    Abstract Background: The perioperative pain and function of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) approach those in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). This study aimed to evaluate whether the clinical outcomes, especially functions, of patients with RA reached those of OA, utilizing a background-matched cohort.
    Methods: Patients who underwent TKA between 2013 and 2021 were enrolled. Preoperative and minimum 2-year postoperative scores, specifically the Original Knee Society Score (OKSS) and New Knee Society Score (2011KSS), between RA and OA were compared. Clinical assessments were performed on unadjusted and propensity-score matched cohorts, ensuring age, sex, body mass index, and valgus deformity rate parity.
    Results: In an unadjusted cohort involving 98 patients with RA and 560 patients with OA, patients with RA demonstrated inferior preoperative OKSS-Function Score (FS) but similar postoperative functional scores to OA patients. In the matched cohort of 83, patients with RA displayed lower preoperative OKSS- FS (median difference: 20, P < 0.001) and 2011KSS functional activities (difference: 9, P = 0.01) beyond minimum clinically important differences than patients with OA. Patients with RA improved more in OKSS-FS, yielding no postoperative difference compared with patients with OA. However, postoperative 2011KSS functional activities remained lower in patients with RA (difference: 9.5, P = 0.03), especially in advanced functions, than in those with OA.
    Conclusion: Postoperative function showed no difference between patients with RA and OA in the unadjusted cohort; within the background-matched cohort, postoperative function, especially advanced function, was inferior in patients with RA to those with OA.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to quantify the change in pressure on the cage during compression manipulation in lumbar interbody fusion. While the procedure involves applying compression between pedicle screws to press the cage against the endplate, the exact compression force remains elusive. We hypothesize that an intact facet joint might serve as a fulcrum, potentially reducing cage pressure.
    Methods: Pressure on the intervertebral disc cage was measured during compression manipulation in 4 donor cadavers undergoing lumbar interbody fusion. Unilateral facetectomy models with both normal and parallel compression and bilateral facetectomy models were included. A transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion cage with a built-in load cell measured the compression force.
    Results: Pressure data from 14 discs indicated a consistent precompression pressure average of 68.16 N. Following compression, pressures increased to 125.99 N and 140.84 N for normal and parallel compression postunilateral facetectomy, respectively, and to 154.58 N and 150.46 N for bilateral models. A strong linear correlation (correlation coefficient: 0.967, P < 0.0001) between precompression and postcompression pressures emphasized the necessity of sufficient precompression pressure for achieving desired postcompression outcomes. None of the data showed a decrease in compression force to the cage with the compression maneuver.
    Conclusions: Both normal and parallel compression maneuvers effectively increased the pressure on the cage, irrespective of the facet joint resection status. Compression manipulation consistently enhanced compressive force on the cage. However, when baseline pressure is low, the manipulation might not yield significant increases in compression force. This underlines the essential role of meticulous precompression preparation in enhancing surgical outcomes.

    Abstract Study design: A retrospective observational study.
    Purpose: This study aimed to determine an accurate and convenient screening method for predicting proximal junctional fractures (PJFr) following surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) using computed tomography (CT)-based measurement of Hounsfield units (HUs).
    Overview of literature: CT-based measurement of HUs is an alternative tool for assessing bone mineral density. However, the optimal method for predicting adjacent vertebral fractures following spinal fusion using HUs remains unclear.
    Methods: This retrospective observational study included 42 patients who underwent reconstructive surgery for ASD. Elliptical regions of interest (ROIs) on the axial section and rectangular ROIs on the sagittal section were placed at the upper instrumented vertebrae (UIV), UIV+1, and UIV+2. In addition, the HU value of the L2 vertebra was used as the representative.
    Results: PJFr occurred in 28.6% of patients within 2 years following surgery. The HU values obtained from the axial sections of L2, UIV, UIV+1, and UIV+2 were not significantly associated with the incidence of PJFr within 2 years, except for the ROI set in the lower region of the L2 vertebra. However, the HU value of the anterior third of the UIV in the sagittal section was significantly lower in the PJFr group than in the nonPJFr group (87.0 vs. 160.3, p =0.001). A UIV HU value of <100 was associated with a higher incidence of PJFr than an HU vaue of >100 (p <0.05).
    Conclusions: Measurements of HU in the anterior one-third of the UIV in the sagittal section demonstrated predictive ability for PJFr following ASD surgery. A UIV HU value of <100 emerged as a risk factor for PJFr.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate S2 alar screw (S2AS) accuracy and factors associated with S2AS loosening and lumbosacral nonunion.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent lumbosacral fusion surgery with S2AS addition under fluoroscopy. S2AS loosening and lumbosacral nonunion were analyzed using a 1-year postoperative computed tomography. S2AS insertion accuracy was originally classified as accurate, short, anterior perforation, lateral perforation, and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) deviation among lateral perforation. Clinical data including sex, age, body mass index, fused segments, fusion procedure, primary or revision surgery, Japanese Orthopedic Association scores and complications were collected. Factors associated with S2AS loosening and lumbosacral nonunion were analyzed.
    Results: A total of 37 patients (74 screws, age: 63.78 ± 13.57 years, female/male: 14/23 patients, body mass index: 23.11 ± 2.53, fused segments: 1-4 levels, revision: 38%) were included. S2AS loosening and lumbosacral nonunion were observed in 18 screws (13%) and 8 patients (22%) respectively. Only 35 screws (47%) were inserted accurately in our classification. Short, lateral perforation, and anterior perforation were observed in 14 screws (19%), 22 screws (30%), and 3 screws (4.1%). SIJ deviation was seen in 15 screws (20%) Factors associated with S2AS loosening were older age (P = 0.038), fusion levels (P = 0.011), and SIJ deviation (P < 0.001). S2AS loosening affects S1 pedicle screw (S1PS) loosening (P = 0.001). Furthermore, S2AS loosening is a risk factor for lumbosacral nonunion (P = 0.046).
    Conclusions: S2AS insertion under fluoroscopy is inaccurate. S2AS loosening induces S1PS loosening and lumbosacral nonunion. Surgeons should avoid deviating to SIJ, especially in older patients and relatively longer fusion.

