injury in the elderly. The present multicenter database survey aimed to answer the question of whether the use of APAC drugs affected the amount of intraoperative blood loss in elderly patients with cervical spinal cord trauma. Methods The case histories of 1512 patients with cervical spine injury at 33 institutes were retrospectively reviewed. After excluding cases without spinal surgery or known blood loss volume, 797 patients were enrolled. Blood volume loss was the outcome of interest. We calculated propensity scores using the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method. As an alternative sensitivity analysis, linear mixed model analyses were conducted as well. Results Of the 776 patients (mean age: 75.1±6.4 years) eligible for IPTW calculation, 157 (20.2%) were taking APAC medications before the injury. After weighting, mean estimated blood loss was 204 mL for non-APAC patients and 215 mL for APAC patients. APAC use in elderly patients was not significantly associated with surgical blood loss according to the IPTW method with propensity scoring or linear mixed model analyses. Thus, it appeared possible to perform surgery expecting comparable blood loss in APAC and non-APAC cases. Conclusions This multicenter study revealed no significant increase in surgical blood loss in elderly patients with cervical trauma taking APAC drugs. Surgeons may be able to prioritize patient background, complications, and preexisting conditions over APAC use before injury when examining the surgical indications for cervical spine trauma in the elderly.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVES To investigate the neurological outcomes of older individuals treated with surgery versus conservative treatment for cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) without bone injury. SETTING Thirty-three medical institutions in Japan. METHODS This study included 317 consecutive persons aged ≥65 years with CSCI without bone injury in participating institutes between 2010 and 2020. The participants were followed up for at least 6 months after the injury. Individuals were divided into surgery (n = 114) and conservative treatment (n = 203) groups. To compare neurological outcomes and complications between the groups, propensity score matching of the baseline factors (characteristics, comorbidities, and neurological function) was performed. RESULTS After propensity score matching, the surgery and conservative treatment groups comprised 89 individuals each. Surgery was performed at a median of 9.0 (3-17) days after CSCI. Baseline factors were comparable between groups, and the standardized difference in the covariates in the matched cohort was <10%. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale grade and ASIA motor score (AMS) 6 months after injury and changes in the AMS from baseline to 6 months after injury were not significantly different between groups (P = 0.63, P = 0.24, and P = 0.75, respectively). Few participants who underwent surgery demonstrated perioperative complications such as dural tear (1.1%), surgical site infection (2.2%), and C5 palsy (5.6%). CONCLUSION Conservative treatment is suggested to be a more favorable option for older individuals with CSCI without bone injuries, but this finding requires further validation.

Abstract
The S2 alar-iliac screw (S2AIS) is commonly used for long spinal fusion as a rigid distal foundation in spinal deformity surgeries, and it is also used in percutaneous sacropelvic fixation for providing an in-line connection to the proximal spinal constructs without using offset connectors. Although the pelvic shape is different between males and females, reports on S2AIS trajectories according to gender have been scarce in the literature. In this paper, S2AIS trajectories are compared between males and females using pelvic three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) in a normal Japanese population. After resetting the caudal angulation in CT-imaging plane manipulation, the angulation of S2AIS was more lateral in the axial plane and more horizontal in the coronal plane in females. Mean distances from the midline to starting points of S2AIS tended to be shorter in females, whereas mean distances from the midline to the posterior superior iliac spine was significantly longer in females. We also found that there were positive correlations between the patients’ height and the maximal lengths of S2AISs, and the patients’ height and minimal areas of S2AIS pathways. Our results are useful not only for conventional open spinal surgery, but also for minimally invasive spine surgery.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Patients with dropped head syndrome exhibit weakness of the cervical paraspinal muscles. However, the relationship between horizontal gaze disorder and physical function remains unclear. This study aimed to examine and clarify this relationship. Materials and Methods: Ninety-six patients with dropped head syndrome were included. We measured the McGregor’s Slope and investigated physical characteristics, including cervical muscle strength, back muscle strength, and walking ability. Factor analysis was used to classify the characteristics of physical function, and a linear multiple regression analysis was used to evaluate independent variables explaining the variance in the McGregor’s Slope. The physical functions of DHS patients were classified into three categories by factor analysis: limb and trunk muscle strength, walking ability, and neck muscle strength. Results: The average value of the McGregor’s Slope was 22.2 ± 24.0 degrees. As a result of multiple regression analysis, walking speed (β = −0.46) and apex (β = −0.30) were extracted as significant factors influencing the McGregor’s Slope. Conclusions: Horizontal gaze disorders are not associated with cervical muscle strength but with the walking ability and the alignment type of dropped head syndrome.