Effect of lumbar disc replacement on the height of the disc space and the geometry of the facet joints: a cadaver study.

2010

In a study on ten fresh human cadavers we examined the change in the height of the intervertebral disc space, the angle of lordosis and the geometry of the facet joints after insertion of intervertebral total disc replacements. SB III Charité prostheses were inserted at L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1. The changes studied were measured using computer navigation sofware applied to CT scans before and after instrumentation. After disc replacement the mean lumbar disc height was doubled (p < 0.001). The mean angle of lordosis and the facet joint space increased by a statistically significant extent (p < 0.005 and p = 0.006, respectively). By contrast, the mean facet joint overlap was significantl…

Transition from malum coxae senilis to the concept of osteoarthritis. Summary of the best-known theories and classifications

2001

Das Krankheitsbild der degenerativen Gelenkerkrankung ist seit Jahrtausenden bekannt. Der Palaopathologie verdanken wir Funde, die unverkennbar Zeichen eines degenerativen Leidens im Sinne der heutigen Arthrose beinhalten. Bereits die Arzte der Antike kannten und beschrieben dieses Gelenkleiden. Allerdings hatten sie Schwierigkeiten verschiedene Gelenkerkrankungen voneinander abzugrenzen. Zudem waren die therapeutischen Moglichkeiten begrenzt. Uber Jahrhunderte wurden alle Gelenkerkrankungen unter der Bezeichnung “Rheumatismus” gefuhrt, bevor 1683 die Gicht durch Thomas Sydenham (1624–1689), der selbst an einer Arthritis urica litt, abgegrenzt wurde. Eine fruhe Unterteilung geht auf John Ha…
