Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain is an under diagnosed source of low back due in part to lack visible pathology on radiographs and symptoms mimicking other back-related disorders. Open SI fusion has been performed since the 1920s. This technique fallen out favor with introduction minimally invasive options. To date there no direct comparison between open MIS fusion.We conducted a multi-center, retrospective comparative cohort study patients who underwent using either surgical (OS) combination...

Object : Previous reports of minimally invasive (MIS) sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion for low back, SI joint, and buttock pain secondary to disorders have shown favorable short- mid-term outcomes. Herein we present 5-year clinical radiographic outcomes after MIS using a series triangular porous titanium plasma spray (TPS) coated implants. Methods Consecutive patients treated with degenerative sacroiliitis and/or disruptions between October 2007 March 2009 were evaluated. Pain on VAS, an...

Sacroiliac joint (SI) pain is an often-overlooked cause of low back due, in part, to lack specific findings on radiographs and symptoms mimicking other back-related disorders. We report our experience with minimally invasive (MIS) SI arthrodesis using a series triangular, titanium plasma spray (TPS) coated implants patients refractory conservative care.We outcomes from 18 12 months postoperative follow-up.Demographics, complications, clinical visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, Oswestry...

Background . SI joint pain is difficult to diagnose due overlapping symptoms of the lumbar spine, and until recently, treatment options have been limited. The purpose this retrospective study report on safety effectiveness MIS arthrodesis using a series triangular, porous plasma coated implants in patients refractory conservative care. Methods We first 40 consecutive with one-year follow-up data that underwent fusion iFuse Implant System (SI-BONE, Inc., San Jose, CA) by single surgeon....

<h3>Introduction</h3> Since it became available in the mid-2010s, dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation has become part of armamentarium to treat chronic pain. To date, one randomized controlled trial, and several studies moderate sample size various etiologies have been published on this topic. We conducted a pooled analysis investigate generalizability individual identify differences outcome between pain etiologic subgroups and/or location. <h3>Materials Methods</h3> One prospective,...

SI joint pain can mimic discogenic low back or even radicular pain. Patient presentations vary considerably and conditions may include back, groin, and/or pain, leading to the potential for inaccurate diagnosis treatment. Despite large number of patients with treatment options have been limited conservative care involving physical therapy injections, radiofrequency rhizotomy, traditional open arthrodesis surgery. The purpose this retrospective study is evaluate safety effectiveness MIS via...

Sacroiliac joint (SI) pain is an often-overlooked cause of lower-back pain, due in part to a lack specific findings on radiographs and symptom profile similar other back-related disorders. A minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach SI fusion using series triangular, titanium plasma spray-coated implants has shown favorable outcomes patients with refractory conservative care. The aim this study was provide multicenter experience MIS patient-level analysis.We report analysis from 144 mean 16...

Sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion is increasingly used to treat chronic SI pain. Multiple surgical approaches are now available.Data abstraction and random effects meta-analysis of safety efficacy outcomes from published patient cohorts. Patient-reported (PROs) measures were stratified by technique: transiliac, including lateral transiliac (LTI) posterolateral (PLTI), posterior interpositional (PI) procedures.Fifty-seven cohorts 2851 patients identified, 43 (2126 patients) for LTI, 6 (228 PLTI, 8...

Reoperations for spinopelvic failure after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery are common. We sought to determine the added costs of ASD attributable reoperations construct failures.We constructed a Markov process model calculate expected discounted 5-year failures surgery. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) was queried estimate number surgeries. Model inputs were based on literature review and expert opinion. defined as thoracolumbar fusion 4 or more levels with pelvic fixation....

Introduction: Surgical revision rate is a key outcome with all permanent implants. The iFuse Implant System ® implant used to perform minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion. purpose of this study determine the surgical after fusion surgery system. Methods: Using two internal sources information, surgeries were identified and linked index surgeries. likelihood was calculated using Kaplan–Meier life table approach. Predictors explored. Results: Four-year survivorship free from 96.46%....

ObjectiveBurst spinal cord stimulation (B-SCS) has been shown to reduce neuronal firing in the anterior cingulate cortex through selective modulation of medial pain pathway tract. This communicates affective component processing. The purpose this study was assess effect B-SCS on psychosocial functioning and its influence quality life.Materials MethodsEligible patients with chronic, intractable trunk, and/or lower limbs were enrolled. After a successful trial period, subjects received...

Postpartum posterior pelvic girdle pain (PPGP) affects nearly 20 % of women who experience back in the peripartum period. The sacroiliac joint is a source this 75 with persistent PPGP. A subset will fail to obtain acceptable relief from current array non-surgical treatment options. purpose study assess safety and effectiveness minimally invasive (SI) fusion chronic SI dysfunction whose began peri-partum period symptoms were recalcitrant management. sub-group analysis subjects disruption...

We examined the influence of stretching alone (SS) or combined with self-massage (SM) on maximal ankle dorsiflexion angle, voluntary contraction (MVC) torque and calf muscle activity, subcutaneous tissue thickness in 15 young (25 ± 3 years) middle-aged (45 5 adults. Participants performed two sessions stretches (3x 30-s stretches, rest): stretch after a 60-s control condition 60 s therapy balls (SM). Evaluations were before min intervention. Linear mixed effects model revealed no main effect...

Percutaneous fine-needle biopsy was used to investigate thoracic and abdominal masses in the dog cat. One hundred thirty-two cases were included study; 20 excluded from comparative study due poor cellularity or blood contamination (retrieval rate 86.8 per cent). samples (56 dogs 44 cats) classified by cytology as neoplastic. All cytological diagnoses of neoplasia confirmed histological obtained either non-surgical methods, at surgery during postmortem examination. No false positive made....

Study Design. Prospective, international, multicenter, single-arm, post-market study. Objective. The aim of this study was to assess long-term safety and effectiveness spinal cord stimulation using a passive recharge burst design for chronic intractable pain in the trunk and/or limbs. Herein we present 24-month outcomes from TRIUMPH (NCT03082261). Summary Background Data. Passive (B-SCS) uniquely mimics neuronal firing patterns nervous system has been shown modulate affective attentional...
