][3] Degenerative changes including ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, facet joint and intervertebral disc bulging cause nerve compression in the vertebral canal, foramen, or lateral recess, resulting dysfunction impaired quality of life. 2,4)Several open surgical techniquesopen laminectomy with foraminotomy, partial facetectomy microscopic unilateral for bilateral decompression (ULBD), endoscopic ULBD-have been introduced, but optimal treatment method remains controversial. 3,5,6)Microscopic...
In Brief Study Design. A retrospective study examining the clinical features, management, and treatment outcome of patients with spinal tuberculosis (TB). Objective. To determine influence disease severity modality on TB. Summary Background Data. Although anti-TB chemotherapy is now mainstay for TB, it may not be applicable to all situations, especially in risk deformity, instability, progression neurologic deficit. Methods. this (1994–2003), medical records radiographic findings TB were...
Importance Genitourinary fistula is a rare complication of obstetric cerclage with limited evidence to guide prevention and management. Objective The aim the study was describe 5 new cases vesicovaginal (VVF) after evaluate existing cases, including shared features, generate hypothesis for future etiologic research. Study Design Case series scoping review. Results Five patients presented VVF symptoms placement; 4 were diagnosed during pregnancy, 1 postpartum. Two had prior cervical...
The low concentration of available calcium (Ca) in oral fluids limits the formation Ca-mediated fluoride deposits that maintain (F) after a topical F treatment. purpose this study was to examine if high Ca would increase salivary when used before rinse or dentifrice. We found pre-rinse (150 mmol/l lactate) dentifrice (0.084 g glycerolphosphate per gram dentifrice) immediately 60 s 228-ppm (12 NaF) produced 4.6x 3.6x (p < 0.05) respectively 1 h concentrations over alone. Reducing post-Ca 10...
A 24-year-old man with tuberculosis meningitis developed acute paraplegia and sensory disturbances 5 weeks after receiving conventional antituberculous therapy.Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an intradural extramedullary long segmental mass mimicking en plaque meningioma at the T2-T6 vertebrae levels.Prompt surgical decompression was performed.A histology examination of a tuberculoma.After surgery, patient showed improved motor power normal bladder function.Intradural tuberculoma spinal...
As the frequency of radiation exposure by fluoroscopy continues to increase in orthopaedic fields, level hazard for surgeon increases at same time. Exposure clinician’s hand is highest during performance surgery or procedures within actual clinics. Studies on thyroid, eye whole body, reports treatment cancer dermal lesions occurring from therapeutic intervention body such as heart and liver, studies radioactive damage hands derived material handlers have been reported; however, no a...
Surgical treatment consisting of decompression and fusion is generally known to produce good clinical results for lumbar spinal stenosis with degenerative spondylolisthesis. However, the outcome alone, without fusion, remains unclear, long-term follow-up are scarce. This study aimed retrospectively analyze 5-year only in patients spondylolisthesis.Among diagnosed as having spondylolisthesis, 36 who underwent were followed up minimum 5 years included this study. The average period was 7.2...
questionnaire contents including the courses of injury-to-treatment were studied with data gathered from surveys. Results: The average age patients was 48.4-years-old, male to female ratio 33 14. cases falling a height 22 (47%), lumbar area 19 (40%), and unstable bursting fracture 24 (51%) most. Complete incomplete paralyses (40%) 28 (60%), respectively. High dose steroids injected in 16 (NASCIS II) 9 III). 14 presented complications operations performed 46 (98%). 12 (26%) arrived at...
Study Design: A case report. Objective: We present a rare of acute spinal cord infarction and usefulness diffusion weighted MR imaging. Summary Literature Review: T1-weighted T2-weighted images are often normal in patient with infarction. Material Methods: An 82-year-old presented onset paraplegia urinary retention. His symptoms developed 6 days ago without any trauma. He had history vertebroplasty due to compression fracture 12th thoracic vertebral body years ago. There was no evidence on...
Selective cervical nerve root block is a widely utilized nonsurgical strategy for the management of radicular and axial pain. The technique has been shown to be efficacious in relieving patient’s symptoms. Although effective, there are range possible complications associated with this procedure. In particular, acute spinal cord injury after very rare, but it lead serious functional impairment. literature on small have no reports from Korea. We experienced case patient an who was followed 28 months.
Brucellosis is an endemic zoonotic disease that it rare in Korea. However, there have been regional increases its prevalence. Brucellar spondylitis difficult to diagnose because the clinical presentation often variable and nonspecific. Therefore, overlooked a differential diagnosis of back pain. A culture microbiologic study choice for diagnosing brucellar spondylitis. If treatment not properly done, can result severe complications including neurobrucellosis. Medical treatments are generally...
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality and accuracy information on Web about scoliosis. Materials Methods: Five search engines were selected key word scoliosis entered. 25 web site chosen. Each evaluated for type, quality, site. type classified as academic, commercial, physician, nonphysician. according specific content using 32 disease words. by three board certified orthopaedic surgeons. One point given when we agreed with less than 25% four points greater 75%....

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the method using coraco-clavicular (C-C) sling with modified Phemister operation by postoperative clinical results, radiologic analysis and complications. Materials Methods: 33 patients acromioclavicular joint dislocation were included in study. Thirteen treated simple C-C twenty operation. assesment radiological evaluation performed final results examined Weitzman's classification. Results: In result group, forward elevation...
For evaluation of neural injury from the thoracolumbar spine fracture, we should know type and extent injury. In case complete Spinal Cord Injury( SCI Frankel classification A), they will not only lose spinal cord function permanently distal to site, but also show probability 0~9% A D or E. But in incomplete SCI, sacral sparing some kind be recovered. The anticipation recovery depend on results neurologic examination after shock. If have motor sparing, 86% patients during first 6 month....
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the usefulness locally harvested autobone as a filling material for fusion. Materials and Methods: Retrospective was conducted 21 patients diagnosed cervical disc herniation with myelopathy or radiculopathy who underwent anterior fusion using polyetheretherketone solis cage from June 2006 September 2009, follow-up period longer than 5 years. Radiologic outcomes were evaluated by rate bone union, change intervertebral height, subsidence cage....
