One hundred and seventy-nine of the compensation patients in this study who had one low-back operation to have repeat back surgery. three Workmen's Compensation Board were reoperated on by a number surgeons Toronto area independently reviewed with two years follow-up. Many residual pain, limited lumbar movement, presisting nerve-root deficits, psychological disturbances. Forty per cent second operations successful. Subsequent yielded progressively poorer results made more worse than better....
Forty-four patients who had fifty-two calcaneal fractures were managed with open reduction and internal fixation. The results reviewed retrospectively, between four fourteen years after the operation, use of an evaluation system for hindfoot plain radiographs. characteristics that associated unsatisfactory outcome age more than fifty years, a greater body weight, work involving strenuous labor, increased time missed from due to injury. Other prognostic variables result included subtalar...
Objectives: To establish a laboratory model of implant cutout, which can evaluate the effect design on cutout resistance in clinically realistic "worst case" scenario. Setting: Orthopaedic biomechanics laboratory. Design: Implant was simulated an unstable pertrochanteric fracture model, accounted for dynamic loading, osteoporotic bone, and defined offset. For characterization, lag screw human cadaveric specimens polyurethane foam surrogates. Subsequently, surrogates were used to determine...
Prospective inception cohort study.To develop a prognostic model that predicts time receiving workers' compensation benefits for low back pain claimants.As the cost and difficulty of managing escalate, any predictor outcome is advantageous.To obtain variables, patient data from two separate databases were linked: clinical database an administrative (Ontario compensation) database. Claimants injured between January 1 December 31, 1994, included observed year date accident. The variable was...
Background and Purpose. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between nonorganic signs (Waddell scores) patients with low back pain, their response repetitive end-range lumbar spine test movements (centralization symptoms), rate return work at a 6-month follow-up. Subjects. Patients were assessed five locations Canadian Back Institute. A consecutive sample 126 or without referred leg selected reviewed. Methods. Physical therapists patients' responses (centralization), as...
Longitudinal analysis of prospectively collected data.Investigate potential predictors poor outcome following surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).LSS is the most common reason an older person to undergo surgery, yet little information available inform patient selection.We recruited LSS surgical candidates from 13 orthopedic and neurological centers. Potential included demographic, health, clinical, surgery-related variables. Outcome measures were leg back numeric pain...
BACKGROUND: Patient satisfaction is an important indicator used to monitor quality of care and outcomes after spine surgery. OBJECTIVE: To examine the complex relationship between preoperative expectations, fulfillment postsurgical outcomes, METHODS: In this national study patients undergoing elective surgery for degenerative spinal conditions from Canadian Spine Outcomes Research Network Registry, we logistic regression relationships patient with (1-5 scale), expectation score (0 = none 100...
Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction in adults. While surgical intervention widely recognized as primary treatment to halt disease progression and improve neurological function, its effectiveness alleviating neck pain remains poorly understood. The aims this study were identify DCM patients that presented with severe compare their baseline characteristics outcomes those who less pain. This a prospective, multicenter observational cohort...
This prospective study of intertester reliability examined pairs therapists' ability to agree independently on a patient's low back pain diagnosis.To determine the classification system among experienced and novice clinicians.Many disparate categorization schemes for patients with are purely nominal, assigning designations based presumptive source problem without providing any practical guide rehabilitation. A useful scheme reliably groups into treatment-directing categories.The included 204...
Objective To determine the frequency and characteristics of low back pain (LBP) recurrences. The research questions were as follows: (1) Are LBP recurrences common? (2) Do episodes worsen with multiple recurrences? (3) Does change location in any recognizable pattern during an episode? Design Single‐page self‐administered questionnaire. Setting Thirty clinical practices (primary care, physical therapy, chiropractic, surgical spine) North America Europe. Patients A convenience sample 589...
Study Design. Retrospective cohort study. Objective. To identify patient or procedure related predictors of postoperative blood transfusions in posterior lumbar fusion (PSF). Summary Background Data. The rate PSF surgery has increased significantly. It remains the most common surgical used to stabilize spine; however, impact loss requiring a significant concern. Methods. Analysis data from Canadian Spine Outcomes and Research Network. Patients who underwent between 2008 2015 were identified....
In BriefThe time course required for the patient-reported outcomes of pain, physical function, and mental health to reach a recovery plateau after elective lumbar spine surgery was assessed utilizing prospectively maintained multicenter registry. The work is important as it demonstrates that specific dimensions follow different plateaus provides evidence 2-year postoperative follow-up not accurately assess treatment effect established surgeries spinal pathologies.
