Study Design: Narrative review.
Objective: To synthesize current knowledge on radiographic parameters, classification systems, and compensatory mechanisms essential to the diagnosis and surgical planning of cervical spine deformity (CD) correction.
Summary Of Background Data: CD encompasses a heterogeneous set of conditions associated with neurological impairment and impaired health-related quality of life.

Objective: The objective of this study was to introduce and evaluate foraminoplastic inferior pedicle subtraction osteotomy (FiPSO), a novel technique that involves downward resection of the pedicle and vertebral body, aimed at addressing rigid lower lumbar kyphosis.
Methods: The clinical records were reviewed of the patients who underwent corrective surgery from January 2012 through December 2021 for adult spinal deformity using a combination of procedures: pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) at the lumbar level and spinopelvic fixation. Inclusion criteria included patients older than 40 years with sagittal imbalance symptoms and significant radiographic findings: sagittal vertical axis (SVA) > 50 mm, pelvic tilt (PT) > 25°, or pelvic incidence (PI) minus lumbar lordosis (LL) > 10°.

Hyperdivergent skeletal Class II malocclusion is largely genetically determined and poses significant challenges in orthodontic treatment, particularly due to compromised facial aesthetics, reduced bite force and airway narrowing. Traditionally, orthognathic surgery has been the standard treatment for correcting such skeletal discrepancies. However, the advent of temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) has expanded the possibilities for orthodontic camouflage by allowing effective vertical control.

Background: Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) remains essential for severe micrognathia correction. The clinical adoption of conventional osteotomy techniques has been constrained by complications including non-union, inferior alveolar nerve injury, and dental germ damage, compounded by suboptimal occlusal relationships and compromised facial aesthetics. Critical considerations in MDO execution encompass neural structure preservation, osteotomy gap integrity, and achieving three-dimensional skeletal augmentation to enhance both functional stability and craniofacial proportions.
