recommended if the index procedure included the lower lumbar spine. The posterior iliac crest is palpated, and a full-thickness flap is created over the dorsolumbar fascia. An assistant can use a Meyerding retractor on the flap as the surgeon uses a Cobb elevator and electrocautery to approach the iliac crest. A vertical incision is made along the middle of the iliac crest, and electrocautery facilitates subperiosteal release of the fascia and gluteal muscles laterally. If tricortical bone graft is needed, both the inner and outer tables of the ilium are exposed. An oscillating saw then can be used to harvest a tricortical graft. If only cancellous bone is needed, a cortical “cap” of the ilium can be removed with an osteotome, and bone gouges can then be used to scoop cancellous bone from between the inner and outer tables. It is recommended that the outer table be exposed to a depth of 3 inches. A Taylor retractor, which can retract the gluteus muscle as well as the entire superficial tissue flap, is inserted. A 0.5-inch osteotome is then used to remove a triangular piece of cortex from the external table. Large curets can then be used to harvest the graft to the depth of the inner table. After sufficient bone has been obtained, large pieces of thrombin-soaked cottonoid pledget can be packed against the exposed bone surface to achieve hemostasis. Alternatively, the posterior iliac bone graft can be obtained through a separate lateral skin incision placed along the border of the posterior iliac crest within 6 to 8 cm from the midline. Remaining steps are similar to those described previously. The complications associated with this technique are donor site pain, injury to cluneal nerves, and injury to the sciatic nerve or superior gluteal nerve or artery if dissection is too deep.
Anterior Iliac Bone Graft
The anterior iliac crest is a potential source of tricortical bone graft for anterior cervical fusions, and bone marrow aspirate from this region is a rich source of stem cells used for supplementing other bone graft material. An incision is made along the border of the iliac crest 4 cm posterior to the ASIS to avoid iatrogenic injury to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve and avulsion of the ASIS. To obtain tricortical graft, the periosteum is elevated along with muscle attachments from inner and outer tables of the ilium. It is preferable to use an oscillating saw over the osteotome to avoid microfracture of the graft, and care should be taken to preserve the ASIS by ensuring that the graft harvest is at least 2 cm proximal to the ASIS. After tricortical bone graft is
removed, more cancellous graft can be obtained, if needed, using a bone gouge. After removal of the bone graft, the fascial edges should be reapproximated with No. 1 synthetic absorbable sterile suture. to reduce the risk of hernia. The complications associated with this technique are donor site pain, meralgia paresthetica, avulsion fracture of the ASIS, hematoma formation, pelvic instability, and infection.
Summary
Each surgical approach to the spine has advantages and limitations. The use of minimally invasive approaches and muscle-sparing approaches is increasing rapidly. Minimally invasive surgical approaches facilitate earlier patient recovery and decrease the need for narcotics in the immediate postoperative period; however, long-term benefits have yet to be proved. Spine surgeons should monitor the literature for reports of complications associated with newer procedures and be mindful of the learning curve associated with incorporating new approaches and techniques into clinical practice.
Key Study Points
The conventional anteromedial approach to the cervical spine is the preferred standard approach to manage disorders of the anterior subaxial spine (C3-C7). The surgical steps used for the posterior midline approach are similar when performing laminectomy or laminoplasty. Preservation of muscular attachments at C2 and C7 are of paramount importance in laminoplasty. The transpedicular approach is a circumferential approach to the thoracic spine. It has been effectively used in the treatment of thoracic vertebral body tumors and infection and may eliminate the need for aggressive thoracotomy. LLIF and OLIF are newer minimally invasive surgical approaches for performing lumbar interbody fusion anteriorly. Knowledge of the involved anatomy and careful evaluation of preoperative imaging studies are essential to avoid complications.
Preserving the muscular attachments along the lateral facet joint is the key to keeping the midline approach minimally invasive when performing TLIF with a cortical bone trajectory.

Twenty-eight patients were included in a study performed to determine the consequences of C2 nerve root sectioning during placement of C1 lateral mass screws. C2 transection was performed in 8 patients and C2 was preserved in 20 patients. All patients were prospectively followed (mean follow-up, 27 months). It was concluded that even though C2 nerve root transection is associated with increased occipital numbness, clinical outcomes were not affected by C2 nerve root transaction. Level of evidence: III.

This retrospective study highlights the safety and early results of a minimally invasive lateral approach for symptomatic thoracic herniated intervertebral disks. The authors evaluated 60 patients with symptomatic thoracic herniated disks treated using a mini open lateral approach and found a 6.7% overall complication rate. The results were comparable with open conventional modalities. It was concluded that minithoracotomy is a less invasive and viable option for the treatment of thoracic disk herniation.

This retrospective chart review of 118 patients identified motor injuries in patients who had undergone LLIF. The study reported a 1.7% incidence of femoral nerve injury, with a level-specific incidence of 4.8% for procedures performed at the L4-L5 disk space, whereas other lumbar levels showed less risk. The authors recommended that care be taken to avoid injury to the T11 and T12 nerve roots during surgical closure. Proper closure of the abdominal wall is needed to avoid abdominal muscle weakness and hernias.

This retrospective review reports on 568 patients who were treated with the minimally invasive lateral retroperitoneal transpsoas approach for interbody fusion. Abdominal wall paresis occurred in 10 patients as a complication of surgery. Abdominal wall paresis resolved in 8 of the 10 patients by the 6-month follow-up visit; the remaining 2 patients were lost to follow-up. It was concluded that abdominal wall paresis is a rare but known potential complication of lateral interbody fusion. Level of evidence: IV.

This case report concerns a rare intraoperative aortic injury that occurred during LLIF at level of L3-L4. While performing direct LLIF through a right-side mini transpsoas approach, the proximal aspect of the interbody implant broke. An attempt to impact the implant further resulted in violation of the L3 end plate and the anterior cortex, which subsequently injured the aorta.

This retrospective study evaluated clinical results of 44 patients who had undergone minimally invasive TLIF. The authors noted a significant decrease in visual analog scale pain scores and greater improvement in Oswestry Disability Index scores. Radiologic evidence of fusion was noted in nearly all patients with both isthmic and degenerative spondylolisthesis. Favorable clinical and radiologic results were achieved after single-level instrumented fusion.

Spine Mechanics and Pathomechanics
John A. Hipp, PhD
Abstract
In routine clinical practice, it is challenging to objectively determine whether the load-bearing, motion-providing, and neurovascular protective capabilities of the spine have been compromised. An understanding of spine mechanics and pathomechanics can help identify functional abnormalities. This knowledge also is important in understanding how available surgical treatments for spine disorders alter the biomechanics of the spine, either as a consequence of decompression or in the process of providing stability. It is essential that clinicians be able to assess the biomechanical success of each spine surgery and understand the biomechanics of the spine and how implants can alter motion.

Introduction
Healthcare providers appreciate that the spine provides structural support for the body and allows a wide range of movements while providing protection of the neurovascular elements within and about the spine. Collectively, load­bearing, motion-providing, and neurovascular protective capabilities are described as the biomechanical functions of the spine. In routine clinical
