The International Journal of Spine Surgery has released a special issue featuring a collection of articles focused on personalized medicine in spinal surgery. Here's a paragraph from their introduction to these articles: "Although the “one-size-fits-all” mentality may enhance the standardization of different areas of medicine, this concept must be carefully reconsidered in the surgical treatment of spinal disease. The diversity of spinal pathologies, differences in symptomatology for similar spinal conditions, patient-specific factors such as comorbidities, and multiple treatment options of mixed efficacy all impact the effort to standardize treatment. As a consequence, outcomes in spinal surgery can be inconsistent, and increasing acknowledgment of these issues has spawned the growth of personalized medicine with the hopes of improving outcomes. … With current technology, preplanning now allows for the production of patient-specific implants. Three-dimensional custom-printed implants tailored to an individual patient’s anatomy and biomechanical requirements can allow for minimal removal of surrounding structures and preservation of normal anatomy during implantation. This could optimize fusion and radiographic alignment. ... These articles highlight recent advancements in enabling technologies and optimization strategies that form the basis of contemporary personalized medicine within spinal surgery. As spine care advances, the role of personalized medicine in spinal surgery will likely become more pervasive with the ultimate goal of improving outcomes." (Park et al., 2024) You can find all the peer-reviewed papers here: https://lnkd.in/gue-CbSg If you have a particular interest in patient specific fusion implants: - Tomographic Assessment of Fusion Rate, Implant-Endplate Contact Area, Subsidence, and Alignment With Lumbar Personalized Interbody Implants at 1-Year Follow-Up - Changes in Alignment at Untreated Vertebral Levels Following Short-Segment Fusion Using Personalized Interbody Cages: Leveraging Personalized Medicine to Reduce the Risk of Reoperation - Mismatch Between Pelvic Incidence and Lumbar Lordosis After Personalized Interbody Fusion: The Importance of Preoperative Planning and Alignment in Degenerative Spine Diseases - Predictability in Achieving Target Intervertebral Lordosis Using Personalized Interbody Implants - Radiographic Alignment in Deformity Patients Treated With Personalized Interbody Devices: Early Experience From the COMPASS Registry

Morristown Medical Center was the site of the first spine surgery globally using the Mako Spine System from Stryker, one of the world’s leading medical technology companies. The first surgery was performed by Dr. Jason Lowenstein, director of scoliosis and spinal deformity at Morristown Medical Center, the flagship facility of Atlantic Health System. Currently in limited market release, Mako Spine with Spine Guidance 5 Software provides surgeons the ability to know more about their patients with an intraoperative CT scan and leverages haptic guidance capabilities for a customized experience and intuitive workflow, with the flexibility to move from level to level as needed.

If you are considering surgery for a disc injury, but haven't tried more conservative care first.... consider this: Two More Studies Confirm Most Disc Herniations Resorb “The existing evidence shows that the overall resorption incidence of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) was 70.39%, the resorption incidence of ruptured LDH is higher than that of contained LDH." Zou T, Liu XY, Wang PC, Chen H, Wu PG, Feng XM, Sun HH. Incidence of spontaneous resorption of lumbar disc herniation: a meta-analysis. Clinical Spine Surgery. 2023 Jul 31:10-97. Link “The probabilities of spontaneous regression [were)]: Bulging - 13.3% Protruded - 52.5% Extruded - 70.4% Sequestered - 93.9% Extruded and sequestered discs were also significantly more likely to completely regress than smaller morphologies." Rashed S, Vassiliou A, Starup-Hansen J, Tsang K. Systematic review and meta-analysis of predictive factors for spontaneous regression in lumbar disc herniation. Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine. 2023 Jul 14;1(aop):1-8.

Dr. Jean A. Ouellet, MD, Modern Luque Trolley Surgery for Early Onset Scoliosis Here's a terrific interview and presentation from Dr. Jean Ouellet on a new surgical method for treating Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS). We discussed current treatment options for EOS and how challenging this demographic is to treat. We look at both a Canadian and European study that looks at outcomes of this surgery in comparison with current techniques like Shilla. Once again, I learned a ton about EOS and I'm passing on my education to all members. Thanks to Dr. Jean Ouellet for sharing a topic that is very much passionate about. ___________ Here's the full timestamp list to browse. 0:00 Introduction 0:46 The Challenge of Treating Early Onset Scoliosis. 3:31 Modern Luque Trolley: Self-growing rods construct for the treatment of EOS. 3:46 Managing Early Onset Scoliosis. 4:44 Serial Casting for EOS. 6:38 When to proceed to surgery in EOS? 7:58 Surgical Options for Growth Sparing Techniques. 11:42 Evolution of Modern Luque Trolley. 18:57 Self Growth Guidance: Key is capturing the apex.

I share with you our new publication in one of the highest-impact journals in spinal surgery, Global Spine Journal AO Spine Youth Club https://lnkd.in/dRaJ-xd2 We highlight some of the conclusions: The learning curve is similar to any surgical technique. We need to stop saying that it is too long. Although the learning curve for biportal endoscopy is somewhat longer, there is a rational explanation for this. We are evaluating the curves of the masters. We will need to reassess in a few years and see how they align with the curves of the disciples, who will learn from mistakes. We must emphasize the learning of veteran surgeons. We have observed that greater experience leads to better outcomes. Caution and knowledge are key to avoiding complications. We have provided a series of recommendations to improve learning in spinal endoscopy. Thanks to Juan Alvarez de Mon: you are an example to follow. We make a great EndoColumna team in A Coruña. Thanks to OMEDICS Gonzalo Mariscal Ruiz-Rico for their help with the statistical work.

Sharing my thoughts on UBE for case of Posterior Ring Apophyseal Fracture in an adolescent child at the Annual Clinical meet of my Institute Points Discussed: 1. Why opt for surgical management after a failed trial of Conservative treatment 2. What were the Surgical options 3. What is UBE or Unilateral Biportal Endoscopy 4. Why UBE is better in paediatric age group 5.