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Dropped head syndrome (DHS) is a syndrome that presents with correctable cervical kyphotic deformity as a result of weakening cervical paraspinal muscles. DHS with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare condition, and there is no established treatment. This is the first case report describing the improvement of both dropped head (DH) and cervical pain after the short and intensive rehabilitation (SHAiR) program in an ALS patient with DHS. Case Report: After being diagnosed with ALS in June 2020, a 75-year-old man visited our hospital in October 2020 to receive treatment for DHS. At the initial visit, the patient’s DH was prominent during standing and walking. The pain intensity of the neck was 9 out of 10 on the numerical rating scale (NRS), which was indicative of severe pain. The patient was hospitalized for 2 weeks and admitted into the SHAiR program. DH began to decrease one week after undergoing the SHAiR program and improved two weeks later. Neck pain decreased from 9 to 6 on the NRS. Results: The SHAiR program is a rehabilitation program aimed at improving DH in patients with idiopathic DHS. The program was designed to improve neck extensor and flexor function and global spinal alignment, and the program may have contributed to the improvement of DH and neck pain. Currently, reports of conservative therapies for this disease are limited to the use of cervical orthosis. Although further research is needed on the safety and indications of treatment, the SHAiR program may be a viable treatment option.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Clinicians are required to manage a growing number of elderly patients with several medical comorbidities, and invasive surgical treatments are sometimes not advisable for these patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of minimally invasive intraspinal canal treatment, trans-sacral canal plasty (TSCP), for patients with and without failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS). Materials and Methods: A multicenter analysis was conducted. TSCP was performed in patients with chronic low back pain and leg pain due to lumbar spinal disorders. An adhesiolysis by TSCP was carried out, then a mixture of steroid and local anesthesia was injected. Visual Analog Scales (VAS) for low back pain and leg pain, and complications were evaluated. Results: A total of 271 patients with a minimum 6-month follow-up were enrolled. There were 80 patients who had a history of previous lumbar spinal surgery (F group), and 191 patients without previous lumbar spinal surgery (N group). There were no significant differences in sex and age between the two groups. VAS scores for low back pain (N group/F group) preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively, were 51/52 mm, 24/26 mm, 33/34 mm, 30/36 mm, and 30/36 mm, respectively. VAS scores for leg pain were 69/67 mm, 28/27 mm, 39/41 mm, 36/43 mm, and 32/40 mm, respectively. Both VAS scores for low back pain and leg pain were significantly decreased from baseline to final follow-up in both groups (p < 0.01). However, VAS scores for leg pain at 3 months and 6 months postoperatively were significantly higher in F group (p < 0.05). There were three catheter breakages (2/3 in F group), and one dural tear in F group. Conclusions: TSCP significantly reduced both VAS scores for low back and leg pain in patients with and without FBSS. However, co-existence of intractable epidural adhesion might be associated with less improvement in FBSS.

Abstract
Introduction In 2018, the first Mobi-CⓇ total disk replacement (TDR) case was performed in Japan. In this study, we examined the preliminary clinical outcome of Mobi-CⓇ for degenerative cervical spine disease. Methods We examined 24 consecutive patients who underwent 1-level TDR after 2018 and followed up for more than 6 months after surgery. The evaluation criteria included age, gender, diagnosis, follow-up period, surgical level, implant size, surgery time, intraoperative bleeding volume, complications, revision surgery, imaging findings, JOA score, and various questionnaires. Results The mean age was 52.7 years, 13 males and 11 females. There were 15 cases of cervical disk herniation and 9 cases of cervical spondylosis. The mean follow-up period was 17.4 months. Surgical levels were C3/4 in 4 cases, C4/5 in 2 cases, C5/6 in 16 cases, and C6/7 in 2 cases. The mean operation time was 138.5 minutes, the amount of intraoperative bleeding was 32.1 ml, and there were no serious intraoperative complications. The range of motion of the affected level increased significantly, from 6.6 degrees preoperatively to 12.2 degrees at final follow-up. No patients required revision surgery at final follow-up, and there were no cases of heterotopic ossification or adjacent segment disease. One patient exhibited radiculopathy due to mild subsidence 1 year after surgery, and 1 had asymptomatic contact of device plates. Preoperative and final JOA scores improved from 11.7 to 15.8 points, and NRS improved from 4.3 to 1.3 points for neck pain and 4.3 to 1.7 points for arm pain. Preoperative and final NDI improved from 39.7% to 14.0%, and EQ-5D improved from 0.602 to 0.801. Conclusions The short-term treatment outcomes of Mobi-CⓇ TDR were generally favorable. Spine surgeons should comply with guidelines when introducing this procedure and strive to adopt this new technology in Japan.

