چکیده

Eighteen Functional Spinal Units (FSU), representing three levels of human lumbar and lumbosacral spine, were tested using preload forces that corresponded to the clinical situation of a person lying supine or standing while subjected to maximum physiologic flexion or extension forces. Sagittal plane displacements were measured using linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) and a MINC-11/03 minicomputer. Sequential transection of components in the posterior-to-anterior and anterior-to-posterior directions until failure occurred allowed measurements of the displacement sagittal plane translation and rotation of the intact and transected FSU.

Inflammatory Pseudotumor in the Epidural Space of the Lumbosacral Spine on F-18 FDG PET/CT

An inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare benign lesion, characterized by nonneoplastic proliferation of inflammatory cells and presence of intermingling collagen fibers. IPT commonly occurs in the lungs and orbita, while an intraspinal IPT is extremely rare. IPT can mimic both clinically and radiologically malignant processes, and making a definitive preoperative diagnosis is often difficult...

بررسی رابطه کمردرد با زاویه لومبار لوردوز و لومبوساکرال

Background and purpose: Despite the high prevalence of mechanical low back pain, its etiology remains undiscovered in most of the cases. However, there have been many speculations about its origin based on X-ray findings and hyperlordosis of lumbar spine is an important factor. In this study, attempts were made to establish a possible relation between low back pain, lumbar lordosis and lumbosac...

Comparing the Effect of Alendronate and Vitamin D Administration on Lumbosacral Fusion and Severity of Low Back Pain in Patients After Posterior Lumbar Fusion Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background and purpose: Bone fusion is a dynamic process and availability of calcium and balance of vitamin D can be effective in post spinal cord fusion. There are contradictory results on this issue, so, we decided to compare the effect of administration of vitamin D and alendronate on lumbosacral vertebral fusion in patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgery. Materials and methods:...
