Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) after surgery can cause serious sequelae in patients with tibial plateau fractures. This study aims to report the incidence and characteristics of SSI and to investigate the risk factors of SSI in adult patients with closed tibial plateau fracture, especially the relationship between SSI and preoperative hypoalbuminemia.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of adult patients with closed tibial plateau fracture who were treated at our institution from January 2016 to December 2022.

Purpose We aimed to compare postoperative changes in intervertebral foraminal areas and the mechanisms of foraminal stenosis following fixation surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) with local kyphosis and instability, using three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT). Methods We retrospectively analyzed 55 patients who underwent posterior cervical spinal fixation using pedicle screws. A total of 71 spinal levels (C2/3 to C7/T1) and 144 intervertebral foramina with anchor screws inserted in the upper and lower vertebrae were examined.
