Adjacent segment degeneration in the lumbar spine.
BACKGROUND A primary concern after posterior lumbar spine arthrodesis is the potential for adjacent segment degeneration cephalad or caudad to the fusion segment. There is controversy regarding the subsequent degeneration of adjacent segments, and we are aware of no long-term studies that have analyzed both cephalad and caudad degeneration following posterior arthrodesis. A retrospective invest...
متن کاملAdjacent segment degeneration following spinal fusion for degenerative disc disease.
Fusion has become the standard of care for numerous pathologic conditions of the spine over the past 50 years. Instrumented thoracolumbar fusion for adolescent and adult spinal deformity has enjoyed great success in arresting the progression of and correcting scoliotic deformity. In the cervical spine, decompression and fusion have provided a greater than 90% likelihood of relieving radicular s...
متن کاملevaluation of adjacent segment degeneration after cervical spine surgery: arthroplasty versus fusion
background : anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (acdf) is an effective treatment for disc herniations ; but some studies demonstrated that in the untreated levels adjacent to a fusion, increased motion might lead to an increased risk of adjacent segment degeneration (asd). on the other hand, methods of cervical disc arthroplasty (cda) have improved. the aim of this study is to evaluate and...
متن کاملAdjacent Segment Motion After Lumbar Fusion
t I I Study Design. For in vitro studies, there is no basis t for choosing a "load control study" over a "displace: ment control" study. This study qualitatively compared f results from in vitro and in vivo tests, allowing the au€ : thors to address the experimental assumptions that in vitro testing contributes to the understanding of the in vivo condition. Objectives. To compare motion changes...
متن کاملAdjacent Segment Pathology after Lumbar Spinal Fusion
One of the major clinical issues encountered after lumbar spinal fusion is the development of adjacent segment pathology (ASP) caused by increased mechanical stress at adjacent segments, and resulting in various radiographic changes and clinical symptoms. This condition may require surgical intervention. The incidence of ASP varies with both the definition and methodology adopted in individual ...
