Spinal metastases are the most frequently encountered spinal tumour and can affect up to
50% of cancer patients. Both the incidence and prevalence of metastases are thought to be …

OBJECTIVE Augmented reality (AR) is a novel technology that has the potential to increase
the technical feasibility, accuracy, and safety of conventional manual and robotic computer-…

Nerve sheath tumors and meningiomas account for most intradural extramedullary (IDEM)
tumors. These tumors are benign and amenable to complete surgical resection. In recent …

Background Spine surgery relies heavily on imaging, with radiography-based devices being
the major operating room imaging modality. Radiation exposure is an occupational risk …

Objective Cervical spine surgery is a common procedure for treatment of wide variety of
pathologies. In this paper we report approach-related complication rates experienced by our …

Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is a frequently used biomaterial, particularly in orthopedic and
dental implants, and it is considered an inert and benign compound. This has resulted in …

OBJECTIVE:: To evaluate whether stereotactic spine radiosurgery (SRS) results in lower rates
of instrumentation failure or higher rates of fusion compared with surgical decompression …

Coordinated movements are achieved by well-timed activation of selected muscles. This
process relies on intact cerebellar circuitry, as demonstrated by motor impairments following …

OBJECTIVE The use of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has become an imperative
adjunct to the resection of intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs). While the diagnostic …

In higher mammals, motor timing is considered to be dictated by cerebellar control of motor
cortical activity, relayed through the cerebellar-thalamo-cortical (CTC) system. Nonetheless, …