Abstract
Dropped head syndrome (DHS) exhibits cervical deformity due to weakness of the cervical extensor group, and sarcopenia is characterized by progressive and systemic reduction in skeletal muscle mass. These clinical finding are associated with reduced activity of daily living, reduced quality of life, and increased risk of mortality. We collected and reviewed prospective registry data for 16 patients with idiopathic DHS continuously collected without dropping out and 32 healthy individuals who matched their gender and age. The prevalence of sarcopenia and body composition data were compared. There were no differences in the prevalence of sarcopenia, appendicular muscle mass, and leg muscle mass between DHS patients and the healthy elderly. Trunk muscle mass in DHS patients was significantly lower than that in healthy individuals. A significant correlation was found between appendicular muscle mass and trunk muscle mass in healthy subjects but not in DHS patients. Sarcopenia was not associated with the onset of idiopathic DHS. The prevalence of sarcopenia was not high in patients with idiopathic DHS due to the preservation of their appendicular skeletal muscle mass. Patients with DHS were characterized by a significant loss of trunk muscle mass that may be related to the disease but not aging.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the change of dynamic alignment after the short and intensive rehabilitation (SHAiR) program in patients with dropped head syndrome (DHS). Eighteen patients with DHS patients who complained of their inability to maintain horizontal gaze and underwent the SHAiR program. Patients performed level walking at a self-selected speed. Spatiotemporal, kinematic, and kinetic data were recorded using a three-dimensional motion analysis system. Statistical analysis was performed to compare these data before and after the SHAiR program. Those who underwent the SHAiR program showed a significant increase in the head angle and stride length compared to pre-treatment measurements (p < 0.05). The SHAiR program modifies the malalignment of the head and neck and spatiotemporal parameters in DHS patients during level walking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We assessed the sequential magnetic resonance imaging changes of indirect neural decompression after minimally invasive lumbar lateral interbody fusion (LIF) combined with posterior percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) fixation for degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) according to the severity of preoperative lumbar spinal stenosis. METHODS A total of 43 patients (mean age, 68.7 years; 16 men and 27 women) with DS who had undergone LIF and closed reduction with PPS fixation were enrolled. The intervertebral levels were divided into the moderate stenosis (MS) group (preoperative cross-sectional area [CSA] of the thecal sac >50 mm2) and severe stenosis (SS) group (CSA ≤50 mm2). The CSA, ligamentum flavum thickness, and diameter of the thecal sac at the affected level were measured on cross-sectional magnetic resonance images at baseline, immediately postoperatively, and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS For the 31 and 29 intervertebral levels in the MS and SS groups, the mean CSA at baseline, immediately postoperatively, and 2 years postoperatively was 76.9 mm2 and 35.8 mm2, 104.3 mm2 and 81.4 mm2, and 130.9 mm2 and 105.7 mm2, respectively. The mean ligamentum flavum thicknesses at 2 years postoperatively became thinner than that immediately after surgery in both groups (P < 0.01). The mean diameter of the thecal sac at 2 years was longer than that immediately after surgery in both groups (MS group, P < 0.05; SS group, P < 0.01) The expansion ratio of the CSA at 2 years postoperatively was significantly greater in the SS group than that in the MS group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Sequential enlargement of the spinal canal was obtained by the thinning of the ligamentum flavum after LIF and PPS fixation in patients with DS with both mild and severe stenosis. The effect of indirect neural decompression was equivalent even in those with severe lumbar spinal stenosis.