    Abstract Meckel's cave or the trigeminal cistern is a subarachnoid space near the apex of the petrous portion of the temporal bone and contains cerebrospinal fluid and the Gasserian ganglion, which divides into the ophthalmic (V1), maxillary (V2), and mandibular (V3) nerves. Infectious, inflammatory, congenital, and neoplastic lesions can occur in Meckel's cave. Leptomeningeal metastasis of glioblastoma (GBM), IDH-wildtype to Meckel's cave is rare. We encountered a case of leptomeningeal metastasis of GBM to Meckel's cave in an elderly female patient who presented with pain around her right eye. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed enhancing lesions in the right temporal lobe and cervical spinal cord. The pathological diagnosis of GBM was confirmed after biopsy of the cervical spinal cord lesion, which showed hyperaccumulation of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) on FDG-positron emission tomography. This case indicates that metastatic lesions can also occur in Meckel's cave.

    Abstract Background: Preoperative identification of osteoporosis during spine surgery is of critical importance. Additionally, the Hounsfield units (HU) measured using computed tomography (CT) have gained considerable attention. This study aimed to propose a more accurate and convenient screening method for predicting vertebral fractures after spinal fusion in elderly patients by analyzing the HU value of different range of interests of thoracolumbar spine.
    Methods: Our sample pool for analysis consisted of 137 elderly female patients aged >70 years who underwent one- or two-level spinal fusion surgery with a diagnosis of adult degenerative lumbar disease. The HU values of the anterior 1/3 of the vertebral bodies based on sagittal plane and those of vertebral bodies based on axial plane at T11-L5 were measured using the perioperative CT. The incidence of postoperative vertebral fractures with respect to the HU value was investigated.
    Results: Vertebral fractures were identified in 16 patients during the mean follow-up period of 3.8 years. While no significant association was found between HU value of L1 vertebral body or minimum HU value from axial plane and the incidence of the postoperative vertebral fracture, the minimum vertebral HU value of the anterior 1/3 of vertebral body from sagittal plane was associated with the incidence of the postoperative vertebral fracture. Patients with a minimum anterior 1/3 vertebral HU value of <80 had a higher incidence of postoperative vertebral fractures. The adjacent vertebral fractures occurred at the level of the vertebra with the lowest HU value, with a high probability. The existence of the vertebra with a minimum HU value of <80 within two levels of upper instrumented vertebrae was a risk factor for adjacent vertebral fracture.
    Conclusion: HU measurement of the anterior 1/3 of vertebral body predicts the risk of vertebral fracture after short spinal fusion surgery.

    Abstract Background: Although autogenous bone implantation is considered to be the gold standard for the reconstruction of bone defects, this approach remains challenging when treating extensive bone defects (EBDs). Therefore, artificial materials (AMs) such as artificial bone and scaffolds are often used for treating EBDs. Nevertheless, complications such as material failure, foreign body reaction, and infection are common. To overcome these issues, we aimed to develop a new treatment for an EBD using scaffold-free adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) to fabricate chondrogenic/osteogenic-induced constructs without AMs.
    Methods: ADSCs were obtained from the subcutaneous adipose tissue of 8-week-old female Wistar rats (n = 3) and assessed to determine their potential for multilineage differentiation into adipocytes (Oil Red O staining), chondrocytes (hematoxylin and eosin, Alcian blue, and Safranin O staining), and osteoblasts (Alizarin red and von Kossa staining). Spheroids (n = 320), each containing 3.0 × 104 ADSCs, were then used to fabricate scaffold-free cell constructs using a bio-3D printer with a needle array. The spheroids and constructs were stimulated with induction medium to induce chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation. The induced cartilage- and bone-like constructs were finally evaluated using micro-computed tomography (μCT) and histological analysis.
    Results: The collected ADSCs were capable of trilineage differentiation, and were successfully used to produce scaffold-free constructs. The fabricated constructs (n = 3) exhibited equivalent strength (load, 195.3 ± 6.1 mN; strength, 39.1 ± 1.2 kPa; and stiffness, 0.09 ± 0.01 N/mm) to that of soft tissues such as the muscles in the uninduced condition. In chondrogenic induction experiments, Alcian blue and Safranin O staining confirmed the differentiation of the constructs into cartilage, and cartilage tissue-like structures were produced. In the osteogenic induction experiment, Alizarin Red and von Kossa staining showed calcium salt deposition, and μCT images confirmed the same calcification level as that of the cortical bone.
    Conclusions: Scaffold-free constructs consisting of ADSCs without an AM were fabricated, and cartilage- and bone-like tissues were successfully generated, demonstrating their potential for bone reconstruction.
