Biological Response to a Novel Hybrid Polyoligomer: in vitro and in vivo Models

The aim of the study is to evaluate biocompatibility of a novel hybrid polyoligomer in in vitro and in vivo models.

[Philosophy of some problems of spine neurosurgery]

The development of spine neurosurgery raises some questions concerning the methodology, practical significance, treatment and diagnosis of spinal diseases. In this regard, we inevitably turn to the methods of philosophical knowledge as a basis for analysis and synthesis of scientific information. This approach allows you to avoid mistakes in practice, which can have negative ethical and socio-economic consequences for society. Some controversial issues of spine surgery are discussed in the manuscript. Advisability of syndromic approach in the treatment of spine diseases, determining the length of spine fusion for injury, prediction of postoperative segmental instability due to osteoporosis and extrapolation of the principles of spine fusion surgery to arthroplasty are considered through the prism of philosophical categories.

Lumbar Spinal Fusion Using Lateral Oblique (Pre-psoas) Approach (Review)

Lumbar spinal fusion is one of the most common operations in spinal surgery. For its implementation, anterolateral (pre-psoas) approach (oblique lumbar interbody fusion, OLIF) is now increasingly used due to its high efficacy and safety. However, there is still little information on the clinical and radiological results of using this technique.

The aim of the study was to analyze the safety and efficacy of OLIF in the treatment of lumbar spine disorders as presented in the literature.

Augmentation of Pedicle Screws Using Bone Grafting in Patients with Spinal Osteoporosis

The aim of the study was to develop a new method of vertebral augmentation based on autologous and allogeneic bone chips to be used in pedicle screw fixation and to compare this method with the technique based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
