Deformity of the spinal column after trauma could lead to pain, impaired function, and may sometimes necessitate extensive high-risk surgery. This 'condition' has multiple terms definitions that are used in research clinics. A specific term definition this condition however is still lacking. uniform internationally accepted necessary compare cases treatments future. Reach consensus on deformity spine using a Delphi approach. An 'all-rounds invitation' process was study among group...
Study Design: Survey among spine experts. Objective: To investigate the different views and opinions of clinically relevant spinal post-traumatic deformity (SPTD). Summary Background Data: There is no clear definition SPTD. This leads to a wide variation in characteristics used for diagnosis treatment indications understand current concepts SPTD survey was conducted trauma surgeons. Methods: Members AO Spine Knowledge Forum Trauma participated an online survey. The divided 4 domains:...
Patients with complete traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) have a low potential to recover ambulation. Motor level recovery, adjacent the of injury, could influence functional independency. This study addresses whether surgical timing influences motor recovery in patients (American Spinal Injury Association [ASIA] Impairment Scale A [AIS A]) and incomplete (AIS B) tSCI. retrospective cohort was performed Netherlands AIS A/B tSCI (C2-L2), who consecutively underwent surgery between January...
Abstract Purpose In management of traumatic thoracolumbar burst fractures, short-segment pedicle screw fixation with balloon-assisted endplate reduction (BAER) and cement injection is a safe, feasible, effective technique to maintain radiological alignment minimum spinal segments involved. However, 20% patients report daily discomfort despite good fusion after this technique. This study provides clinical, radiological, patient-reported outcomes 13 years follow-up. Methods Eighteen were...
Cross-sectional validation study.The aim was to validate the AO Spine Patient-Reported Outcome Trauma (PROST) at a minimum of 12 months posttrauma and evaluate patient characteristics, types spine fractures, treatment strategies as determinants PROST scores.The reliability validity measure health-related quality life for more than after onset trauma is unclear.Patients with traumatic injury were recruited from level-1 center. They asked complete PROST, EuroQoL 5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L), either...
Survey of cases.To evaluate the opinion experts in diagnostic process clinically relevant Spinal Post-traumatic Deformity (SPTD).SPTD is a potential complication spine trauma that can cause decreased function and quality life impairment. The question when SPTD becomes yet to be resolved.The survey 7 cases was sent 31 experts. case presentation medical history, assessment, evaluation diagnosis, treatment options. Means, ranges, percentages participants, descriptive statistics were...
