Vol 5, Supplement 2 (September 2019): Journal of Spine Surgery (Ambulatory Spine Surgery)

The purpose of this focused issue is to provide an up-to-date review of the current state of spine surgery in the ASC setting, to summarize the clinical implications and important considerations, and to outline future trends. We have invited distinguished leaders in the field of spine surgery to contribute their original findings and perspectives on this important topic.

Application of the CARE Guideline as reporting standard in the Journal of Spine Surgery

The Journal of Spine Surgery welcomes case reports which are supposed to report new observations of diseases, clinical findings or novel/unique treatment outcomes relevant to practitioners in the fields of medicine.

For completeness and transparency for published case reports, the Journal of Spine Surgery will apply the CARE guidelines (1) as reporting standards for case reports starting from October 16, 2019. For any submission of case report after the date:

Vol 5, Supplement 1 (June 2019): Journal of Spine Surgery (Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery)

In this issue, we present the current state of minimally invasive spine surgery and review techniques, complications, and economic and societal considerations in minimally invasive spine surgery. We have carefully selected surgeon leaders in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery from a variety of settings to provide a balanced view.

JSS Annual Report 2018

We are glad to present the 2018 Annual Report of JSS here. JSS made great progress on publication quality and quantity in view of its publication number, pageviews, and citations. More information is shown in the Annual Report.

We also would like to give our sincere thanks to all our editorial board members, reviewers, authors and readers. Wish you a happy, healthy and productive 2019!

Case series of posterior instrumentation for repair of burst lumbar vertebral body fractures with entrapped neural elements

Cross section demonstrating use of the nerve root retractor or osteotome to reduce the retropulsed vertebral body fracture segments after distraction has been achieved. Solid arrows show the direction of movement.

Utilization of the 3D-printed spine model for freehand pedicle screw placement in complex spinal deformity correction

An 18-year-old woman with a complicated past medical history and congenital kyphoscoliosis presented with worsening back pain, progressive shortness of breath, and continued curve progression. CT 3D-reconstruction demonstrated severe kyphoscoliosis with 94° residual thoracic scoliosis and 178° severe angular thoracic kyphosis.

A psoas splitting approach developed for outpatient lateral interbody fusion versus a standard transpsoas approach

Lateral fluoroscopy showing insertion of cage within disc space and demineralized bone matrix in Sagittal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Technology interbody cage.

Minimally invasive stabilization of the fractured ankylosed spine: a comparative case series study

All patients in both groups demonstrated complete bony union clinically and radiologically (via CT scan) at a minimum of 12 months following surgery. This was despite some fractures being reduced in mild hyper-extension in both groups. Post-op CT three-dimensional reconstruction with a follow-up plain radiograph showing fracture healing.

Welcome to Journal of Spine Surgery (JSS)

Welcome to Journal of Spine Surgery (JSS), an Open-Access journal devoted to exploring many contemporary issues affecting spine surgery, patient care and the basic sciences that form the foundation of surgical management. The Journal of Spine Surgery is intended to be an international spine journal with an Australasian platform for the exchange of ideas, experiences, new findings and developments in the treatment and outcomes of spinal care.
