Role of Surgeon Demographic Factors in the Management of L4-5 Grade I Spondylolisthesis: A Survey by the AO Spine Knowledge Forum Degenerative.

Study DesignCross-sectional survey.ObjectiveWe explore the demographic factors amongst surgeons responsible for decision-making in the management of Grade I L4-5 degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis(DLS).MethodsA survey presenting three clinical scenarios of DLS with varying degrees of neurological compression and instability was distributed to the AOSpine members globally to ascertain surgical management preferences.

Factors influencing the adoption of innovation in spine surgery: An international survey of AO spine network.

Introduction: Knowledge translation from research to clinical practice can often be challenging, and practice modification patterns among surgeons may stem from a variety of sources, including personal experience, peer influence, ongoing education, and evolving research findings.

Research Question: This study aimed to investigate the adoption patterns amongst surgeons for newer innovations and to analyse the factors affecting the implementation of the same in clinical practice. We used the adoption of osteobiologics as a case example.

Study Design: Systematic literature review.

Objective: To analyze the literature and describe the evidence supporting osteobiologic use in revision anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery.

Methods: A systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and ClinicalTrials.
