OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors anterior bone loss (ABL) in cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) and subsequent effect phenomenon. METHODS authors performed a retrospective radiological review 185 patients with minimum 5-year follow-up after CDA (using Bryan, Discocerv, Mobi-C, or Baguera C). Postoperative radiographs were examined compared initial postoperative films determine percentage ABL. relationship ABL potential analyzed. RESULTS Complete assessment...
Retrospective, longitudinal observational study.To describe the natural history of anterior bone loss (ABL) in cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) and introduce a classification system for its assessment.ABL has recently been recognized as complication CDA, but cause clinical effects remain unknown.Patients with non-keeled CDA (146) were retrospectively reviewed. X-rays examined at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 months, annually thereafter minimum 5 years. These compared initial postoperative to...
Abstract Purpose The management of cervical facet dislocation injuries remains controversial. main purpose this investigation was to identify whether a surgeon’s geographic location or years in practice influences their preferred traumatic injuries. Methods A survey sent 272 AO Spine members across all regions and with variety experience. included clinical case scenarios asked responders select preferences among various diagnostic options. Results total 189 complete responses were received....
Cement discoplasty (CD) was initially described in 2015. This novel treatment involves injecting polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) into the degenerate disc cavity. is particularly applicable to elderly patients with degeneration and collapse, where restoration of height improves lordosis sagittal balance, treating symptoms degenerative scoliosis, foraminal stenosis, adjacent segment degeneration, or flatback syndrome, who would otherwise have significant risks for major spine surgery. In all...
Intra-Discal Vacuum phenomenon (IDVP) is associated with advanced disc degeneration, representing persistent intra-segmental movement. Our objective to further characterise IDVP patterns from both MRI and CT thus informing on an otherwise poorly understood phenomenon. An observational analysis was performed, including over-60s population sample of 325 lumbar discs in 65 subjects (29 M, 36 F) low back pain +/- leg symptoms, the spine concomitant abdomen. Exclusion criteria were those...
To validate the AO Spine Subaxial Injury Classification System with participants of various experience levels, subspecialties, and geographic regions.A live webinar was organized in 2020 for validation System. The consisted 41 unique subaxial cervical spine injuries associated computed tomography scans key images. Intraobserver reproducibility interobserver reliability were calculated injury morphology, subtype, facet injury. classification system categorized as slight (ƙ = 0-0.20), fair...
Coronal balance is a major factor impacting the surgical outcomes in adult spinal deformity (ASD). The Obeid coronal malalignment (O-CM) classification has been proposed to improve alignment ASD surgery. Aim of this study was investigate whether postoperative CM < 20 mm and adherence O-CM could decrease rate mechanical failure cohort patients.
Abstract Purpose Intra-Discal Vacuum phenomenon (IDVP) is well-recognised, yet poorly visualised and understood radiological finding in disc degeneration, particularly with regard to its role spinal alignment. CT analysis of the lumbar spine an aging population aims identify patterns associated IDVP including lumbopelvic morphology diagnoses. Methods An was performed over-60s sample 2020 unrelated abdominal scans, without acute presentations. Spinal included sagittal reconstructions assess...
Cementless hemiarthroplasty in hip fracture surgery has been associated with poorer outcomes and more pain than cemented hemiarthroplasty. The aim was to investigate clinical radiographic for a cementless tapered titanium fully hydroyxapatite-coated (Corail® System) stem this consecutive cohort of patients. We retrospectively evaluated the results 68 elderly patients displaced intracapsular fractures, treated implant. Mean follow-up 4.3 years (2-6 years). One-year mortality 24%. 95% had...
Multicenter, prospective study of consecutive adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients.To evaluate back and leg pain as a combined score in ASD compare their relative cumulative correlations with health-related quality life (HRQOL) sagittal parameters.Pain disability are commonly reported patients ASD. This can affect back, legs or both. ASD-associated has been correlated numerous HRQOL scores radiological parameters.Preoperative intensity was assessed Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for...
