متن کاملObjective Functional Testing in Patients With Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease
Dear Editor: We were delighted to read the results of the prospective study by Mobbs et al on “Physical Activity Measured With Accelerometer and Self-Rated Disability in Lumbar Spine Surgery” in a recent issue of the Global Spine Journal. Using a commercially available accelerometer and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), such as the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Score (...
متن کاملPercutaneous Thoracic Intervertebral Disc Nucleoplasty: Technical Notes from 3 Patients with Painful Thoracic Disc Herniations
Symptomatic thoracic disc herniation is an uncommon condition and early surgical approaches were associated with significant morbidity and even mortality. We are the first to describe the technique of percutaneous thoracic nucleoplasty in three patients with severe radicular pain due to thoracic disc herniation. Two of the patients experienced more than 75% pain relief and one patient experienc...
