Differences in lumbar morphology and nerve root positioning between supine prone decubitus are poorly analyzed. This study aimed to perform a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) describe morphology, root, related structures the position, while comparing with conventional MRI, patients symptoms. The second aim was define safe working zones for surgical procedures. prospective, single-center, observational study. Fifty persistent low back and/or radicular pain that unresponsive conservative...
Increasing interest has been seen in understanding the anatomy and biomechanics involved Deep Gluteal Syndrome, therefore main objective of our paper was to define deep gluteal space concerning important osseous, muscular neurological structures.12 cadaveric models (24 hemipelvises) were used. We proceeded with classical anatomic dissection evaluated numerous musculotendinous neurologic structures their relationships. also determined femoral anteversion neck-shaft angles.We found that 15.4%...
Because most of the recognized causes superior gluteal nerve (SGN) injury are iatrogenic, detailed knowledge anatomy SGN is crucial to prevent its associated with surgical procedures. This study aims describe precise location or branches at greater sciatic foramen, measure distances these neural structures palpable bony landmarks, and evaluate possible correlation between parameters pelvis size. Twenty human cadaveric hemipelvises were studied. After dissection expose from trochanter (GT),...
Despite the recognized importance of anterolateral ligament (ALL) in rotational stability knee, some studies still deny its role and even existence. We studied prevalence ALL a Caucasian population, as well characteristics anatomical relationships.The study was performed on 20 knees from 10 embalmed cadavers. A lateral approach, described by Steven Claes, used relations with epicondyle, inferior genicular artery, meniscus, Gerdy's tubercle fibular head were recorded. Its length width also...
<h3>Background</h3> Minimally invasive lateral lumbar interbody fusion is a technique that has become increasingly popular for the treatment of degenerative spine disease; however, pertinent surgical vascular anatomy not been examined in detail. The goal this study to examine lower and median sacral arteries, which are important determinants these outcomes. <h3>Methods</h3> This an observational, experimental based on cadaveric models, including 20 embalmed adult human cadavers. following...
To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of surgical treatment in patients diagnosed with odontoid fracture who underwent open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) screws.This was a retrospective study nine patients. Pain (visual analog scale [VAS]) neurological status (Frankel scale) were assessed. The neck disability index (NDI) post-operative cervical range motion calculated. spine radiologically evaluated (X-ray CT) pre- postoperatively.The mean age 70 years. All presented type...
OBJECTIVE: To report the difficulties in managing a case of os odontoideum. METHODS: Female patient, 12 years old who developed quadiparesis after minor cervical trauma October 2005. In emergency department congenital anomaly was identified. The patient placed Stryker® frame and, few days later, halo bracing. After 3 months, an infection around pins emerged and vest had to be removed. A severe C1-2 instability persisted C1-C2 Gallie procedure attempted. following weeks bone disappeared...
Case: We present a case of azole and partial caspofungin-resistant Candida albicans spondylodiscitis, after bariatric surgery with bowel perforation. Treatment included debridement several months anidulafungin, complemented antibacterial therapy because relapse for bacterial superinfection. After treatment, the infection did not recur clinically or radiologically during one half years follow-up. Conclusion: Although C. spondylodiscitis is rare, fungi should be suspected as causative agent....
Avaliar os resultados clínicos e radiológicos do tratamento cirúrgico em pacientes com diagnóstico de fratura processo odontoide submetidos a redução aberta fixação interna (RAFI) parafusos. Estudo retrospectivo nove pacientes. Avaliada dor (escala visual analógica [EVA]) o estado neurológico Frankel). O Neck Disability Index (NDI) amplitude movimento cervical pós‐operatória foram calculados. A coluna foi avaliada radiologicamente (raios X TC) nos períodos pré‐ pós‐operatório. idade média...

Métodos Estudo coorte retrospectiva, incluindo pediátricos diagnóstico instrumentação fusão vertebral posterior um hospital universitário. As características dos foram coletadas no sistema informações hospital. Resultados Um total 39 incluídos estudo. perdas sanguíneas...
Periprosthetic hip fractures show increasing incidence and complexity, representing a challenge for the surgeon. We aimed to evaluate survival of uncemented modular tapered stems in treatment periprosthetic Vancouver B2 B3 type review main complications factors associated with decreased survival.
Introduction The fifth metacarpal neck fracture is a common injury, and the treatment of such injuries still matter debate. It typically presents in young adults working age, it represents significant burden for both health services patient. purpose this study was to compare results operative conservative fracture. Materials methods A retrospective 60 patients with conducted. sample divided into two groups: treated operatively non-operatively. mean angulation different groups compared using...

Abstract Background Climate change is an urgent public health crisis that significantly impacts disease development and outcomes. The 2022 Lancet Countdown Report revealed healthcare contributes with 5.2% of global emissions, prompting a call for environmentally conscious approaches. In this context, we explored the environmental impact different ajmaline challenge protocols, aiming to contribute more sustainable medical landscape. Purpose This study aims compare carbon footprint two...
Osteoblastoma is a rare benign primary bone tumor. It accounts for 3% of and 1% all tumors. The treatment goal complete surgical resection. This limits the risk recurrence. As osteoblastoma highly vascular tumor, resection often difficult. report describes case 19-year-old male patient who presented severe right-sided neck shoulder pain. computed tomography scan revealed mass lesion on C7 compatible with osteoblastoma. Preoperative embolization tumor were performed. At 3-year follow-up, had...
Primary Ewing sarcoma in the spine is very rare, and treatment for it multidisciplinary. There no consensus regarding optimal method of local control; however, en bloc resection associated with an improvement survival rates. The authors report a case 5-year-old girl who initially presented low back pain, was diagnosed after being submitted to imaging studies by radiography, magnetic resonance bone biopsy. A spondylectomy performed accordance Euro protocol. At three-year follow-up, patient...
