Intra-Discal Vacuum phenomenon (IDVP) is associated with advanced disc degeneration, representing persistent intra-segmental movement. Our objective to further characterise IDVP patterns from both MRI and CT thus informing on an otherwise poorly understood phenomenon. An observational analysis was performed, including over-60s population sample of 325 lumbar discs in 65 subjects (29 M, 36 F) low back pain +/- leg symptoms, the spine concomitant abdomen. Exclusion criteria were those...
Abstract Purpose Intra-Discal Vacuum phenomenon (IDVP) is well-recognised, yet poorly visualised and understood radiological finding in disc degeneration, particularly with regard to its role spinal alignment. CT analysis of the lumbar spine an aging population aims identify patterns associated IDVP including lumbopelvic morphology diagnoses. Methods An was performed over-60s sample 2020 unrelated abdominal scans, without acute presentations. Spinal included sagittal reconstructions assess...
Observational serial computed tomography (CT) analysis of the lumbar spine in a normal-aging population.
Abstract Background Bilateral total hip arthroplasty may be performed simultaneously (SIMTHA) or in two staged operations. Aim To assess attitudes towards and utilization of SIMTHA Irish orthopaedic practice, to patient surgeon factors which are associated with the management bilateral arthritis. Methods A 16-question electronic survey (Google Forms) was distributed via email consultant surgeons who perform arthroplasty, followed by a reminder 1 month later. p value < 0.05 considered...
