Middle-period curative effect of posterior lumbar intervertebral fusion (PLIF) and interspinous dynamic fixation (Wallis) for treatment of L45 degenerative disease and its influence on adjacent segment degeneration.
OBJECTIVE To study middle period curative effect of posterior lumbar intervertebral fusion (PLIF) and interspinous dynamic fixation (Wallis) in the treatment of L45 degenerative disease and its influence on adjacent segment degeneration. PATIENTS AND METHODS 66 patients with lumbar L45 degenerative diseases were selected for study. The patients were randomly divided into PLIF operation group ...
متن کاملMechanical Instability on Lumbar Spine at the Adjacent and Subjacent Segment after Rigid Fixation
To investigate the effect of PLIF and after rigid fixation on adjacent segment and subjacent mechanical instability moreover under loading adjacent and subjacent segment mechanical behavior. Eleven fresh-frozen lamb lumbar spines (Sacrum-T12) were loaded, in axial, flexion-extension, right-left bending directions. All specimens were tested intact and after implantation with posterior pedicle sc...
متن کاملMRI Assessment of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Degeneration with Lumbar Degenerative Disease Using the Pfirrmann Grading Systems
BACKGROUND To evaluate by MRI intervertebral disc degeneration in patients with lumbar degenerative disease using the Pfirrmann grading system and to determine whether Modic changes correlated with the Pfirrmann grades and modified Pfirrmann grades of disc degeneration. METHODS The clinical data of 108 surgical patients with lumbar degenerative disease were reviewed and their preoperative MR ...
متن کاملA new lumbar posterior fixation system, the memory metal spinal system: an in-vitro mechanical evaluation
BACKGROUND Spinal systems that are currently available for correction of spinal deformities or degeneration such as lumbar spondylolisthesis or degenerative disc disease use components manufactured from stainless steel or titanium and typically comprise two spinal rods with associated connection devices (for example: DePuy Spines Titanium Moss Miami Spinal System). The Memory Metal Spinal Syste...
متن کاملClinical outcomes of degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis treated with lumbar decompression and the Cosmic “semi-rigid” posterior system
BACKGROUND Although some investigators believe that the rate of postoperative instability is low after lumbar spinal stenosis surgery, the majority believe that postoperative instability usually develops. Decompression alone and decompression with fusion have been widely used for years in the surgical treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. Nevertheless, in recent years several biomechanical studi...
