Injuries of the spine are not uncommon, they can have devastating consequences. Serious accidents like traffic, falling and sports' accidents are commonly associated with spinal trauma. In a 7-year review of 1,447 spine fractures, 202 (14%) were due to sporting or recreational causes, of which 84 (42%) were associated with paralysis, they occur in 11.2% of motorcyclists and 14.1 % of car occupa...

BACKGROUND The choice of surgical methods for lumbosacral tuberculosis is controversial due to the complex anterior anatomy and peculiar biomechanics of the lumbosacral junction. The objective of this study was to explore the clinical effect of posterior intervertebral space debridement with annular bone graft fusion and fixation for the treatment of lumbosacral tuberculosis. METHODS We retro...

Spina bifida, a congenital deformity of the posterior wall of vertebrae of the spine, is a midline defect of skin, vertebral arches and neural tube, usually in the lumbosacral region. Its incidence is reported to be 0.2 to 0.4 per 1000 live births. Various hypotheses have been put forward as etiological factors for spina bifida including consumption of potato affected by blight and hardness of ...

Ankylosing spondylitis poses several anesthetic challenges ranging from difficult airway to neuraxial blockade. Limited cervical spine mobility, restricted opening of the temporomandibular joint, and cardiorespiratory compromise makes anesthesia preferred technique in these patients. However due ossification interspinous ligament ligamentum flavum, also syndesmophytes between adjacent vertebrae...

The interaction between the lumbosacral spine and the pelvis is dynamically related to positional change, and may be complicated by co-existing pathology. This review summarises the current literature examining the effect of sagittal spinal deformity on pelvic and acetabular orientation during total hip arthroplasty (THA) and provides recommendations to aid in placement of the acetabular compon...

Abstract Background Lumbosacral plexus is a collection of nerves that converge and diverge finally merge into terminal innervate the pelvis lower limbs. plexopathy clinical disease characterized by motor sensory abnormalities can result from damage to lumbosacral different types insults. Electrophysiological studies are used demonstrate presence radiculo-plexopathy, but it restricted owing deep...