Abstract
CASE A 42-year-old woman presented with a severe neck pain and torticollis due to uncertain etiology. Because her radiographs and computed tomography revealed atlantoaxial rotatory fixation (AARF) that is an extremely rare condition in the adult population, a nonsurgical treatment was initially applied. Because 3 weeks of indirect traction failed, closed reduction was performed under general anesthesia at 2 months after onset, and her symptoms markedly improved without any complications and recurrence. CONCLUSION Closed reduction under general anesthesia for nontraumatic AARF in adult patients might be an effective treatment option, even for chronic cases or intractable cases by traction treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is common after long spinal fusion, the outcomes of revision surgery for symptomatic PJK are unclear. Our aim was to assess the outcomes of revision surgery for symptomatic PJK in patients with adult spinal deformity and elucidate the incidence and risk factors for recurrent PJK (rePJK). METHODS We evaluated standing radiographs and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients who underwent revision surgery for symptomatic PJK with at least 2-year follow-up. Patients were assigned to the non-rePJK or rePJK group according to PJK recurrence. RESULTS Thirty-nine consecutive patients (mean age, 63 ± 11 years; 24 women) met the inclusion criteria. RePJK occurred in 12 patients (31%). There were significant differences in the following parameters between groups (non-rePJK vs. rePJK): initial proximal junctional sagittal Cobb angle (PJA) (26.6° vs. 35.6°), thoracic kyphosis (TK) (38.6° vs. 52.8°), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) (9.3 vs. 15.9 cm), and pre- to postoperative SVA decrease (6.1 vs. 12.2 cm). Significant risk factors for rePJK were initial PJA > 40°, preoperative TK > 60°, preoperative SVA > 10.0 cm, correction of TK > 15°, and correction of SVA > 5.0 cm. HRQOL scores improved significantly; however, postoperative SRS-22r activity scores were significantly worse in the rePJK group vs the non-rePJK group. CONCLUSION The incidence of rePJK was 31%. Risk factors for rePJK were large initial PJA, high preoperative TK and SVA, and greater correction of TK and SVA. HRQOL did not differ significantly between patients with vs without rePJK, except immediate postoperative SRS-22r activity scores. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Purpose This study aimed to evaluate aggravated lateral recess stenosis and clarify the indirect decompression threshold by combined lateral interbody fusion and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (LIF/PPS). Overview of Literature No previous reports have described an effective radiographic indicator for determining the surgical indication for LIF/PPS. Methods A retrospective review of 185 consecutive patients, who underwent 1- or 2-level lumbar fusion surgery for degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS). According to their symptomatic improvement, they were placed into either the “recovery” or “no-recovery” group. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) images were evaluated for the position of the superior articular processes at the slipping level, followed by a graded classification (grades 0–3) using the impingement line (I line), a new radiographic indicator. All 432 superior articular facets in 216 slipped levels were classified, and both groups’ characteristics were compared. Results There were 171 patients (92.4%) in the recovery group and 14 patients in the no-recovery group (7.6%). All patients in the no-recovery group were diagnosed with symptoms associated with deteriorated bony lateral recess stenosis. All superior articular processes of the lower vertebral body in affected levels reached and exceeded the I line (I line-; grade 2 and 3) on preoperative sagittal CT images. In the recovery group, most superior articular processes did not reach the I line (I line+; grade 0 and 1; p=0.0233). Conclusions In DS cases that are classified as grade 2 or greater, the risk of aggravated bony lateral recess stenosis due to corrective surgery is high; therefore, indirect decompression by LIF/PPS is, in principle, contraindicated.

