Study Design. A retrospective database analysis among Medicare beneficiaries Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the effect chronic steroid use and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection on rates surgical site (SSI) mortality in patients 65 years age older who were treated with lumbar spine fusion. Summary Background Data. Systemic immunosuppression focus elsewhere body are considered risk factors for SSI. Chronic previous MRSA have been associated an...
In Brief Study Design. A case report with a review of the literature. Objectives. Anterior cervical spine surgery (ACS) has received widespread acceptance, and as result, variety complications have been reported. Several cases esophageal complications, arising from use various implants grafts, described. The purpose this article is to provide insight into clinical presentation, diagnosis, types involved implants, treatment entity. Summary Background Data. Previous reports (esophageal...
Multiple myeloma (MM) in patients aged greater than 80 years poses an increasingly common challenge for oncology providers. A multidisciplinary workshop was held which MM-focused hematologists/oncologists, geriatricians, and associated health-care team members discussed the state of research MM therapy, as well themes from geriatric medicine that pertain directly to this patient population. summary statement our discussions is presented here, we highlight several topics. disproportionately...
A 24-year-old woman presented with an 11-year history of bilateral hip pain. Radiographs the hips revealed severe slipped upper femoral epiphyses; left side was more severely than right. While moving under fluoroscopy we observed motion at physes and reproduced patient's pain; confirmed diagnosis chronic capital epiphysis. Endocrinology tests showed hypothyroidism. After 1 year thyroxin therapy, pain subsided radiographs fusion physes. This case emphasizes importance screening for endocrine...
Spinal cord (SC) reconstruction (process to reestablish the severed neural continuity at injury site) may provide better recovery from blunt SC (SCI). A miniature swine model of compression was used test hypothesis that with sural nerve in combination surgical decompression and stabilization improves functional, macro- microstructural compared alone. Following T9-T11 injury, five adult Yucatan gilts randomly received laminectomy polyethylene glycol (as fusogen) (n = 3) or without 2) graft...
In Brief Study Design. Case report. Objective. To describe a case of spinal epidural hematoma arising from the synovial joint due to anticoagulation therapy. Summary Background Data. Spontaneous is rarity in literature with variety etiologies. 1 study, it was reported originate osteoarthritis joint. Methods. A lumber presented. Results. 67-year-old man who on therapy presented progressive neurologic symptoms right lower limb. Magnetic resonance imaging scan revealed what thought be L4–L5...
The purpose of this study was to find a landmark according which the surgeon can dissect cervical spine safely, with lowest possibility damaging vertebral artery (VA) during anterior approaches or VA.The "safe zone" for each level described as an area where start from midline in that zone and soft tissue laterally end up on transverse process cross VA while still process. In other words, safe signifies narrowest width at level. such approach, is protected inadvertent deep penetration...
Safe exposure of the vertebral artery (VA) is needed during resection tumors close to and repair lacerations. We defined anatomy anterior root each transverse process (TP) from C3 C6 for identification VA approach. examined TP assessed two approaches safe VA, lateral medial dissection TP, in 20 cadavers. The zone at level cervical spine was as an area which surgeon can start dissect midline that on safely cross laterally. For approach surgical lies between mid axis TPs a line 2 mm parallel...
Background Posterolateral rotatory instability of elbow is considered to be due the disruption ulnar part lateral collateral ligament (LUCL). This pattern may also induced by a fracture components column. Results We present case 16-year-old boy who fell on his left outstretched arm as he attempted jump over tennis net. On initial physical examination, had found varus stress and radial head could felt posteriorly. With valgus supination force combined with axial loading, gapped open patient...
Object Transpedicular thoracic vertebrectomy (TTV) is a safe alternative to the more standard transthoracic approach. A TTV most commonly used address vertebral body fractures due tumor or trauma. reconstruction of anterior column with cage/bone traditionally requires unilateral nerve root sacrifice. In cadaveric model, authors evaluated feasibility transpedicular without If feasible, this may be reasonable approach that could extended lumbar spine where sacrifice not an option. Methods was...
