Preliminary clinical trial.To determine the safety and initial efficacy of intradiscal injection autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) releasate in patients with discogenic low back pain.PRP, which is comprised growth factors cytokines, has been widely used setting for tissue regeneration repair. PRP shown vitro vivo to potentially stimulate intervertebral disc matrix metabolism.Inclusion criteria this study included chronic pain without leg more than 3 months; one or lumbar discs (L3/L4...
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a fraction of in which several growth factors are concentrated at high levels. The active soluble releasate isolated following platelet activation PRP (PRP-releasate) has been demonstrated to stimulate the metabolism IVD cells vitro. vivo effect PRP-releasate on degenerated remains unknown. purpose this study was determine reparative effects autologous intervertebral discs (IVDs). To induce disc degeneration, New Zealand white rabbits (n = 12) received anular...
A retrospective study of serum and hair metal concentrations in patients with titanium alloy spinal implants was performed.To determine the incidence possible causes abnormal concentrations.Several studies have demonstrated that debris are present tissues surrounding implants. However, few suggest metals dissolve, circulate body fluid, accumulate remote organs.Titanium, aluminum, vanadium were measured after surgery 46 (12 implant failure group 34 no group) 20 without (control group). All...
Abstract Background and PurposeAlthough many studies have described clinical examination measures for the diagnosis of lumbar spinal instability, few them investigated sensitivity specificity that were used. The authors devised a passive extension (PLE) test assessing instability. purpose this study was to investigate sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio test. Subjects Methods. PLE as well instability catch sign, painful apprehension sign tests done 122 subjects with...
BackgroundIn 2007, the Japanese orthopaedic association back pain evaluation questionnaire (JOABPEQ) wasestablished to overcome limitations of original JOA scoring system developed in 1986. Although this new selfadministered is a more accurate outcome measure for evaluating patients with low pain, physicians were unable as certain exact status patientat single time point because lack reference values.This study aimed establish values JOABPEQ different age and gender groups using data...
A prospective study of 209 patients undergoing spinal surgery.To determine the incidence venous thromboembolic diseases, including deep thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), to evaluate effectiveness an institutional protocol for diseases during surgery perioperative period.Although are at risk thromboembolism (VTE), there no universally accepted guidelines VTE prophylaxis.Between December 2006 January 2011, (121 males, 88 females; average age: 64 yr), who also had ultrasonographic...
Background: Pain has been regarded as important in the improvement of quality life (QOL). In advanced countries Europe and North America, a number large-scale epidemiological surveys on pain, particularly chronic have thus performed general populations. However, few pain reported from developing countries, no appear to examined least developed countries. Objectives: To compare incidence Asian using Japan an country, Thailand Myanmar one Study Design: Cross-sectional study 4 hospitals....
There have been several reports on the pullout strength of cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screws, but only one study has reviewed stability functional spine units using CBT method. The purpose this was to compare vertebral after fixation with that pedicle screw (PS) fixation.
Intervertebral vacuum phenomenon (IVP) often occurs in lower lumbar intervertebral spaces, however, there are no reports regarding the clinical symptoms of IVP. The purpose this study was to determine patients with IVP.The subjects enrolled were 105 consecutive who visited spine clinic our hospital between January and June 2004, diagnosed as having spinal canal stenosis. We interviewed all about degenerative disease complain of, presence or absence each symptom compared VP (+) group (-)...
Purpose. To study the prevalence of osteoarthritis, osteoporotic vertebral fractures, and spondylolisthesis among elderly residents a Japanese village to examine correlation between radiographic evidence abnormality lower back pain. Methods. 205 men (mean age, 70.7 years) 323 women 70.5 in participated this cross-sectional study. Plain lateral radiographs were taken from thoracic spine sacral spine. They evaluated by 3 independent orthopaedic surgeons for degree osteoarthritis (using Weiner...
X-ray images of lumbar degenerative diseases often show not only claw osteophytes, but also pairs osteophytes that form in a direction away from the adjacent disc. We have investigated formation anterior vertebral across vertebrae using sufficient number radiographs, because can provide essential information will contribute to understanding pathology and progress spine degeneration.The 14,250 intervertebral discs 2,850 patients who were all over 60 years old was investigated. Anterior...
A case of thoracic myelopathy with alkaptonuria (ochronotic spondyloarthropathy) is presented.To present and review the first reported an alkaptonuric patient concomitant myelopathy.Alkaptonuria, a rare hereditary metabolic disease, characterized by accumulation homogentistic acid, ochronosis, destruction connective tissue resulting in degenerative spondylosis arthritis. Despite high incidence intervertebral disc diseases among patients alkaptonuria, neurologic symptoms caused spinal disease...
Purpose. To compare percutaneous transpedicular vertebroplasty using calcium phosphate cement (CPC) versus conservative treatment for osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Methods. Eight men and 28 women aged 61 to 99 (mean, 80) years with fractures underwent CPC. During the same period, 6 32 53 93 77) treatment. The indication was a painful unstable fracture, mobility of body shown on flexion extension lateral radiographs. Fractures without despite deformity were treated conservatively....
Validity and reliability of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association Back Pain Evaluation Questionnaire (JOABPEQ) had already been verified as patients' self-rating assessment low back pain lumbar spinal disease and, present study demonstrated responsiveness this measure.192 subjects who were determined by medical instructors Society for Spine Surgery Related Research analyzed. They completed a series treatment both surveys before after treatment. Authors investigated rates concordance between...
The patient was a 48-year-old man in whom slow progression walking difficulty occurred over year. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography myelography (CTM) revealed duplicated dura mater from T1 to T12 spinal cord herniation the inner layer of at T4–T5 level. Idiopathic with diagnosed, surgery performed. Intraoperative findings were an elliptical defect about 1 cm level, into which herniated. A 1.5-cm cephalocaudal incision created dura, incarcerated released, resulting...
Many previous studies have demonstrated that driving a car is risk factor for low back pain (LBP). We frequent contact with medical representatives who often drive cars business, and noticed many of them suffer from LBP.To investigate how affected the occurrence LBP in representatives.Questionnaire survey all working Mie Prefecture (Japan).A total 551 replied (92%). divided subjects into Group A (with LBP) B (without LBP). There was no significant difference mean age, height, weight or...
An outcome measure to evaluate the neurological function of patients with cervical myelopathy was proposed by Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA score) and has been widely used in Japan. However, JOA score does not include patients' satisfaction, disability, handicaps, or general health, which can be affected myelopathy. In 2007, a new measure, Cervical Myelopathy Evaluation Questionnaire (JOACMEQ), is self-administered questionnaire, developed. influence age gender on scores fully...

To determine characteristics responsible for improvement of low back pain after cervical laminoplasty spondylotic myelopathy.18 men and 10 women aged 38 to 88 (mean, 71) years who had a visual analogue scale (VAS) score 5 or more before were included. In 12 patients the VAS improved 1 <1 surgery remained so at 2 years, but in 16 it unimproved. Patient groups compared.Preoperatively, 11 with continuous all day, compared 3 unimproved (p<0.01).In some patients, may be following laminoplasty.
