Low back pain during pregnancy in Iranian women: Prevalence and risk factors.
Authors: Ansari NN, Hasson S, Naghdi S, Keyhani S, Jalaie S Low back pain (LBP) is a common and often disabling condition that deserves attention.

Self-reported assessment of disability and performance-based assessment of disability are influenced by different patient characteristics in acute low back pain

Self-reported assessment of disability and performance-based assessment of disability are influenced by different patient characteristics in acute low back pain
Abstract  For an individual, the functional consequences of an episode of low back pain is a key measure of their clinical status. Self-reported disability measures are commonly used to capture this component of the back pain experience. In non-acute low back pain there is some uncertainty of the validity of this approach. It appears that self-reported assessment of disability and direct measurements of functional status are only moderately related. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated this relationship in a sample of 94 acute low back pain patients. Both self-reported disability and a performance-based assessment of disability were assessed, along with extensive profiling of patient characteristics. Scale consistency of the performance-based assessment was investi…

Technique of insertion of total lumbar disc prostheses: preoperative assessment, insertion technique and significance of navigation
Abstract  Total disc arthroplasty for lumbar spine is a new solution for low back pain treatment after adequate patient selection. The surgical technique starts with a morphological and anatomical analysis to eliminate surgical exposure problems. The surgical approach is retroperitoneal from the left or the right side after horizontal skin incision. Video-assistance improves vision and allows minimal invasive exposure. At level L5-S1, the exposure is performed in the vessels bifurcation (aorta and vena cava), at level L4–L5 the ligature of the lumbar ascending vein is the key point to allow appropriate retraction of the vessels. In some difficult cases the use of dedicated implants allows prosthesis insertion without extensive exposure by the use of an oblique implant. Th…
