L5 radiculopathy caused by L5 nerve root entrapment by an L5-S1 anterior osteophyte
BACKGROUND L5 radiculopathy is a common problem that has several causes. Entrapment of the L5 nerve root by anterior osteophytes at the L5-S1 junction is rarely reported. Posterior decompression of the L5 nerve root is commonly performed, but anterior decompression of the L5 nerve root is not a frequently performed procedure. The purpose of this case report is to describe an uncommon case of L5...
متن کاملL5-S1 Laparoscopic Anterior Interbody Fusion
OBJECTIVE We evaluated our experience with laparoscopic L5-S1 anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF). METHODS This represents a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients who underwent L5-S1 laparoscopic ALIF between February 1998 and August 2003. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients underwent L5-S1 LAIF (15 males and 13 females). The mean age was 43 years (range, 26 to 67). Mean operative ti...
متن کاملDenervation hypertrophy in L5 radiculopathy.
A 47-year-old white male with a background history of chronic left sciatic pain developed a lump on the left thigh. Muscle MRI showed changes consistent with myotome L5 hypertrophy, while a lumbosacral MRI showed a disc protrusion at L4-L5. Continuous complex repetitive discharges became evident through needle electromyogram with a muscle biopsy showing chronic denervation changes. Botulinum to...
متن کاملL5 – S1 Segmental Kinematics After Facet Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND Facet arthroplasty is a motion restoring procedure. It is normally suggested as an alternative to rigid fixation after destabilizing decompression procedures in the posterior lumbar spine. While previous studies have reported successful results in reproducing normal spine kinematics after facet replacement at L4-5 and L3-4, there are no data on the viability of facet replacement at t...
متن کاملLower Extremity Radicular Pain Caused by Entrapped Sigmoid Colon Between L5 and S1 Vertebrae.
Intestinal entrapment between two vertebral bodies is very rare. In all previous cases, it occurred by major trauma. However, the bowel entrapment between two vertebral bodies without trauma has never been reported, not to mention as the cause of lower extremity radicular pain. We describe the case of an 82-year-old female patient with right lower extremity radicular pain without recent trauma ...
