The first set of studies discusses the management of carpal tunnel syndrome as well as the treatment for ulnar neuropathy at the elbow, which is the second most common entrapment neuropathy after carpal tunnel syndrome, and it describes lower extremity entrapment neuropathies. The second set of studies examines solitary benign neurofibromas or neurilemomas, which are relatively rare, and considers the international consensus on malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors in neurofibromatosis 1. The third set of studies assesses the ulnar nerve as an alternative for nerve transfer after complete avulsion of the C5–C6 brachial plexus roots in order to restore elbow function, looks at outcomes of surgery in 1,019 brachial plexus lesions treated at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, and evaluates the surgical treatment of brachial plexus birth palsy. The last two studies introduce the application of magnetic resonance neurography in the evaluation of patients with peripheral nerve pathology and propose a five-tiered classification of peripheral nerve injuries.","PeriodicalId":102854,"journal":{"name":"Congress of Neurological Surgeons Essent","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126895771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first study addresses the question of adjacent segment disease in the cervical spine. The second study, which presents a critical review of cervical laminoplasty, has a historical value showing how a novel procedure can be rejected at first but subsequently commonly adopted. The next two studies compare lumbar discectomy versus nonoperative treatment for lumbar disc herniation, and determine the safety and efficacy of bone morphogenetic proterin-2 in anterior lumbar interbody fusion. The following study is also of historic value, it evaluates the effect of pedicle screw instrumentation on fusion rates in posterolateral lumbar spinal fusion. The following studies focus on the treatment of adult scoliosis, compare the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study Low-Risk Criteria to the Canadian C-Spine Rule in patients with trauma, and demonstrate that direct decompressive surgery plus postoperative radiotherapy is superior to treatment with radiotherapy alone for patients with spinal cord compression caused by metastatic cancer. Finally, a historical paper from 1980 investigates anterior approaches to the cervical spine.","PeriodicalId":102854,"journal":{"name":"Congress of Neurological Surgeons Essent","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122539734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