Abstract
A 78 year-old female presented with dropped head syndrome (DHS). Three months before her initial visit to our hospital, the patient noticed a pronounced flexion of her head and neck with subsequent deterioration of symptoms, which included neck pain, difficulty with forward gaze, and gait disturbance. Cervical radiographs demonstrated scoliotic and kyphotic changes, and her symptom deteriorated over time, especially in the standing position. Duloxetine was administered for her low back pain because nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs deemed ineffective. The patient demonstrated marked improvements in both radiographic and clinical appearances after 4 months. Her neck pain decreased from 8 to 2 out of 10 in the Numeric Rating Scale, and her symptoms such as difficulty with forward gaze and gait disturbance had also resolved. Duloxetine is a serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor that is usually used for chronic musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, or depression. In this report, we present another potential application of duloxetine in the treatment of DHS. The following possibilities were considered for the improved outcomes: (1) pain relief may have helped the patient feel comfortable enough to move her neck, and (2) we suppose that serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake may contribute to the improvement of DHS, because there might be a potential disequilibrium of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline in DHS patients. Although further investigation is needed to clarify the mechanism, duloxetine should be considered as one of the optional treatments for DHS.

Abstract
Background Vertebroplasty with posterior spinal fusion (VP + PSF) is one of the most widely accepted surgical techniques for treating osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC). Nevertheless, the effect of the extent of fusion on surgical outcomes remains to be established. This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of short- versus long-segment VP + PSF for OVC with neurological impairment in thoracolumbar spine. Methods We retrospectively collected data from 133 patients (median age, 77 years; 42 men and 91 women) from 27 university hospitals and their affiliated hospitals. We divided patients into two groups: a short-segment fusion group (S group) with 2- or 3-segment fusion (87 patients) and a long-segment fusion group (L group) with 4- through 6-segment fusion (46 patients). Surgical invasion, clinical outcomes, local kyphosis angle (LKA), and complications were evaluated. Results No significant differences between the two groups were observed in terms of neurological recovery, pain scale scores, and complications. Surgical time was shorter and blood loss was less in the S group, whereas LKA at the final follow-up and correction loss were superior in the L group. Conclusion Although less invasiveness and validity of pain and neurological relief are secured by short-segment VP + PSF, surgeons should be cautious regarding correction loss.

Abstract
Background The optimal treatment of osteoporosis after reconstruction surgery for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) remains unclear. In this multicentre retrospective study, we investigated the effects of typically used agents for osteoporosis, namely, bisphosphonates (BP) and teriparatide (TP), on surgical results in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Methods Retrospectively registered data were collected from 27 universities and affiliated hospitals in Japan. We compared the effects of BP vs TP on postoperative mechanical complication rates, implant-related reoperation rates, and clinical outcomes in patients who underwent posterior instrumented fusion for OVF. Data were analysed according to whether the osteoporosis was primary or glucocorticoid-induced. Results A total of 159 patients who underwent posterior instrumented fusion for OVF were included. The overall mechanical complication rate was significantly lower in the TP group than in the BP group (BP vs TP: 73.1% vs 58.2%, p = 0.045). The screw backout rate was significantly lower and the rates of new vertebral fractures and pseudoarthrosis tended to be lower in the TP group than in the BP group. However, there were no significant differences in lumbar functional scores and visual analogue scale pain scores or in implant-related reoperation rates between the two groups. The incidence of pseudoarthrosis was significantly higher in patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) than in those with primary osteoporosis; however, the pseudoarthrosis rate was reduced by using TP. The use of TP also tended to reduce the overall mechanical complication rate in both primary osteoporosis and GIOP. Conclusions The overall mechanical complication rate was lower in patients who received TP than in those who received a BP postoperatively, regardless of type of osteoporosis. The incidence of pseudoarthrosis was significantly higher in patients with GIOP, but the use of TP reduced the rate of pseudoarthrosis in GIOP patients. The use of TP was effective to reduce postoperative complications for OVF patients treated with posterior fusion.

Abstract
Surgical treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) is challenging. A new minimally invasive technique of posterior spinal fusion was performed for OVF. This technique would be beneficial for elderly or immunocompromised patients.
