Safety and efficacy of a new percutaneously implantable interspinous process device

Safety and efficacy of a new percutaneously implantable interspinous process device
Conclusions  The In-space is a percutaneous treatment option of claudication in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Compared with microsurgical decompression surgery, recurrence rate within 1 year is, however, high and the device seems not suitable for the treatment of low back pain. Therefore, the authors suggest that the device should presently be used primarily in controlled clinical trials in order to get more information concerning the optimal indication.

Restoration of disc height through non-invasive spinal decompression is associated with decreased discogenic low back pain: a retrospective cohort study

Restoration of disc height through non-invasive spinal decompression is associated with decreased discogenic low back pain: a retrospective cohort study
Background: Because previous studies have suggested that motorized non-surgical spinal decompression can reduce chronic low back pain (LBP) due to disc degeneration (discogenic low back pain) and disc herniation, it has accordingly been hypothesized that the reduction of pressure on affected discs will facilitate their regeneration. The goal of this study was to determine if changes in LBP, as measured on a verbal rating scale, before and after a 6-week treatment period with non-surgical spinal decompression, correlate with changes in lumbar disc height, as measured on computed tomography (CT) scans. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of adults with chronic LBP attributed to disc herniation and/or discogenic LBP who underwent a 6-week treatment protocol of motorized non-surgical spinal …

Spontaneous fusion across the apex of severe thoracolumbar Scheuermann’s kyphosis: A surgical consideration

Spontaneous fusion across the apex of severe thoracolumbar Scheuermann’s kyphosis: A surgical consideration
Athanasios I TsirikosIndian Journal of Orthopaedics 2010 44(3):349-353Considerable debate exists regarding the pathogenesis, natural history and treatment of Scheuermann's kyphosis. Surgical correction is indicated in the presence of severe kyphosis which carries the risk of neurological complications, persistent back pain and significant cosmetic deformity. This can be achieved through a posterior-only or an anteroposterior approach. Spontaneous fusion in association with Scheuermann's kyphosis has not been previously described. This is an important consideration if surgical correction of the kyphosis is planned. Two patients with severe thoracolumbar Scheuermann's kyphosis who developed spontaneous posterior and anteroposterior fusion across the apex of the deformity…

Clinical outcomes of patients with lumbar disc herniation, selected for one-level open-discectomy and microdiscectomy

Clinical outcomes of patients with lumbar disc herniation, selected for one-level open-discectomy and microdiscectomy
Abstract  The aim of our study was twofold: firstly, to compare the preoperative and postoperative results at mid-term follow-up periods along with the data of the control group. Secondly, to evaluate the effectiveness among open-discectomy and microdiscectomy surgical groups. In the present study, we investigated a cohort of 100 patients with the lumbar disc herniation causing low back pain compared to 100 subjects of the control group with the non-specific low back pain by applying physical activity, pain scale, Short Form 36 General Health Questionnaire and additional postoperative records of patient’s satisfaction and complications level, consumption of analgesics, and return to work status. The quantitative analysis of all questionnaires showed substantial difference…

Multiple intradural-extramedullary ependymomas: proven dissemination by genetic analysis.

Multiple intradural-extramedullary ependymomas: proven dissemination by genetic analysis.
Authors: Vural M, Arslantas A, Ciftci E, Artan S, Adapinar B This 45-year-old woman was admitted with neck and back pain and difficulty in ambulation that had been progressively worsening for 2 years. Admission MR imaging revealed a cervicomedullary junction tumor and 2 intradural-extramedullary spinal tumors located separately at the levels of T5-6 and T8-9. All masses were successfully resected in a 2-stage operation. Histopathological examination of the surgical specimens revealed that all the lesions were ependymomas. Genetic analysis was performed to determine if the tumors were related. Conventional cytogenetics, multiplex fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH), interphase-FISH specific to 22q11, and epidermal growth factor receptor loci analyses of the tumor samples reveale…
