Hardware Failure in Spinal Tumor Surgery: A Hallmark of Longer Survival?

Nikita Zaborovskii et al.

Summary: This study investigates risk factors for instrumentation failure requiring revision surgery in patients with spinal tumors. The study finds that pelvic fixation, invasiveness of the surgery, and survival greater than 5 years are independent risk factors for hardware failure.

Cost-Utility Analysis Compared Between Radiotherapy Alone and Combined Surgery and Radiotherapy for Symptomatic Spinal Metastases in Thailand

Pasawat Taechalertpaisarn et al.

Summary: This study aimed to compare patient quality of life and cost-utility between radiotherapy alone and combined surgery and radiotherapy for spinal metastasis (SM) in Thailand. The results showed that combined treatment significantly improved patient quality of life compared to radiotherapy alone during the 6-month post-treatment period. However, the combination treatment was not found to be cost-effective compared to radiotherapy alone at the Thailand willingness-to-pay threshold of 5,113 USD/QALY.

Carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK versus titanium implants: an in vitro comparison of susceptibility artifacts in CT and MR imaging

Theresa Kraetzig et al.

Summary: Analysis of sensitivity artifacts from titanium and CFRP screw-rod phantoms in CT and MRI scans reveals that CFRP implants have lower artifact intensity, which can improve the accuracy of follow-up imaging and radiation planning.

Radiolucent Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Implants for Treatment of Spinal TumorseClinical, Radiographic, and Dosimetric Considerations

Ariel Takayanagi et al.

Summary: The treatment of spine tumors is personalized and multimodal, often involving surgery followed by radiation therapy. Carbon-based materials, such as CFR implants, have shown to be promising alternatives to traditional titanium implants in terms of radiolucency and biocompatibility, with potential benefits for patients. Further trials are needed to assess their impact on local tumor control.
