Clinical analysis following lumbar interspinous devices implant: where we are and where we go
2014
Objectives:We present our experience with patients treated with interspinous devices who are affected by neurogenic intermittent claudication (NIC) or lumbar disc herniation (LDH) where the interspinous system has been inserted following microdiscectomy.Study design:Retrospective study.Methods:This study included patients (n=100) with NIC secondary to lumbar spinal stenosis (group 1), and patients (n=100) with LDH (group 2) in whom the interspinous device has been implanted following radicular decompression in a period spanning 6 years. The latter have been compared with a homogenous group of patients (n=100) where no interspinous system has been implanted following microdiscectomy (group 3…
Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: When and Why the Cervical Corpectomy?
2020
Background: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a degenerative disease that represents the most common spinal cord disorder in adults. The best treatment option has remained controversial. We performed a prospective study to evaluate the clinical, radiographic, and neurophysiologic outcomes for anterior cervical corpectomy in the treatment of CSM. Methods: From January 2011 to January 2017, 60 patients with CSM were prospectively enrolled in the present study. The patients were divided according to the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association scale (mJOA) score into 2 groups: group A, patients with mild to moderate CSM (mJOA score ≥13); and group B, patients with severe myelopathy (mJ…
Prädiktoren der Lebensqualität nach orthopädischer Behandlung lumbaler "bandscheibenbedingter" Rückenschmerzen/ Predictors of quality of life after o…
2003
Zusammenssung Fragestellung: Untersuchung der pradiktiven Bedeutung organpathologischer, psychischer und psychosozialer Parameter fur die Lebensqualitat bei Katamnese von Patienten mit lumbalen "bandscheibenbedingten" Beschwerden. Methode: In dieser prospektiven Studie wurden 109 Patienten mit lumbaler "bandscheibenbedingter" Schmerzsymptomatik vor und ein Jahr nach stationarer orthopadischer Behandlung hinsichtlich ihrer Lebensqualitat und psychischen Belastung untersucht. Der Behandlungserfolg wurde mit Hilfe der deutschen Version des Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), die psychische Belastung mit Hilfe der Symptom-Checkliste 90 (SCL-90-R) und die Krankheitsbewaltigung mit Hilfe des Freibu…
Early Onset of Guillain–Barré Syndrome Following Lumbar Disc Herniation Surgery: An Unexpected Clinical Evolution
2021
Letter: Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS), is a neurologic complication rarely reported following a spinal surgery procedure.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 GBS is a potentially fatal, immune-mediated disease of the peripheral nerves and nerve roots that is usually triggered by infections. It is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis, with an annual global incidence of approximately 1–2 per 100,000 person-years.7 Although the clinical presentation of the disease is heterogeneous, patients typically present with weakness and sensory signs in the legs that progress to the arms and cranial muscles. Disease progression can be rapid in approximately 20% of patients with respiratory failure requiring mech…
Fractional Calculus as a New Perspective in the Viscoelastic Behaviour of the Intervertebral Disc
2022
The spinal column is the load-bearing structure of the human being along with its components, which together build a strong, resistant, and stable structure, but there are a few different pathologies from which it can suffer, such as herniated discs. The intervertebral disc acts as a shock absorber and ensures the spine’s great capacity to support high loads and different states of stress, thanks to its viscoelastic properties. Some studies have attempted to describe the viscoelastic behaviour of the intervertebral disc using classical rheological models, such as the Kelvin-Voigt, or multi-parameter models. Even if these models partially describe the viscoelastic response of disc, all visco…
