Adjacent segment disease: Current evidence and the role of motion preservation technologies
Spinal fusion is gold-standard treatment for degenerative disc disease (DDD) both at cervical and lumbar spine, and it is time tested. Perhaps it has its bundle of complications.

Additional Decompression at Adjacent Segments Leads to Adjacent Segment Degeneration After PLIF [PDF]
Adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) is one of the major complications of lumbar fusion. Several previous retrospective studies reported ASD after PLIF. However, few reports evaluated whether decompression surgery combined with fusion surgery increases the rate of complications in adjacent segments.

How to prevent preoperative adjacent segment degeneration L5/S1 segment occuring postoperative adjacent segment disease? A retrospective study of risk factor analysis [PDF]
Objective L5/S1 segment is one of the most common lumbar degenerative segments with high clinical failure rate. When the clinically responsible segment consists of one or more segments including L4/L5 segment, whether to merge the severely degraded L5/S1

New Classification for Clinically Symptomatic Adjacent Segment Pathology in Cervical Disc Disease [PDF]
Study DesignClinical adjacent segment pathology (CASP) is common after cervical disc surgery. A critical examination of 320 patients operated for cervical disc prolapse revealed that CASP can also occur in patients with congenital and degenerative fusion

Adjacent Segment Pathology after Lumbar Spinal Fusion [PDF]
One of the major clinical issues encountered after lumbar spinal fusion is the development of adjacent segment pathology (ASP) caused by increased mechanical stress at adjacent segments, and resulting in various radiographic changes and clinical symptoms.

Delayed Adjacent Segment Infection After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion
Adjacent level infection (ASI) is a rare but potentially serious complication of anterior cervical fusion. We report a case of spondylodiscitis occurring adjacent to level at which anterior cervical discectomy and fusion was performed.
