OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) stimulation of the thoracic medial branch of the dorsal ramus in patients with chronic thoracic facet joint (TFJ) pain who were refractory to medial branch block (MBB).
PURPOSE: We prospectively assessed the early radiographic and clinical outcomes (minimum follow-up of 2 years) of robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation (Robot-PSF) and conventional freehand pedicle screw fixation (Conv-PSF).
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical accuracy and perioperative outcomes for pedicle screw placement in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) between the robot-assisted (RA) technique and fluoroscopy-guided (FG) technique.

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The introduction and integration of robot technology into modern spine surgery provides surgeons with millimeter accuracy for pedicle screw placement. Coupled with computer-based navigation platforms, robot-assisted spine surgery ...
This work aimed to explore the relationship between spine surgery lumbar facet joint (LFJ) and lumbar disc herniation (LDH) via compressed sensing algorithm-based MRI images to analyze the clinical symptoms of patients with residual neurological symp...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted (RA) technique has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, providing promising outcomes of inserting accuracy and cranial facet joint protection. However, studies comparing this novel method with other assisted meth...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Navigated and robotic pedicle screw placement systems have been developed to improve the accuracy of screw placement. However, the literature comparing the safety and accuracy of robotic and navigated screw placement with fluorosc...
STUDY DESIGN: This is a retrospective, cross-sectional, population-based study that automatically measured the facet joint (FJ) angles from T2-weighted axial magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs) of the lumbar spine using deep learning (DL).
