Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common cause of three-dimensional deformities spine. Most previous studies have been cross-sectional to estimate prevalence in general population. An age-matched, population-based study performed using nationwide databases between 2011 and 2015. The incidence rates idiopathic by age group, sex, region are identified. We also investigate pattern medical institution use surgery rate patients with scoliosis. Our results show that a total 268,372 were diagnosed...
Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) may experience neuropathic symptoms, such as back pain, radiating and neurogenic claudication. Although the long-term outcomes of both nonsurgical surgical treatments are similar, surgery provide shortterm benefits, including improved symptoms lower risk falling. Decompression is mainly used for treatment, depending on decompression degree associated instability, combination therapy be given. Minimally invasive has been demonstrated to produce...
Background: Previous reports suggest that prolonged instability of the ankle may contribute to development osteochondral lesions and eventually lead osteoarthritis. However, no studies have directly compared in ankles with chronic lateral (CLAI) those without instability. This study was performed determine characteristics resulting clinical outcomes associated talus (OLT) patients Methods: Of 420 who underwent primary arthroscopic marrow stimulation for OLT, 74 were identified as having...
The clinical and radiological results before after surgery were compared analyzed for patients with multilevel lumbar stenosis who underwent bi-portal endoscopic spine (BESS) microscopic unilateral laminotomy bilateral decompression (ULBD). We retrospectively identified 47 49 BESS ULBD, respectively, diagnosed multi-level stenosis. Clinical outcomes evaluated using the visual analog scale score both back leg pain, medication (pregabalin) use Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores overall...
Biportal endoscopic spinal surgery (BESS) for the treatment of stenosis provided favorable clinical outcomes in many studies. They reported that interlaminar BESS decompression achieved effects patients with central stenosis. However, still experienced radiating pain even after conventional decompression. Therefore, a more reliable method traversing root and lateral recess areas is necessary. Hence, we investigated to better decompress both while preserving facet joints as much possible...
Background/Objectives: This is a retrospective study. We aimed to identify an optimal biportal endoscopic spine surgery (BESS) technique that maximizes facet joint preservation while achieving sufficient decompression for central extraforaminal lumbar stenosis across all spinal levels. Methods: retrospectively analyzed the data of 46 patients who underwent and assessed clinical outcomes (visual analogue scale scores pain; pregabalin usage) radiological changes (using computed...
Objective To evaluate the prevalence of generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) in healthy female Koreans and to determine whether degree GJH differs between children adults.Two groups females were enrolled, a group girls from an elementary school (n=404) women call center (n=266). was diagnosed using Beighton score, which is composed evaluation bilateral knees, elbows, thumbs, fifth fingers as well thoracolumbar joint. The localized each compared two groups, pattern according age dominant...
Study Design. A retrospective observational study. Objective. This study investigated the clinical and radiological results of minimally invasive (MI) versus open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) in patients with single-level spondylolisthesis over a 10-year period. Summary Background Data. Few studies have compared follow-up outcomes between MI-TLIF TLIF. Methods. We retrospectively collected outcome data who underwent TLIF procedures using an MI ( n = 108) or 53) approach....
Numerous adolescents diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) often manifest symptoms indicative of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). However, the precise connection between FGIDs and AIS remains unclear. The study involved drawn from sample datasets provided by Korean Health Insurance Review Assessment Service spanning 2012 to 2016, a median dataset size 1,446,632 patients. group consisted individuals aged 10 19 diagnostic codes for AIS, while control those without...
Children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) have reduced quality of life related to poor self-image, perhaps because cosmetic concerns. However, there has not been a large-database epidemiologic study on the association between psychiatric disorders and scoliosis.Using Korean National Health Insurance database, we asked: (1) How common are among children AIS? (2) After controlling for gender, age, insurance type, residential district, more AIS than age-matched controls?A...
Falls after orthopaedic surgery can cause serious injuries, which lengthen hospital stays and increase medical expenses. This has prompted hospitals to implement various fall-prevention protocols. The aims of this study were determine the incidence in-hospital falls spine surgery, analyze overall risk factors, discern factors that have a major influence on falls, evaluate effectiveness protocol we implemented.
Retrospective cohort study.
Study Design Prospective Cohort Study. Objective Untreated pre-surgical depression may prolong post-surgical pain and hinder recovery. However, research on the impact of untreated post-spinal surgery is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to assess in patients analyze its relationship with overall outcomes. Methods We recruited 100 scheduled for lumbar spine due spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc diseases, herniated diseases. Psychiatrists evaluated them final selection. assessed Beck...
Emphysematous osteomyelitis is a rare disease caused by gas-forming bacteria. But only 45 cases have been reported in the literature since then.A 72-year-old female presented to our hospital with severe lower back pain that aggravated 4 days ago.Computed tomography (CT) revealed intraosseous mottled air T12 and L1 vertebral bodies epidural space. The enhanced T1 T2 magnetic resonance imaging scans showed heterogeneous signal intensity of bodies, suggestive emphysematous osteomyelitis.Surgery...
Surgical treatment for neuromuscular scoliosis has evolved with pedicle screw instrumentation and the improvement of perioperative management. We aimed to review recent papers related posterior surgical correction a system scoliosis, particularly cerebral palsy muscular dystrophy, in terms indication, method, outcomes. The most remarkable change was posterior-only operation all-pedicle fixations. With this change, time, blood loss, postoperative complications decreased. Furthermore, spinal...
Cefepime-induced neurotoxicity, including nonconvulsive status epilepticus, has been reported especially in patients with renal impairment.However, focal epilepticus is very rare and cefepime-induced aphasic proven by electroencephalography have never to our knowledge.We present an interesting case of mimicking acute stroke a patient treated cefepime.(
