Article Abstract
The use of navigation in spinal surgery has been increasing over the past decade. There are three primary types of navigation in spinal surgery: three-dimensional image-based computer-assisted navigation, robot-assisted navigation, and three-dimensional printed patient-specific drill guides for navigation. All three have demonstrated increased accuracy in placement of spinal instrumentation versus freehand or fluoroscopic-assisted techniques. Each has unique preoperative and intraoperative technical considerations. All three typically rely on three-dimensional imaging and will have varied radiation exposure to the patient and surgical staff based on specific imaging settings used. Navigation options are continually improving and are expected to broaden efficiency, accuracy, and indications in the future.

Background: Cancer screening nonadherence persists among adults who are deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing (DDBHH). These barriers span individual, clinician, and health care system levels, contributing to difficulties understanding cancer information, accessing screening services, and following treatment directives. Critical communication barriers include ineffective patient-physician communication, limited access to American Sign Language (ASL) cancer information, misconceptions about medical procedures, insurance navigation difficulties, and intersectional barriers for multiply marginalized individuals.

Background: In cases of isolated, single-compartment osteoarthritis of the knee, both unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be effective treatment options. This study evaluated rates of technology-assisted utilization in UKA (TA-UKA) using a national claims database over a contemporary 13-year period to determine the trends in use of TA-UKA relative to TKA in the United States.
Methods: Patients undergoing primary UKA and TKA from 2009 to 2022 were identified using a large national claims database.

Department of Health Services Research & Administration, College of Public Health, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE, United States.
Background: With the availability of more advanced and effective treatments, life expectancy has improved among patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC), but this makes communication with their medical oncologist more complex. Some patients struggle to learn about their therapeutic options and to understand and articulate their preferences. Mobile health (mHealth) apps can enhance patient-provider communication, playing a crucial role in the diagnosis, treatment, quality of life, and outcomes for patients living with MBC.
