لا يوجد اي فائدة من استخدام الحزام لمرضى الجنف (scoliosis) بعد اكتمال نمو العمود الفقري. إذا عندك جنف استشر جراح عمود فقري متخصص في المجال قبل ان تهدر أموالك.

Can epilepsy surgery halt - or even reverse - cognitive decline in children? 🧠👶 To answer this, we studied long-term neuropsychological trajectories before and after epilepsy surgery. Honoured to have this published in @Brain1878 🔗 tinyurl.com/2s3wu9u6 🧵Main findings:

Landmark study from @maria_eriksson_ and the @GOSH_NeuroSurg team. Congratulations on this tremendous effort and publication.

Great anatomic tips for T1 freehand pedicle screw technique @CAS_Spine published now @NeurosurgeryCNS: Midpoint of C7 Lateral Mass Serves as an Accurate Reference for T1 screws. I use a similar technique allowing T1 to easily line up with cervical screws. @CNS_Update @DKondziolkaCNS journals.lww.com/onsonline/abst…

New mini-review from myself, @HusainShakil2 @AllanLeviMD, Drs. Frank Farhadi, Jeff Wilson, Carlo Santaguida. Happy to keep correcting old fallacies, and keep focused on who benefits most from surgery at the right time. Check it out—

I am honored to host my friend @Mhuang1986 of @MethodistHosp, a spectacular complex spinal surgeon and an international thought leader in spinal endoscopy for this Thursday's @virtualspine. Please join us for another fantastic seminar! zoom.us/meeting/regist…

What are the key, practical alignment parameters in cervical spinal deformity surgery? Hope colleagues find this brief review on this topic helpful. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Honoured to "officially" assume leadership of the Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences (#CJNS @JournalCJNS @CNSFNeuroLinks ) with my inaugural editorial (cambridge.org/core/journals/…) in the latest issue (cambridge.org/core/journals/…)

Pedicle substraction osteotomy #PSO is a powerful technique in correcting rigid and severe TL spine deformity. Each osteotomy tool will do the job, but IMO, I found less time, blood loss, and complications with using an ultrasonic bone scalpel. (Disclosure: none)
