Surgical and Radiographic Outcomes in Cervical Deformity Patients with High T1 Slope and High C2 Slope (HTHC) Versus Low T1 Slope and High C2 Slope (LTHC)

Study Design. Retrospective analysis of a prospective multicenter operative cervical deformity (CD) database. Objective. To determine whether T1 slope (T1S) and C2 slope (C2S) together identify distinct CD phenotypes: cervical-only versus global sagittal deformity, and to compare...

Real-Time Symptom and Wearable Monitoring May Improve Prediction of Postoperative Recovery in Lumbar Spine Surgery Beyond Standard Measures

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Accurately identifying candidates likely to benefit from surgery and addressing modifiable preoperative risk factors are central to optimizing outcomes. Current prediction tools often rely on static clinical data and patient-reported measures, which lac...
