Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Clinical Spine Surgery focuses on surgical and interventional treatments for spinal conditions. Research includes evaluating surgical techniques such as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), endoscopic spine surgery, and laminoplasty. Studies also investigate the use of bone cement in vertebroplasty, artificial intelligence in predicting surgical outcomes, and the effectiveness of different anesthetic protocols for spinal procedures. The journal covers comparative analyses of surgical versus conservative management, the impact of prior conditions on surgical outcomes, and the biomechanics of spinal implants and instrumentation.
