In appropriate situations, extensive decompression with laminectomy often continues to be described as the method of choice for operations involving lumbar zygoapophyseal joint (z-joint) cysts. Tissue-sparing procedures are nevertheless becoming more common. Endoscopic techniques have become standard in many areas because advantages they offer terms surgical technique and rehabilitation. One key aspect spinal surgery was development instruments sufficient bone resection carried out under...
Medical students' attitudes and expectations about their future working life are changing. To hire the best talents from Generation Y, hospitals must pay attention to these factors make in patient care more attractive. However, little detailed knowledge professional career of today's medical students is available date.In a nationwide online survey, total 9079 all German faculties returned questionnaire. Twenty-one questions related choices work satisfaction, followed by 21 dealing with...
Musculoskeletal diseases and symptoms are very common in the general population. They lead to high healthcare costs pose a significant burden national economy.Based on data from population-based German National Cohort (GNC), frequencies of musculoskeletal reported, including back pain, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, arthritis.Data were collected March 2014 2017 adults aged 20-75 years during first half baseline survey GNC. The sample comprised 101,779 interviewed subjects, 9370 subjects who...
Background and purpose — The neck–shaft angle (NSA) is valuable for diagnostics therapy of the hip, but current reference values derive mostly from studies on anatomic specimens, small cohorts, or are hospital-based. Moreover, associated factors such as age, sex, anthropometric data have rarely been considered. Therefore, we determined NSA reassessed historical in a general adult population. Methods NSAs both sides 3,226 volunteers population-based Study Health Pomerania (SHIP) were measured...
Some etiological factors involved in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) occur last trimester pregnancy, which could result a decreased incidence DDH preterm infants. The aim this study was to compare between and term Ultrasound joint performed 2,534 infants 376 within population-based Survey Neonates Pomerania (SNiP) study. A total 42 (1.66%) had (Graf type II c, 0.8%; D, 0.3% left 0.4% right; III a, 0.2% left). Eighteen bilateral findings. Hip occurred more frequently female neonates...
Population-based cohort study.We examined associations between common lumbar degenerative changes observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and present or future low back pain (LBP).The association MRI findings LBP is unclear. Longitudinal studies are sparse.Participants (n = 3369) from a population-based study were imaged at entry, with status measured baseline 6-year follow-up. scans reported for the presence of range findings. was 0 to 10 scale. Regression models used estimate...
Abstract Background The available evidence regarding normal ranges for the center-edge angle and alpha derives from a few small studies, associated factors such as sex anthropometric have not been well evaluated. Knowing more about values these parameters is critical, because this can inform decisions when to perform elective hip preservation surgery. Population-level studies would provide considerable clarity on issues, but our knowledge, no are available. Questions/purposes purposes of...
The study was conducted to examine the expression of collagen type I and II in different cartilage layers relation other ECM molecules during progression early osteoarthritic degeneration human articular (AC). Quantitative real-time (RT)-PCR colorimetrical techniques were used for calibration Photoshop-based image analysis detecting such lesions. Immunohistochemistry histology performed with 40 tissue samples showing mild (ICRS grade 1b) respectively moderate/advanced 3a or 3b) (20 each)...
Background The most common intermediate and long-term complications of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) include aseptic septic failure prosthetic joints. These cause suffering, their management is expensive. In the future number revision TKA will increase, which involves a greater financial burden. Little concrete data about direct costs for two-stage revisions with an in depth-analysis explantation implantation available. Questions/Purposes A retrospective consecutive analysis major partial...
The number of septic total hip arthroplasty (THA) revisions is increasing continuously, placing a growing financial burden on hospitals. Orthopedic departments performing THA have no basis for decision making regarding resource allocation as the costs this procedure are unknown. It widely assumed that procedures can only be performed at loss department. Therefore, purpose study was to investigate whether assumption true by detailed analysis and revenues two-stage revision. Patients who...
Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a common complication with disabling effect for young patients after high-dose corticosteroid treatment. We could show that steroids have vasoconstrictive on lateral epiphyseal arteries which lead to ischemia and subsequent necrosis. In this study we investigated preventive nitrate patch steroid-related bone in rabbit model. New Zealand White rabbits (male; 3-4.5 kg bodyweight) were injected 20 mg/kg bodyweight methylprednisolone (GC group; n = 6)....
We assessed volume following nucleoplasty disc decompression in lower lumbar spines from cadaveric pigs using 7.1Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).To investigate coblation-induced reductions as a possible mechanism underlying nucleoplasty.We nucleoplastic pig 7.1-Tesla MRI. Volumetry was performed discs of 21 postmortem pigs. A preoperative image data set obtained, determined, and either or placebo therapy randomized manner. Group 1 (nucleoplasty group) treated according to the usual...
Background Benign osseous lesions of the spine are common but precise population prevalence estimates lacking. Our study aimed to provide first population-based and examine association with back neck pain. Materials methods We used data from Study Health in Pomerania (SHIP). Whole-body MRI examinations (1.5 Tesla: T1, T2, TIRM weightings) were available 3,259 participants. Readings spinal images conducted according a standardized protocol by single reader (JS). The intra-rater reliability...
Technical developments for improving the safety and accuracy of pedicle screw placement play an increasingly important role in spine surgery. In addition to standard techniques free-hand fluoroscopic navigation, rate complications is reduced by 3D fluoroscopy, cone-beam CT, intraoperative CT/MRI, various other navigation techniques. Another aspect that should be emphasized reduction radiation exposure personnel patient. The aim this study was investigate a new system based on electromagnetic...
To evaluate changes in nucleus pulposus volume as a potential parameter for the effects of disc decompression.Fifty-two discs (T8 to L1) were extracted from 26 pigs and separated into thoracic T11) thoracolumbar (T12 L1). The imaged using 7.1 Tesla ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with acquisition axial T2-weighted turbo spin-echo sequences determination baseline postinterventional volumes. Volumes calculated OsiriX® (http://www.osirix-viewer.com). After randomization, one...
Introduction. Posterior stabilization of the spine is a standard procedure in spinal surgery. In addition to techniques, several new techniques have been developed. The objective this cadaveric study was examine accuracy electromagnetic navigation system for instrumentation pedicle screws spine. Material and Method. Forty-eight were inserted thoracic human cadavers using EMF instruments developed especially navigation. screw position assessed postoperatively by CT scan. Results. classified...
The general shortage of medical doctors in Germany can also be felt the area trauma and orthopaedics. Medical elective placements, known as "Famulatur", are sensitive interfaces between theoretical university studies practical workplace. In this research project, aim was to study how students perceive these types placements if it alters their decision making when planning further career.During summer term 2012, 9079 answered an online questionnaire. Of these, subgroup evaluated that had a...
