The rarity of the syndrome has prevented the establishment of specific guidelines for management; therefore, we will discuss this case in the context of similar previously reported cases, contrasting the various treatment approaches and outcomes described in previous reports. This discussion outlines a syndrome not commonly considered in the differential diagnosis of back pain.

Scoliosis Back Pain

Scoliosis Back Pain
Scoliosis back pain is a great conundrum for dorsopathy patients, since this spinal curvature condition is often blamed for sourcing symptoms, yet treatments are rarely, if ever, successful. Scoliosis describes a spinal abnormality in which the patient suffers an atypical side to side curvature of the spine at one or more locations. Some patients have a single abnormal curve, generally referred to as a “C” curve, while others have 2 or more abnormal curves, generally referred to as an “S” curve.

Capitalising on effective treatment strategies for low back pain – How do we bridge the self-management gap?
Epidemiological evidence confirms that low back pain has a tendency to recur.

There has been a move into a bio-psychosocial philosophical approach to care, although, contrary to this integrated philosophy there are Instances where some clinicians take a completely hands-off approach to care, whilst others simply ignore the psychosocial dimension. Patients of course are not really in a position of awareness or knowledge to be able to comment or express their views and needs in relation to treatment and therefore, to a large extent, this polarity may go un-noticed.

Microendoscopic discectomy for recurrent lumbar disc herniation*

Microendoscopic discectomy for recurrent lumbar disc herniation*
The purpose of this study is to elucidate the feasibility of microendoscopic discectomy (MED) for the treatment of recurrent lumbar disc herniation. Thirty-six patients with recurrent lumbar disc herniation were treated using MED (30 men and six women; mean age: 45.7 years, range: 26[ndash]80 years; mean follow-up: 24.4 months, range: 12[ndash]52 months; mean duration between the primary and revision surgery: 65.9 months, range: 1[ndash]320 months) (recurrent group).
