The primary aim of this research is to establish whether the amount of walking patients perform in the week following lumbar spinal surgery predicts improvement in function at 6 months. Methods: This study will be a prospective cohort study design, with a projected sample size of 250 participants...
The odds for prolonged opioid use decrease with the increase of the improvement in ODI.#1 in 3 patients undergoing single-level lumbar spinal fusion surgery is at risk for prolonged opioid use.

The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the efficacy and safety of patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in postoperative analgesia of spinal fusion surgery. Potential academic articles were identified from the Cochrane Library, Medline...

To investigate whether the coronal alignment (CA) will deteriorate, and identify the risk factors for coronal malalignment (CM) developing in adult spinal deformity (ASD) after long-fusion surgery. A multi-center retrospective study was performed, which
, due to the excellent results and the absence of adverse effects. More specifically, positive reinforcement / cognitive intervention along with exercise was considered an effective treatment, potentially an alternative to spinal fusion in patients with symptom recurrence, after the first surgery....
