CERVICAL SPINAL KYPHOTIC DEFORMITY: A Comparative Cohort Study Analyzing Success of Surgical Correction

Introduction: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of simultaneous surgical correction for bilateral hallux valgus compared with unilateral correction using percutaneous forefoot surgery techniques (PFS). Material and Methods: A prospective cohort study of 82 patients (106 feet). The mean follow-up was 58.7[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]1.5 months (range 22.3 to 112.1). Patients were divided into two groups, unilateral surgical group (group U, 58 feet) and simultaneous bilateral surgical group (group B, 48 feet). Results: Preoperative mean visual analog scale (VAS) was 6.2 points in group U and 6.3 in group B ([Formula: see text]), at the last follow-up it decreased in both groups (1.6 group U and 1.8 group B, [Formula: see text]). AOFAS score improved from approximately 50 points preoperative in both groups, to 88 at the last follow-up. Mean hallux valgus angles in groups U and B changed from 34.7[Formula: see text] and 34.3[Formula: see text] preoperatively ([Formula: see text]), to 21.3[Formula: see text] and 22.4[Formula: see text] follow-up, respectively ([Formula: see text]). With the numbers available, no significant inter-group differences were observed in clinical and radiographic outcomes. Conclusions: PFS is a valid procedure for outpatient simultaneous surgical correction in patients with bilateral hallux valgus. Level of Evidence: II Prospective Comparative Cohort Study.

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of trabeculectomy (TE), single XEN microstent implantation (solo XEN) or combined XEN implantation and cataract surgery (combined XEN) in primary open-angle glaucoma cases, naïve to prior surgical treatment, using a monocentric retrospective comparative cohort study. Intraocular pressure (IOP) and the number of IOP-lowering drugs (Meds) were monitored during the first 24 months after surgery. Further disease progression was monitored using peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness examinations using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) as well as visual acuity (VA) and visual field (VF) tests. In the TE group (52 eyes), the mean IOP decreased from 24.9 ± 5.9 to 13.9 ± 4.2 mmHg (p < 0.001) and Meds decreased from 3.2 ± 1.2 to 0.5 ± 1.1 (p < 0.001). In the solo XEN (38 eyes) and the combined XEN groups, the mean IOP decreased from 24.1 ± 4.7 to 15.7 ± 3.0 mmHg (p < 0.001) and 25.4 ± 5.6 to 14.7 ± 3.2 mmHg (p < 0.001), while Meds decreased from 3.3 ± 0.8 to 0.8 ± 1.2 (p < 0.001) and 2.7 ± 1.2 to 0.4 ± 1.0 (p < 0.001), respectively. The VF and VA indices showed no sign of further deterioration, the RNFL thickness further decreased in all treatment groups after surgery. TE and XEN led to comparable reductions in IOP and Meds. Although the VA and VF indices remained unaltered, the RNFL thickness continuously decreased in all treatment groups during the 24-month follow-up.
