Study Design: Prospective, randomized and controlled clinical radiological study. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the segmental kinematics outcome disc replacement with ProDisc C versus anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) for monosegmental disease 3 years after surgery. Summary Background Data: Anterior (ACDF), including plate fixation, is an accepted technique treatment symptomatic degenerative (DDD). However, various studies could show that a relative mobile spinal...
In light of an aging global population, understanding adverse events (AEs) in surgeries for older adults is crucial optimal outcomes and patient safety.
Type II odontoid fractures represent the most common cervical spine injury in elderly. The decision for surgical treatment is still controversial, particularly with regard to elevated peri-operative risk attributed frequent comorbidities and poor bone quality. purpose of this study was assess both short-term mortality mid-term clinical radiological outcome Between January 2007 December 2015, 35 patients type process who underwent posterior atlanto-axial instrumentation using a modified...
Study Design. Epidemiological study. Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate trends in the incidence spinal infections (SI) and possible role substance use disorder (SUD) as a key associated factor. Summary Background Data. SI pose major diagnostic therapeutic challenge developed countries, resulting substantial morbidity mortality. With an estimated up 1:20,000, recent clinical experiences suggest that rate may be rising. Methods. To change trend proportion SI, we searched...
Numerous authors over the years have reported that lumbar ligamentum flavum has two layers. Our routine cadaveric dissections raised question whether this understanding is correct, as we always observed only one layer. Thus, goal of study was to reevaluate layers flavum. Twenty levels from five fresh‐frozen specimens were used in study. After dissection spine, and interspinous ligament exposed. Each level transected through zygapophyseal joint, hematoxylin eosin staining, Masson's trichrome...
Study Design. . Retrospective study. Objective. To determine incidence, risk factors, complications, and early postoperative outcome in patients with intraoperative ischemic stroke during elective spine surgery. Summary of Background Data. Overall, is the fifth leading cause death United States second worldwide. It can be a catastrophic event main neurological disability adults. Methods. A retrospective review electronic medical records who underwent surgery between January 2016 November...
Study Design This is a prospective, randomized, and controlled study, approved by the local ethical committee of Saarland (Germany), no. 209/06. Objective The aim this study was to compare clinical results, segmental motility, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatibility, change bone density cervical spine segment that treated with either bioresorbable or titanium plates in single level. Summary Background Data Anterior discectomy fusion including plate fixation an accepted technique for...
Background and Objectives: In the literature, spinal navigation robot-assisted surgery improved screw placement accuracy, but majority of studies only qualitatively report on positioning within vertebra. We sought to evaluate accuracy in relation a preoperative trajectory plan by three-dimensional quantification elucidate technical benefits for lumbar pedicle screws. Materials Methods: 27 CT-navigated instrumentations degenerative disease, dedicated intraoperative 3D-trajectory was created...
Study Design Retrospective review Objectives Spinal intradural extramedullary abscess (SIEA) is a rare disease with an unknown incidence. In this study, we systematically described the clinical course of SIEA in large cohort acute onset neurological illness, assessed morbidity and mortality rates, determined potential risk factors for mortality. Methods Electronic medical records patients diagnosed at single institution period between September 2005 December 2020 were retrieved. Results Over...
Abstract Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) with pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO) is a rare illness steadily increasing incidence. However, comparative analyses of young and older patients SEA are lacking. We aimed to compare the clinical course aged 18–64 years, 65–79 ≥ 80 years undergoing surgery for SEA. Clinical imaging data were retrospectively collected from institutional database between September 2005 December 2021. Ninety-nine 45 32 enrolled. Patients presented poorer baseline...
This study compares the effectiveness of subcutaneous infiltration a local anesthetic agent (LA) versus intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA) during endoscopic carpal tunnel release.Forty-four patients suffering from severe symptoms restricting normal daily activities-such as persistent loss feeling in fingers or hand, no strength thumb spite prolonged nonsurgical treatment-and with electromyographically proven syndrome were enrolled this study. All underwent release. Twenty-two had an...
The dural venous sinuses are channels in the cranium that drain blood and cerebrospinal fluid circulating from brain into vascular system via internal jugular veins. transverse sinus is a present posterior aspect of cranium. We report an unusual variant this with presence fenestration at its proximal segment. will review discuss background potential clinical relevance anatomical variation.
Paraparesis due to oncologic lesions of the spine warrants swift neurosurgical intervention prevent permanent disability and hence maintain independence affected patients. Clinical parameters that predict a favorable outcome after surgical could aid decision-making in emergency situations.Patients who underwent for paraparesis (grade muscle strength <5 according British Medical Research Council grading system) secondary spinal neoplasms between 2006 2020 were included single-center...
Background: This ex vivo experimental study sought to compare screw planning accuracy of a self-derived deep-learning-based (DL) and commercial atlas-based (ATL) tool assess robustness towards pathologic spinal anatomy. Methods: From consecutive registry, 50 cases (256 screws in L1-L5) were randomly selected for planning. Reference manually planned by two independent raters. Additional sets created using the automatic DL ATL tools. Using Python, was compared reference 3D space calculating...