Introduction Surgical treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) has been challenging for spine surgeons, because there are potential risks of instrumentation failure; such as screw loosening, loss of correction, or pseudarthrosis, due to bone fragility in elderly patients with several comorbidities. Presentation of case A 68-year-old female presented with a severe low back pain and bilateral thigh pain. She had a history of systemic scleroderma, which was complicated by interstitial lung disease. Although she initially underwent non-surgical treatment with bracing for 7 months, her symptoms had progressively deteriorated, and her radiographs showed non-union at L1 and progressive kyphotic deformity at the thoracolumbar spine. Because an anterior approach was inadvisable due to interstitial lung disease, vertebroplasty with posterior spinal fusion was performed using percutaneous pedicle screws (PPS) at the upper most and lowest instrumented vertebra combined with sublaminar taping and computer-assisted rod contouring system. Good bony union was achieved with no screw loosening at 1-year follow-up. Discussion Various surgical procedures have been applied according to the fracture type or medical condition of the patient. Minimally invasive posterior spinal fusion would be a less invasive approach in patients with poor medical condition. PPS can prevent the excessive dissection of paravertebral muscles, and this is especially advantageous at the proximal and distal end of long constructs. A recent computer-assisted rod contouring system accurately matches each screw head resulting in reduced strength of the screw-bone interface. Conclusion This technique would be beneficial in the elderly or immunocompromised patients with OVF.

Abstract
PURPOSE To validate the effectiveness of percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) fixation for spinal fractures associated with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) by comparing surgical outcomes for PPS fixation and conventional open posterior fixation. Patients with DISH are vulnerable to unstable spinal fractures caused by trivial trauma, and these fractures have high rates of delayed paralysis, postoperative complications, and mortality. METHODS This retrospective study assessed surgical outcomes for 16 patients with DISH (12 men; mean age 76.1 ± 9.4 years) who underwent PPS fixation for spinal fractures (pedicle screw (PS) group), and for a control group of 25 patients with DISH (18 men; mean age 77.9 ± 9.9 years) who underwent conventional open fixation (O group) at our affiliated hospitals from 2007 to 2017. We evaluated the preoperative physical condition (American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification), neurological status (Frankel grade), and improvement after surgery, fusion length, operating time, estimated blood loss, and perioperative complications. RESULTS Preoperatively, the PS group consisted of one ASA-1 patient, eight ASA-2 patients, six ASA-3 patients, and one ASA-4 patient; by Frankel grade, there were 2 grade B patients, 13 grade C, 4 grade D, and 6 grade E patients. The O group had 2 ASA-1 patients, 13 ASA-2, 9 ASA-3, and 1 ASA-4 patients. Frankel grades in the O group reflected severe neurological deficits, with 3 grade C patients, 2 grade D, and 11 grade E ( p = 0.032) patients. The two groups had similar rates of neurological improvement (33.3% of PS and 40.0% of O patients; p = 0.410) and mean fusion length (PS 5.1 ± 0.8 segments; O 4.9 ± 1.2). The mean operating time and estimated blood loss were 168.1 ± 46.7 min and 133.9 ± 116.5 g, respectively, in the PS group, and 224.6 ± 49.8 min and 499.9 ± 368.5 g in the O group. Three O-group patients died of hypovolemic shock, respiratory failure, and pneumonia, respectively, within a year of surgery. CONCLUSION Conventional open posterior fixation and PPS fixation for DISH-related spinal fractures were similar in fusion length and neurological improvement. However, PPS fixation was less invasive and had lower complication rates.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) is the most common osteoporotic fracture, and some patients require surgical intervention to improve their impaired activities of daily living with neurological deficits. However, many previous reports have focused on OVF around the thoracolumbar junction, and the surgical outcomes of lumbar OVF have not been thoroughly discussed. We aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes for lumbar OVF with a neurological deficit. Methods Patients who underwent fusion surgery for thoracolumbar OVF with a neurological deficit were enrolled at 28 institutions. Clinical information, comorbidities, perioperative complications, Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores, visual analog scale scores, and radiographic parameters were compared between patients with lower lumbar fracture (L3-5) and those with thoracolumbar junction fracture (T10-L2). Each patient with lower lumbar fracture (L group) was matched with to patients with thoracolumbar junction fracture (T group). Results A total 403 patients (89 males and 314 females, mean age: 73.8 ± 7.8 years, mean follow-up: 3.9 ± 1.7 years) were included in this study. Lower lumbar OVF was frequently found in patients with lower bone mineral density. After matching, mechanical failure was more frequent in the L group (L group: 64%, T group: 39%; p < 0.001). There was no difference between groups in the clinical and radiographical outcomes, although the rates of complication and revision surgery were still high in both groups. Conclusions The surgical intervention for OVF is effective in patients with myelopathy or radiculopathy regardless of the surgical level, although further study is required to improve clinical and radiographical outcomes.