ABSTRACT Aims: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the hypotheses that postoperative sagittal imbalance influences development adjacent segment degeneration (ASDeg) in patients who have undergone an anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (ACDF). Settings and Design: This was a retrospective cohort study. Subjects Methods: We analyzed 63 ACDF minimum 2 years follow-up. In imaging evaluation, balance parameters were included, as well radiographic target ASDeg. addition,...
Study Design: Retrospective analysis. Level of evidence III. Objectives: To describe the results after a minimum 1-year follow-up in patients treated with percutaneous discoplasty (PD), minimally invasive technique to treat low back pain elderly advanced degenerative disc disease. The procedure consists improving stability by injecting bone cement severely degenerated pneumodisc. There are few reports literature about this technique. Methods: Fifty-four disease with/without scoliosis PD at...
Diagnostic study, level of evidence III.
Baker's cyst has a high prevalence in adult population. Despite being usually asymptomatic, complications may develop, such as an infection, rupture and content dissemination into the calf. This clinical presentation low incidence with few reports literature. We have not found any publication describing systematic approach for its treatment. The purpose of this study is to propose new classification, diagnosis, treatment recommendations based on case report literature review guide physicians...
Introduction Treatment of unstable distal radial fractures (DRFs) in elderly patients is controversial, and considering the increasing life expectancy, their appropriate treatment growing importance. Our aim was to analyze clinical radiologic outcomes with AO type C DRF treated volar locking plate (VLP). Materials Methods Between 2007 2011, 572 DRFs were operated on our hospital open reduction internal fixation VLP. Of these, only 64 (66 DRFs) met selection criteria (AO DRF, age > 70 years,...
There are very few therapeutic alternatives for patients with proximal femoral epiphyseal bone deficit combined a fracture at another level and signs of infection. This combination can be successfully managed femur megaspacer. article is intended to review our variation this technique show the initial results obtained from 11 cases. Of these cases, there were 6 women 5 men. The mean age was 66 years. average number previous surgeries 3. Definitive prosthetic reconstructive treatment achieved...
Our aim was to evaluate differences in neurosurgeons versus orthopedists access technologies needed perform minimally invasive spine surgeries (MISS) Latin America.We sent a survey members of AO Spine America (January 2020), and assessed the following variables; nationality, level hospital (primary, secondary, tertiary), number spinal operations performed per year, pathologies addressed, performed/year, MISS technology between orthopedists.Responses were returned from 306 (25.6) representing...
El abordaje lateral mínimamente invasivo de columna lumbar para la artrodesis intersomática es una técnica relativamente nueva y ha conseguido resultados prometedores en los pacientes con diferentes patologías lumbar. Es segura que proporciona un adecuado soporte estructural entre platillos vertebrales, puede corregir deformidad planos coronal sagital, ejercer descompresión indirecta del canal raquídeo respetando elementos posteriores. La evidencia sobre esta ido creciendo diversificándose...
La estenosis espinal de las tres regiones la columna en simultáneo es un cuadro infrecuente que requiere una adecuada valoración clínica y imágenes. En actualidad, no existen guías establecidas para su abordaje diagnóstico terapéutico. El objetivo este artículo describir presentación clínica, el tratamiento evolución paciente con triple contrastarlos evidencia disponible a través revisión narrativa bibliografía. Se presenta mujer 69 años edad consultó paraparesia progresiva asociado...
Introducción: El abordaje lateral de la columna lumbar en artrodesis intersomática está descrito para tratar varias enfermedades. Si bien es un procedimiento seguro, a medida que técnica ha ganado popularidad, se han publicado diversas complicaciones asociadas. objetivo este artículo presentar una revisión narrativa bibliografía proveer al lector resumen organizado las comunicadas más frecuentes relacionadas con esta técnica.
 Materiales y Métodos: Se llevó cabo obtenida bases datos...
Objective: The aim of this study was to present the results after an average 7-year follow-up in patients diagnosed with pyogenic spondylodiscitis (PS) treated lumbar discectomy and fusion through minimally invasive lateral interbody (LLIF), without posterior stabilization.Methods: In retrospective analysis, PS LLIF were studied. Variables included C-reactive protein (CRP), blood cultures, findings on magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, x-ray examinations. classification...
Retrospective case serie.
Spinal metastases (SM) account for 5-30% of patients with cancer, causing pain, deformity and/or neurological deficit. Postoperative complications are a concerning subject and wound-related (WRC) may delay adjuvant treatment. The objective this study was to analyze the incidence WRC in SM that underwent surgical treatment as well possible risk factors related occurrence complications.Patients operated between 2011 2021 were analyzed. Demographics characteristics, primary tumor, general...
Frailty is a term used to quantify the physiological age of patients. Higher levels frailty correlate with higher complications and mortality rates after different surgical procedures. The objective this work evaluate relationship between elective spinal surgeries within 90 days.A retrospective observational analytical study patients older than 18 years spine surgery was performed. following variables were analyzed differentially according their Modified Index (mFI) cut-off point 0,18: age,...
Introduction:Intradiscal gas generated from degenerative disc phenomena is called vacuum or pneumodisc.It mainly caused by primary intervertebral osteochondrosis.It has a high prevalence in elderly population.The migration of this to the spinal canal can generate cord root compression and result radiculalgia stenosis.We describe two cases radicular pain due aerial pseudocyst diagnosed treated our center review available reports. Conclusion:The originated epidural gas-containing an unusual...
