  • CONCLUSIONS: LLA and SS were correlated pre-and postoperatively for all patients. Correlation strength and predictive ability was superior for patients with aligned T4-L1-hip axes, highlighting the importance of proper alignment of the arches cranial to the LLA. Focusing on the LLA and T4-L1-hip axis should be a priority for surgical planning to optimize prediction of SS (and thus elimination of pathologic pelvic retroversion) after LLA modification regardless of fusion length or Roussouly curve type.

  • Effect Modifiers of the Association Between Physical Activities and Subsequent Low Back Pain Flares. [Journal Article]
    Spine (Phila Pa 1976). 2026 Sep 24. [Online ahead of print]Silver JS, Timmons A, … Suri PS
  • CONCLUSIONS: Concurrent biomechanical actions were generally associated with greater activity-flare risk. Work-relatedness and analgesic administration did not modify activity-flare associations. These findings provide the first epidemiologic evidence that contextual factors, and not solely the type of activity, may influence activity-associated LBP flare risk for some activities.

  • Mechanical complication patterns following cervical and cervicothoracic junction en bloc spondylectomy of primary spinal tumors: a single-institution decade of experience. [Journal Article]

  • CONCLUSIONS: Mechanical complications occurred in 15% of cervical/CTJ spondylectomies, with a notable proportion involving anterior column failure. Although underpowered for definitive predictors, this exploratory analysis identified several risk signals: limited proximal fixation, small-diameter 2-rod constructs, and cobalt-chromium rod usage that may inform CTJ-specific reconstruction strategies. These findings support exploring the impact of robust proximal fixation, biologically supported anterior reconstruction, bone-health optimization, and long-term surveillance on mechanical complications in CTJ en bloc spondylectomy of primary spinal tumors.