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of dropped head syndrome (DHS) remains unknown, and its treatment algorithm and indication are not standardized. Here, we established a novel rehabilitation program, short and intensive rehabilitation program for DHS (SHAiR program), consisting of cervical paraspinal muscles exercise, range of motion exercise, cervical and thoracic mobilization, deep cervical flexor muscle exercise, hip lift exercise, anterior pelvic tilt exercise, and walking exercise. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of this program. We reviewed clinical outcomes for five consecutive patients with DHS who underwent the SHAiR program (SHAiR group). The outcomes were compared with those of other five patients with DHS who received exercise instruction (control group). Demographic data, the duration from onset of DHS, the apex of sagittal kyphosis on the lateral radiographs, and clinical outcomes including the ability to maintain normal horizontal gaze, chin brow vertical angle, and numerical rating scale (NRS) were evaluated at the initial visit and final follow-up at 7.5 months. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic and radiographic data. The ability of horizontal gaze and NRS of cervical pain improved rapidly for all five patients in the SHAiR group as compared to no improvement for all patients in the control group. Rehabilitation for DHS was considered effective not only for localized rehabilitation such as exercise for training cervical extensor muscle function but also exercises for thoracolumbar posture improvement and the psoas muscle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been few reports on the incidence and risk factors of the complications after spinal fixation surgery for osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC) with neurological deficits. This study aimed to identify the incidence and risk factors of the complications after OVC surgery. METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study, a total of 403 patients (314 women and 89 men; mean age 73.8 years) who underwent spinal fixation surgery for OVC with neurological deficits between 2005 and 2014 were enrolled. Data on patient demographics were collected, including age, sex, body mass index, smoking, steroid use, medical comorbidities, and surgical procedures. All postoperative complications that occurred within 6 weeks were recorded. Patients were classified into two groups, namely, complication group and no complication group, and risk factors for postoperative complications were investigated by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Postoperative complications occurred in 57 patients (14.1%), and the most common complication was delirium (5.7%). In the univariate analysis, the complication group was found to be older (p = 0.039) and predominantly male (p = 0.049), with higher occurrence rate of liver disease (p = 0.001) and Parkinson's disease (p = 0.039) compared with the no-complication group. In the multivariate analysis, the significant independent risk factors were age (p = 0.021; odds ratio [OR] 1.051, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.007-1.097), liver disease (p < 0.001; OR 8.993, 95% CI 2.882-28.065), and Parkinson's disease (p = 0.009; OR 3.636, 95% CI 1.378-9.599). CONCLUSIONS Complications after spinal fixation surgery for OVC with neurological deficits occurred in 14.1%. Age, liver disease, and Parkinson's disease were demonstrated to be independent risk factors for postoperative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A consensus on the optimal surgical procedure for thoracolumbar OVF has yet to be reached due to the previous relatively small number of case series. The study was conducted to investigate surgical outcomes for osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) in the thoracolumbar spine. METHODS In total, 315 OVF patients (mean age, 74 years; 68 men and 247 women) with neurological symptoms who underwent spinal fusion with a minimum 2-year follow-up were included. The patients were divided into 5 groups by procedure: anterior spinal fusion alone (ASF group, n = 19), anterior/posterior combined fusion (APSF group, n = 27), posterior spinal fusion alone (PSF group, n = 40), PSF with 3-column osteotomy (3CO group, n = 92), and PSF with vertebroplasty (VP + PSF group, n = 137). RESULTS Mean operation time was longer in the APSF group (p < 0.05), and intraoperative blood loss was lower in the VP + PSF group (p < 0.05). The amount of local kyphosis correction was greater in the APSF and 3CO groups (p < 0.05). Clinical outcomes were approximately equivalent among all groups. CONCLUSION All 5 procedures resulted in acceptable neurological outcomes and functional improvement in walking ability. Moreover, they were similar with regard to complication rates, prevalence of mechanical failure related to the instrumentation, and subsequent vertebral fracture. Individual surgical techniques can be adapted to suit patient condition or severity of OVF.
