Evaluation of sagittal balance parameters is a standard assessment before spine surgery. However, these can change during walking. We aimed to describe the behavior spino-pelvic walking in healthy subjects.Analyses were performed 60 subjects. Static spinal assessed. gait analysis and we used SMART-DX 500® analyze at defining dynamic balance, including pelvic tilt angle (PTA), trunk shift (STS), (TA). considered rotational obliquity movements pelvis, flexo-extension hip, trunk, knees....
Spinal infections are rare (their incidence is estimated in about the 5% of all osteomyelitis) and severe pathologies. They usually identified with different names, as disk space infection, spondylodiscitis, vertebral osteomyelitis. Spondylodiscitis most frequent among spinal infections. The etiology might be due to bacteria, fungi, parasites affect many anatomical structures. reported increased last years.[[1] [2]] disease can classified according involved structure:
Abstract Background This study assessed the international variation in surgical neuro-oncology practice and 30-day outcomes of patients who had surgery for an intracranial tumor during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods We prospectively included adults aged ≥18 years underwent a malignant or benign across 55 hospitals from 26 countries. Each participating hospital recorded cases 3 consecutive months start categorized patients’ location by World Bank income groups (high [HIC], upper-middle [UMIC],...
Anderson type II odontoid fractures are severe conditions, mostly affecting elderly people (≥ 70 years old). Surgery can be performed as a primary treatment or in cases of failed conservative management. This study aimed to investigate how duration from injury surgery, well clinical, radiological, and surgical risk factors, may influence the union rate after anterior screw placement for fractures.
Abstract Background One important problem in treatment of ruptured brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) is surgical timing. The aim the study was to understand which parameters affect timing and outcomes most. Materials Methods Between January 2010 December 2018, 25 patients underwent surgery for a bAVM at our institute. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) score used evaluate severity, while Spetzler-Martin scale AVM architecture. We divided two groups: “early surgery” “delayed surgery.”...
Spontaneous spinal infections (SSIs) represent a rare and serious pathological entity. We tried to study correlation between type of treatment, timing treatment clinical outcome through multivariate analysis an observational cohort with the aim define what is optimal clinico-therapeutic management.We performed retrospective on all consecutive patients observed in our Institute period 13 years; from 2001 2014 we enrolled 50 symptomatic spontaneous (no previous surgery or recent infection...
In this retrospective study, we analyzed 105 cases of ruptured MCAAs, admitted from January 2001 to December 2015 at Neurosurgical Department Umberto I University Hospital Rome, Italy. Predictive factors evaluated are: patient’s features (age, sex, co-morbidities), aneurysmal location (proximal, bifurcation or distal) and size dome (small, large giant); surgical timing (ultra-early, early, delayed), Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) volume. For each parameter calculated mean standard deviation,...
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) represents only 0.08% of all primary bone tumors and 0.1% malignant rarely occurs in the spine. We present case a 56-year-old woman with long term recurrence (11 years) spinal SFT involving T8 vertebral body. performed total resection lesion fusion T6-T11 titanium mesh placement pedicle screws T6-T7 T10-T11 connected by rods. Microscopic examination confirmed WHO grade II solitary tumor. is known for late but common uncertain behaviour. Gold standard treatment...
We present a case of untreated type II odontoid fracture, which evolved in severe dislocation 18 months later. Delayed dislocations fractures are already reported literature. The singularity our is that CT-scan showed signs fusion the right C1-C2 articulation, could have required more complex surgical procedure to realign upper cervical spine. Surprisingly, CT scan performed extension position complete mobility C1 and allowed us perform one stage posterior fixation. want highline both...
