INTRODUCTION In patients with Tourette's syndrome who have severe motor tics, involuntary neck movements can enhance degenerative changes in the cervical spine, occasionally causing myelopathy. There have been a limited number of reports on surgical treatment for cervical myelopathy caused by Tourette's syndrome, and a consensus for surgical treatment has not been fully established. To the best...
OBJECTIVE This review is intended to summarize the evidence of safety and effectiveness of a recently licensed spinal fusion surgery device that includes a recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEINS BMP are proteins that occur naturally in the matrix of human bone and stimulate bone growth. For spinal surgery, BMP must be delivered to the vertebral level w...
STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study. PURPOSE We investigated the risk factors in adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after more than 5 years of follow-up of lumbar spinal fusion. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE There are many concerns regarding ASD followed by lumbar spinal fusion. However, there is a great deal of dispute about the risk factors. METHODS A total of 55 patients who were followed up ...
PURPOSE Surgery for lumbar spinal degeneration disease is widely performed. While posterior decompression and fusion are popular, anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is also used for treatment. Extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) is commonly used for noninvasive ALIF; however, several complications, such as spinal nerve and psoas muscle injury, have been reported. In the current study, ...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An increasing number of lumbar fusions are performed using allograft to avoid donor-site pain. In elderly patients, fusion potential is reduced and the patient may need supplementary stability to achieve a solid fusion if allograft is used. We investigated the effect of instrumentation in lumbar spinal fusion performed with fresh frozen allograft in elderly patients. ME...
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy intervention following lumbar spinal fusion. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. 2 independent reviewers searched information sources, assessed studies for inclusion and evaluated risk of bias. Quantitative synthesis using standardised mean differences was conducted on comparable outcomes across trials with similar interventions...
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of one-stage lateral rhachotomy and posterior fusion with compression hooks, for the treatment of Pott's paralysis in the elderly. METHODS 11 elderly patients underwent lateral rhachotomy (costotransversectomy and pediculectomy) to debride the tuberculosis focus extending into the epidural space and to decompress the spinal cord. After debridem...
The use of spinal fusion procedures has rapidly augmented over the last decades and although autogenous bone graft is the "gold standard" for these procedures, alternatives to its use have been investigated over many years. A number of emerging strategies as well as tissue engineering with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been planned to enhance spinal fusion rate. This descriptive systematic...
Objectives The aims of this study were to compare the performance of machine learning methods for the prediction of the medical costs associated with spinal fusion in terms of profit or loss in Taiwan Diagnosis-Related Groups (Tw-DRGs) and to apply these methods to explore the important factors associated with the medical costs of spinal fusion. Methods A data set was obtained from a regional...
BACKGROUND Although some investigators believe that the rate of postoperative instability is low after lumbar spinal stenosis surgery, the majority believe that postoperative instability usually develops. Decompression alone and decompression with fusion have been widely used for years in the surgical treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. Nevertheless, in recent years several biomechanical studi...
