Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of Global Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury: Qualitative Review.
TL;DR: TBI is a relatively common entity stretching across traditional geographic and demographic boundaries and affecting pediatric populations worldwide, and Continued civil infrastructure development and public health policy reforms may help to reduce the societal burden of pediatric TBI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complications and radiographic correction in adult scoliosis following combined transpsoas extreme lateral interbody fusion and posterior pedicle screw instrumentation.
Matthew J. Tormenti,Matthew B. Maserati,Christopher M Bonfield,David O. Okonkwo,Adam S. Kanter +4 more
TL;DR: Radiographic outcomes such as the Cobb angle and AVT were significantly improved in patients who underwent a combined transpsoas and posterior approach, and the combination of XLIF and TLIF/posterior segmental instrumentation techniques may lead to less blood loss and to radiographic outcomes that are comparable to traditional posterior-only approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perioperative surgical complications of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: a single-center experience.
Matthew J. Tormenti,Matthew B. Maserati,Christopher M Bonfield,Peter C. Gerszten,John Moossy,Adam S. Kanter,Richard M. Spiro,David O. Okonkwo +7 more
TL;DR: The authors sought to define the perioperative complication rates of the TLIF procedure at a large academic medical center to investigate the effect of previous lumbar surgery, and of multilevel versus single-level interbody fusion on complication rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiographic and clinical outcomes following combined lateral lumbar interbody fusion and posterior segmental stabilization in patients with adult degenerative scoliosis
Zachary J. Tempel,Gurpreet S. Gandhoke,Christopher M Bonfield,David O. Okonkwo,Adam S. Kanter +4 more
TL;DR: A hybrid approach of minimally invasive lateral lumbar interbody fusion followed by supplementary open posterior segmental instrumented fusion is an effective means of achieving correction of both coronal and sagittal deformity, resulting in improvement of quality of life in patients with adult degenerative scoliosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Racial disparities in health care access among pediatric patients with craniosynostosis.
Zackary D. Brown,Amita K. Bey,Christopher M Bonfield,Ashly C. Westrick,Katherine A. Kelly,Kevin Kelly,John C. Wellons +6 more
TL;DR: This study identified a correlation between race and age at consultation, but no association with time to surgery, distance, or family characteristics such as household income, parental education, insurance type, and referring physician type.
