Reliability analysis of the epidural spinal cord compression scale
Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 324-328 - 2010
ObjectiveThe evolution of imaging techniques, along with highly effective
radiation options has changed the way metastatic epidural tumors are treated.
While high-grade epidural spinal cord compression (ESCC) frequently serves as an
indication for surgical decompression, no consensus exists in the literature
about the precise definition of this term. The advancement of the treatment
paradigms in p...
Treatment of basilar invagination by atlantoaxial joint distraction and direct lateral mass fixation
Tập 1 Số 3 - Trang 281-286 - 2004
Object. The author discusses the successful preliminary experience of treating
selected cases of basilar invagination by performing atlantoaxial joint
distraction, reduction of the basilar invagination, and direct lateral mass
atlantoaxial plate/screw fixation. Methods. Twenty-two patients with basilar
invagination—in which the odontoid process invaginated into the foramen magnum
and the tip of th...
Radiographic and clinical evaluation of cage subsidence after stand-alone lateral interbody fusion
Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 110-118 - 2013
Object Indirect decompression of the neural structures through interbody
distraction and fusion in the lumbar spine is feasible, but cage subsidence may
limit maintenance of the initial decompression. The influence of interbody cage
size on subsidence and symptoms in minimally invasive lateral interbody fusion
is heretofore unreported. The authors report the rate of cage subsidence after
lateral i...
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion in comparison with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: implications for the restoration of foraminal height, local disc angle, lumbar lordosis, and sagittal balance
Tập 7 Số 4 - Trang 379-386 - 2007
Object A primary consideration of all spinal fusion procedures is restoration of
normal anatomy, including disc height, lumbar lordosis, foraminal decompression,
and sagittal balance. To the authors' knowledge, there has been no direct
comparison of anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) with transforaminal lumbar
interbody fusion (TLIF) concerning their capacity to alter those parameters. The
au...
Surgical site infection rates after minimally invasive spinal surgery
Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 471-476 - 2009
Object Postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) have been reported after
2–6% of spinal surgeries in most large series. The incidence of SSI can be < 1%
after decompressive procedures and > 10% after instrumented fusions. Anecdotal
evidence has suggested that there is a lower rate of SSI when minimally invasive
techniques are used. Methods A retrospective review of prospectively collected
dat...
Minimally invasive microendoscopy-assisted transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with instrumentation
Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang 98-105 - 2005
ObjectThe authors have developed a novel technique for percutaneous fusion in
which standard microendoscopic discectomy is modified. Based on data obtained in
their cadaveric studies they considered that this minimally invasive interbody
fusion could be safely implemented clinically. The authors describe their
initial experience with a microendoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion
(METLIF...
Impact of spinopelvic alignment on decision making in deformity surgery in adults
Tập 16 Số 6 - Trang 547-564 - 2012
Sagittal spinal misalignment (SSM) is an established cause of pain and
disability. Treating physicians must be familiar with the radiographic findings
consistent with SSM. Additionally, the restoration or maintenance of
physiological sagittal spinal alignment after reconstructive spinal procedures
is imperative to achieve good clinical outcomes. The C-7 plumb line (sagittal
vertical axis) has trad...
Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation of the lumbar spine: preliminary clinical results
Tập 97 Số 1 - Trang 7-12 - 2002
Object. Standard techniques for pedicle screw fixation of the lumbar spine
involve open exposures and extensive muscle dissection. The purpose of this
study was to report the initial clinical experience with a novel device for
percutaneous posterior fixation of the lumbar spine. Methods. An existing
multiaxial lumbar pedicle screw system was modified to allow screws to be placed
percutaneously by ...
Influence of an artificial cervical joint compared with fusion on adjacent-level motion in the treatment of degenerative cervical disc disease
Tập 96 Số 1 - Trang 17-21 - 2002
Object. The authors report the preservation of motion at surgically treated and
adjacent spinal segments after placing an artificial cervical joint (ACJ) and
they describe the influence of interbody fusion on changes in angulation
occurring in the sagittal plane at adjacent levels in the treatment of cervical
spondylosis. Methods. The authors conducted a prospective nonrandomized study of
patients...
Perioperative outcomes and adverse events of minimally invasive versus open posterior lumbar fusion: meta-analysis and systematic review
Tập 24 Số 3 - Trang 416-427 - 2016
OBJECT The objective of this study was to determine the clinical comparative
effectiveness and adverse event rates of posterior minimally invasive surgery
(MIS) compared with open transforaminal or posterior lumbar interbody fusion
(TLIF/PLIF). METHODS A systematic review of the Medline, EMBASE, PubMed, Web of
Science, and Cochrane databases was performed. A hand search of reference lists
was cond...
