Pennington Z, Mikula A, Hamouda A, Potes M, Nassr A, Freedman B, et al.
J Clin Med . 2025 Feb; 14(4). PMID: 40004738
: Both poor bone quality and paraspinal sarcopenia have been suggested as risk factors for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) at the upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) following long-segment thoracolumbar fusion. :...

Pennington Z, Hamouda A, Martini M, Kumar R, Mikula A, Potes M, et al.
Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown) . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39976442
Background And Objectives: Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) allows for direct and indirect decompression and segmental lordosis in sagittal plane correction. This study compares the effectiveness of "Bullet" type and...

Mikula A, Pennington Z, Hamouda A, Nassr A, Freedman B, Sebastian A, et al.
Clin Neurol Neurosurg . 2025 Jan; 249:108729. PMID: 39787893
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for loss of intraoperative correction, as measured by lumbar lordosis (LL), with an emphasis on rod characteristics. Methods:...

Hamouda A, Pennington Z, Potes M, Shafi M, Mikula A, Lakomkin N, et al.
J Neurosurg Spine . 2024 Dec; 42(3):331-339. PMID: 39671592
Objective: Hounsfield units (HUs) may better predict biomechanical complications of instrumented fusion than conventional bone quality measures. Typically, noncontrast axial slices are used. This study aims to address the influence...

Mikula A, Rhines L, Patel S, Pennington Z, Karim S, Morris J, et al.
Global Spine J . 2024 Aug; :21925682241278323. PMID: 39166967
Study Design: Survey study. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to characterize the utility of 3D printed patient specific anatomic models for the planning of complex primary spine tumor...

Pinter Z, Bernatz J, Mikula A, Lakomkin N, Pennington Z, Michalopoulos G, et al.
Global Spine J . 2024 Aug; :21925682241270094. PMID: 39091148
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: The impact of paraspinal sarcopenia following fusions that extend to the upper thoracic spine remain unknown. The purpose of the present study was to...

Mikula A, Lakomkin N, Hamouda A, Everson M, Pennington Z, Kumar R, et al.
J Neurosurg Spine . 2024 Jul; 41(3):309-315. PMID: 38968619
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of osteoporosis medications on opportunistic CT-based Hounsfield units (HU). Methods: Spine and nonspine surgery patients were retrospectively identified who...

Ransom S, Pennington Z, Brown N, Shahrestani S, Ryvlin J, Shoustari A, et al.
Neurospine . 2024 Jul; 21(2):458-473. PMID: 38955524
Adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) is a coronal plane deformity often accompanied by sagittal plane malalignment. Surgical correction may involve the major and/or distally-located fractional curves (FCs). Correction of the FC...

Bernatz J, Pumford A, Goh B, Pinter Z, Mikula A, Michalopoulos G, et al.
Clin Spine Surg . 2024 May; 37(4):149-154. PMID: 38706112
Study Design: Retrospective observational study of consecutive patients. Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate VBQ as a predictor of interbody subsidence and to determine threshold values that...

Michalopoulos G, Mikula A, Kerezoudis P, Biedermann A, Parney I, Van Gompel J, et al.
J Neurosurg . 2024 Apr; 141(3):804-814. PMID: 38608305
Objective: Unplanned returns to the operating room (RORs) constitute an important quality metric in surgical practice. In this study, the authors present a methodology to compare a department's unplanned ROR...
