Volunteers a history operation, spinal disease, pain their back or legs, scoliosis,...

A retrospective consecutive case series.To illustrate a new surgical technique for closing osteotomies in fixed sagittal imbalance patients, and to evaluate the radiographic outcomes complications.During an osteotomy site closure, various techniques were used, most of which involve patient positioning, rod cantilevering, extending fixation points, allowing less correction, compressing through pedicle points. Most these place added stress on spinal screw may lead loosening eventual failure....

Critical limb ischemia has been identified as a risk factor for the incidence of postoperative delirium in elderly patients. Limb amputation is last option critical treatments. We investigated and predisposing factors patients undergoing major leg amputation.From January 2012 to December 2016, 121 aged over 60 years who had undergone were enrolled this study. Various related patients' outcomes assessed, including demographic, preoperative laboratory, anesthetic, surgical, indicators.Twenty...

Retrospective observational study.This study aimed to investigate the impact of plating on postoperative serial segmental motion and its correlation with clinical outcomes in single-level anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) for up 1 year.The advantages disadvantages using ACDF have been well discussed; however, few studies compared early motions at level between non-plating.In retrospectively collected data, 149 patients who underwent degenerative disease were enrolled divided into...

Postaxial polydactyly of the foot is one most common congenital malformations. Only a few cases postaxial with partial duplication fifth metatarsal without supernumerary digit have been reported, and both heads were united to form joint proximal phalanx in all those cases. We present rare case characterized by dual an extra bud, digit.

† Study Design: This is a prospective radiographic study. Objectives: We wanted to describe and quantify the common variations in sagittal lumbar spine. Summary of Literature Review: No previous study spinopelvic parameters with large cohort asymptomatic young men was performed on subjects same ethnic background. Materials Methods: 166 males without disease, trauma or history operation spine lower extremities were included. The standing radiographs whole 36 inch film taken. distances from...

Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.To evaluate the natural progression segmental kyphosis in thoracic and thoracolumbar spine with advancing age.To our knowledge, evolution (TK) individuals aged >50 years has not been reported.Total 179 normal, asymptomatic Korean men were divided to three groups (6th, 7th, 8th decade) according their age. Standard sagittal spinopelvic parameters, including TK kyphosis, measured subdivided into following four segments: A (C7 upper end...

Despite its high incidence rate, vertebral fragility fracture (VFF) is frequently underdiagnosed due to the absence of marked symptoms. This study evaluated diagnostic accuracy our suggested physical examinations and compared them with that plain radiographs. Patients over 65 years age sudden back pain within preceding 3 weeks were enrolled. Physical in three different positions a closed-fist percussion test performed, presence VFF was through confirmatory radiographic tools. We assessed...

척추와 골반의 시상면상 지표들은 분절 간 또는 구역 서로 상 관 관계를 가지면서 전체적으로 균형 잡힌 정렬을 이루어야 한 다. 이들 지표들 중 흉추에 대한 해부학적 이해는 흉 요추부 질환의 수술 및 비수술적 치료 시 시상면상의 균형을 맞 추고 근위 고정 분절의 결정을 하는 등에 있어서 필수적인 요소 이다. 척추의 요추 전만과 달리 흉추 후만은 골 반 입사각이나 천추 경사 등의 골반 변수들의 영향이 적고 주로 연령 변화에 따라 영향을 받는다. 이룬 정상 성인에서 연령이 증가함에 흉추의 유의 하게 증가하는데, 이에 대하여는 요추에 비하여 더 경직된 의 후만이 일차적인 변화를 유도하는 것이 원인으로 알려져 있 그러나 내에서 세분화된 분절간 지표는 아직 알려진 바 가 없다. 저자들은 성장이 완료되었지만 퇴행성 보이지 pISSN : 1226-2102, eISSN 2005-8918 48

While the typical symptom associated with pneumorachis after an epidural block is radiculopathy in one or several corresponding segments, there has been a rare case report of significant complications such as cardiac arrest leading to death, paraplegia. We present eighty-nine-year-old male patient who developed progressive paraplegia following upper thoracic block-associated pneumorachis. The procedure was performed at different hospital using loss resistance (LOR) technique. Interestingly,...

Background: Three-dimensionally printed titanium (3D-Ti) cages can be divided into 2 types: window-type cages, which have a void for bone graft, and non-window-type without void. Few studies investigated the necessity of graft in fusion surgery. Therefore, present study assessed clinical radiographic outcomes window 3D-Ti single-level posterior lumbar interbody fusion. Methods: A total 70 patients were randomly assigned to receive either or non-window cage; 61 (87%) completed final follow-up...
