One-year Outcome Evaluation after Interspinous Implantation for Degenerative Spinal Stenosis with Segmental Instability
The authors hypothesized that the placement of the interspinous implant would show a similar clinical outcome to the posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in patients having spinal stenosis with mild segmental instability and that this method would be superior to PLIF without significantly affecting degeneration at the adjacent segments. Forty two adult patients having degenerative spinal st...
متن کاملLumbar Segmental Instability and Deformity
Lumbar spine instability develops as a result of a gradual degenerative process. Segmental instability causes chronic low back pain and decreases the quality of life of the patient. The deformity that develops secondary to lumbar instability is seen as coronal and sagittal imbalance. The diagnosis is made with the radiological and clinical findings. Surgery and stabilization is necessary for th...
متن کاملAnalysis of Factors Contributing to Postoperative Spinal Instability after Lumbar Decompression for Spinal Stenosis
OBJECTIVE Decompressive laminectomy is one of the most commonly used surgical methods for the treatment of spinal stenosis. We retrospectively examined the risk factors that induce spinal instability, including slippage (spondylolisthesis) and/or segmental angulation after decompressive laminectomy on the lumbar spine. METHODS From January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2010, 94 consecutive patients und...
متن کاملFacet Effusion without Radiographic Instability Has No Effect on the Outcome of Minimally Invasive Decompression Surgery
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE Lumbar segmental instability is a key factor determining whether decompression alone or decompression and fusion surgery is required to treat lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Some recent reports have suggested that facet joint effusion is correlated with spinal segmental instability. The aim of this study is to report the effect of facet effusio...
متن کاملLumbar Spinal Instability: An Updated Rewiew
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, instability was defined as an abnormal response to applied loads, characterized by movement in the motion segment beyond normal constraints in 1989. Segmental instability has been defined as occurring in patients with low back problems and whose clinical status is unstable, with symptoms fluctuating between mild and severe symptoms in r...
