AbstractBackground Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root is compressed in the spine, if symptoms fail to resolve after 6 weeks surgery may be indicated. Anterior Discectomy (ACD) commonest procedure, Posterior Foraminotomy (PCF) an alternative that avoids risk of damage anterior neck structures. This prospective, Phase III, UK multicentre, open, individually randomised controlled trial was performed determine whether PCF superior ACD terms improving clinical outcome as measured by...
The authors present a case of anterior sacral meningocoele demonstrating clinical picture cauda equina syndrome. To the best our knowledge, such presentation has not yet been reported.
Posterior cervical foraminotomy and anterior discectomy are routinely used operations to treat brachialgia, although definitive evidence supporting superiority of either is lacking.
The abstract is your calling card to the world of scientific research. Senthil K Selvanathan and coauthors explain what you need do get message across in a non-abstract way
It9s a skill that most of us will need at some point, and it doesn9t have to be painful, say Rebecca D Udani colleagues. They guide through the process
Pyogenic subdural spinal collections are rare but an important pathology to recognise and manage appropriately.We report the case of a 56-year-old female who developed posterior collection associated with local discitis.There was no direct communication between infected disc space, located posteriorly within space which makes this all more unusual.We discuss need for be considered as differential in patients back pain lower limb neurology (especially when there is known infective focus),...
The two leading techniques in the UK utilised posterior decompression of cervical spinal cord for spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) are skip laminectomy (Skip LAMT) and open (LAMT). To authors' knowledge no studies have directly compared effectiveness versus laminectomy. This study assessed differences neck disability index, sagittal alignment re-operation rates between both treatment options. A retrospective single institution cohort was performed. Subjects underwent skip- or 2008 2016. Patients...
Introduction The surgical management of cervical brachialgia utilizing anterior discectomy (ACD) and posterior foraminotomy (PCF) is a controversial area spine surgery. Few studies have compared the effectiveness both interventions. These were however flawed by utilization nonvalidated outcome measures, nonstatistical analysis, importantly lack preoperative analysis to ensure groups matched. Taking this into account, authors aimed compare interventions using validated measures. It will be...
Introduction: Nail-gun use is widespread, and there are numerous reports of nail-gun injuries fatalities. The majority previous have described musculoskeletal injury, but penetrating craniocerebral also been reported. extraction a foreign body with both intracranial extracranial extensions remains contentious.
Introduction: Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2) occurs secondary to mutations the NF2 tumor-suppressor gene, predisposing carriers develop nervous system tumors. However, despite different types of mutations, phenotypic changes in can only occur via 1 routes: lost/reduced protein function or gained (abnormally behaving mutant allele, i.e., truncated potentially causing dominant negative effect).
