Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) are a common anomaly in 7–36% of the population. LSTV can contribute to mechanical low back pain and increase risk early degeneration cranial segments due hypermobility stress. This study analyzed sagittal balance young symptomatic patients tried identify compensatory mechanisms that may explain degeneration. Nineteen skeletally mature subjects with were retrospectively identified. Imaging included standing biplanar spine radiographs supine lumbar...
Study Design An in vitro biomechanical comparison of 2 fusion techniques, anterior lumbar interbody (ALIF) and transforaminal (TLIF), on cadaveric human spines. Objective To compare the immediate construct stability, terms range motion (ROM) neutral zone, ALIF, including separate approaches, TLIF procedures with posterior titanium rod fixation. Summary Background Data Both ALIF have been used to treat chronic low back pain instability. In many cases, choice between these techniques is based...
Study Design Biomechanical study. Objective To test 2 different intervertebral positions of a semilunar cage and their effects on 3-dimensional stability segmental lordosis in model transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). Summary Background Data In his original TLIF description, Harms recommended decortication endplates, followed by placement mesh cages the middle-posterior third. Subsequent studies presented conflicting recommendations: anterior spacer-cage for better load-sharing...
There is few medical literature regarding factors associated with remission after surgical and treatment of postoperative spine infections.Single-centre case-control study 2007-2014. Cluster-controlled Cox regression model emphasis on antibiotic-related parameters.Overall, we found 66 episodes in 48 patients (49 metalwork) who had a median follow-up 2.6 years (range, 0.5 to 6.8 years). The two debridements. duration antibiotic therapy was 8 weeks, which 2 weeks parenteral. Clinical...
A six-year-old girl sustained a Monteggia type-I equivalent fracture of the right forearm. We describe method treatment this rare and its outcome.
Abstract Purpose Prospective pre-operative and post-operative comparative analysis of radiographic spino-pelvic parameters between sitting versus standing positions patients with LS fusion, to detect adaptation mechanisms around fused spinal segments. Methods Sixteen aged 53.9 ± 15.9 who underwent fusion L3 S1 were extracted from the database an ongoing prospective study. Different evaluated on full spine X-rays, standing, then straight. Parameters compared post-operative, X-rays. Results...
Object Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a popular technique for treating chronic low-back pain. In cases of nonfusion, revision techniques TLIF include anterior (ALIF) approaches. Biomechanical data the are not available. The purpose this study was to compare immediate construct stability, in terms range motion (ROM) and neutral zone (NZ), ALIF procedure an unsuccessful TLIF. An vitro biomechanical comparison its conducted on cadaveric nonosteoporotic human spine segments....
