In the current aging society, there has been a marked increase in incidence of cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) without major bone injury. This multi-center study aimed to identify predictors neurological improvement elderly patients with CSCI The participants were 591 aged ≥65 years and minimum follow-up period three months. Neurologic status was defined using American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale (AIS). Univariate multi-variate analyses performed prognostic factors...
Abstract Background Several authors have reported favorable results in low back pain (LBP) for patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) treated discectomy. However, detailed changes over time the characteristics and location of LBP before after discectomy LDH remain unclear. To clarify these points, we conducted an observational study to determine LDH, using a visual analog scale (VAS) bilaterally. Methods We included 65 by this study. A VAS was administered patient under 3 different...
Although traumatic cervical spine injuries in older adults are commonly caused by minor traumas, such as ground-level falls, their prognosis is often unfavorable. Studies examining the clinical characteristics of according to external cause injury lacking. This study included 1512 patients ≥ 65 years age with registered a Japanese nationwide multicenter database. The relationship between causes and characteristics, well factors causing unfavorable outcomes at were retrospectively reviewed...
Background Massive blood loss is a major complication of posterior instrumented thoracolumbar surgery for adult spinal deformities. The use flowable and absorbable hemostatic products, such as SURGIFLO® Hemostatic Matrix (SURGIFLO; ETHICON, Inc., Raritan, NJ, US), has become feasible surgery. Hence, retrospective observational study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy SURGIFLO during an deformity. Methods This analysis included 36 consecutive patients who underwent deformity at our...
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence curable and pseudoarthrosis stages adolescent lumbar spondylolysis under high school students complaining seeking medical consultation for low back pain.
Study Design Retrospective multicenter study Objectives To investigate changes over a 10-years period in the profile of cervical spine and spinal cord injuries among elderly Japan. Methods The current was retrospective analysis inpatients aged ≥65 years, suffering fracture (CF) and/or injury (CSCI). We analyzed 1413 patients’ epidemiology (from 2010 to 2019). Moreover, 727 patients who underwent surgical treatment were 2 groups: early (2010-2014) late (2015-2019). Results Both number showed...
Objective: Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma is rare and therefore difficult to diagnose. This study evaluated the clinical features of this condition in patients admitted our hospital. Patients Methods: We 12 with spontaneous who were treated at investigated following variables these patients: underlying diseases, medications used, initial symptoms, level affected, whether transported hospital by ambulance, department where first evaluated, mass lesion on computed tomography soft tissue...
Abstract This retrospective cohort study established malnutrition’s impact on mortality and neurological recovery of older patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). It included aged ≥ 65 years traumatic SCI treated conservatively or surgically. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index was calculated to assess nutritional-related risk. Overall, 789 (mean follow-up: 20.1 months) were examined 47 had major risks admission. One-year rate, median survival time, recovery, activities daily...
Retrospective Cohort Study.The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognosis respiratory function in elderly patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and identify predictive factors.We included 1353 cases SCI collected from 78 institutions Japan. Patients who required early tracheostomy ventilator management those developed complications were defined as disability group. Patients' background characteristics, mechanism, form, neurological disability, complications, treatment...
Abstract This study aimed to investigate whether fat infiltration in lumbar paravertebral muscles assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be related dynamic sagittal spino-pelvic balance during gait adult spinal deformity (ASD). is a retrospective analysis of 28 patients with ASD. The rate erector spinae muscles, multifidus and psoas major was measured T2 weighted axial MRI at L1-2 L4-5. Dynamic pelvic angles were evaluated using 3D motion analysis. correlation between those...
Spinal alignment in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) changes between rest and during gait. However, it remains unclear at which point the compensated walking posture breaks down how muscles respond. This study used time-synchronized electromyography (EMG) to investigate relationship dynamic muscle activity maximum duration reveal compensation mechanisms.This collected preoperative three-dimensional gait analysis data from who were candidates for corrective surgery ASD April 2015...
For older patients with decreased reserve function, traumatic cervical spine injuries frequently lead to early mortality. However, the prognostic factors for mortality remain unclear. This study included aged ≥65 years and hospitalized treatment of in 78 hospitals between 2010 2020. Early was defined as death within 90 days after injury. We evaluated relationship following factors: age, sex, body mass index, history drinking smoking, injury mechanisms, presence a fracture dislocation,...
Background: Lumbar spondylolysis is a common fatigue fracture of the pars interarticularis lamina lumbar spine in adolescent athletes presenting with clefts. Some pseudarthrotic causes low back pain or radiculopathy. This study presents case that was successfully treated using modified smiley face rod technique.
We report on a 2-month-old girl whose parents are first cousins. The patient has severe craniofacial anomalies characterized by: encephalocele, hypertelorism, midface hypoplasia, hypoplasia of frontal bone the left side, malformed eye, absent inner eyelashes, irregular S-shaped palpebral fissures, deformed nostrils, hypoplastic right nasal wing and cleft lip, clefts premaxilla, palate uvula. No other malformations were observed. This association suggests diagnosis frontofacionasal dysplasia....
Abstract Background If bone union is expected, conservative treatment generally selected for lumbar spondylolysis. However, sometimes treatments are unsuccessful. We sought to determine the factors associated with failure of bony in acute unilateral spondylolysis marrow edema including contralateral pseudarthrosis. Methods This study targeted treated conservatively high school or younger students. Conservative therapy was continued until disappeared on MRI and investigated by CT. conducted a...
Nutritional screening scores, including Controlling Status (CONUT) Score and Surgical Apgar (SAS), which reflect intraoperative hemodynamics, have been reported to be useful for predicting major postoperative complications in various kinds of surgery. We assessed independent risk factors after cervical spine surgery using those scoring measurements. retrospectively reviewed medical records patients who underwent at our institution from 2014 2019. Baseline clinical information, the CONUT...
Severe spinal deformity is a risk factor for proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) in surgery adult (ASD). However, standing X-ray imaging patients with dynamic imbalance can underestimate the of PJK because compensation mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate whether preoperative alignment be predictive PJK.We retrospectively included 27 ASD undergoing three-dimensional (3D) gait analysis before surgery. Dynamic parameters were obtained using Nexus motion capture system (Vicon, Oxford,...
Abstract Three types of sacral alar fatigue fractures are elderly, postnatal, and sport-related. They most prevalent in athletes during adulthood; there few reports young athletes. The purpose this study was to analyze adolescent Of the 920 patients hospitalized with low back pain, 13 were diagnosed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities. We investigated age, sex, sports discipline, span from symptom onset consultation, laterality, complication spondylolysis, computed tomography (CT)...
Abstract Although the incidence of cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) with ossification posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) has increased in older adults, its etiology and neurological outcomes remain unknown. We identified OPLL characteristics determined whether they influence severity improvement CSCI patients. This multicenter retrospective cohort study 1512 patients aged ≥ 65 years diagnosed on admission during 2010–2020. analyzed performed propensity score-adjusted analyses to...
