Newest firstBackground/aim The aim of our study was to investigate the effectiveness of lumbar stabilization exercises on serum biomarker levels and clinical outcomes in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) patients with and without neurological deficit. Materials and methods 40 patients with neurological deficits (WND) and 34 patients without neurological deficits (WOND) diagnosed with LDH were included in this study. The patients'…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective Degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) often requires surgical intervention, but traditional posterior-only approaches, despite their effectiveness, result in significant muscle damage and high complication rates. Minimally invasive techniques like oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) and the Wiltse approach are preferred for preserving posterior structures. However, the lack of controlled studies compari…
Objective To investigate the relationship between spinal-pelvic parameters in the coronal and sagittal planes and preoperative coronal imbalance (CIB) in degenerative scoliosis, aiming to prevent preoperative CIB and restore coronal balance(CB) for improved surgical outcomes. Methods From May 2018 to May 2024, adult patients who underwent full-length spine imaging, were analyzed at the Southwest Medical University…
Objective Clarifying paraspinal muscle (PM) change in degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) is positive to evaluate the progression of scoliosis. This research compares the characteristic of PM change among different coronal sub-types of DLS and explores its potential clinical significance. Methods A total of 84 DLS patients between June 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were classified i…
Objective Sciatic scoliosis can be seen in patients with lumbar disc herniation. Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) is a common surgical method for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. The difference between single-segment lumbar disc herniation and double-segment lumbar disc herniation with Sciatic Scoliosis in adults after PELD needs further study. The aim of this study was to compare the imagi…
Background To investigate whether the coronal alignment (CA) will deteriorate, and identify the risk factors for coronal malalignment (CM) developing in adult spinal deformity (ASD) after long-fusion surgery. Methods A multi-center retrospective study was performed, which included a total of 161 ASD patients who had undergone the surgical procedure of long-fusion (≥ 5 vertebras) with instrumentations in three medi…
Background There was a paucity of valid information on how to rectify the convex coronal imbalance effectively in dystrophic scoliosis secondary to Type I neurofibromatosis (DS-NF1), while postoperative inadvertent aggravation of CCI occurred regularly resulting in poor patient satisfaction. We aimed to identify the risk factors for persistent postoperative CCI in DS-NF1, and to optimize the coronal rebalancing st…
Background and Objectives: To compare the long-term pain characteristics and its chronic management following minimally invasive spinal (MIS) decompression and open laminectomy with fusion for lumbar stenosis. Materials and Methods: The study cohort included patients with a minimum 5-year postoperative follow-up after undergoing either MIS decompression or laminectomy with fusion for spinal claudication. The prima…
Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces a cascade of processes that may further expand the damage (secondary injury) or, alternatively, may be part of a safeguard response. Here we show that after a moderate-severe contusive SCI in rats there is a significant and very early increase in the spinal cord content of the endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and arachidonoyl ethanolamide (anandamide, AEA). Since 2-AG…
