Recovery of motor deficits after microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation.
We have studied, prospectively, 116 patients with motor deficits associated with herniation of a lumbar disc who underwent microdiscectomy. They were studied during the first six months and at a mean of 6.4 years after surgery. Before operation, muscle weakness was mild (grade 4) in 67% of patients, severe (grade 3) in 21% and very severe (grade 2 or 1) in 12%. The muscle which most frequently ...
متن کاملAssociation between changes in lumbar Modic changes and low back symptoms over a two-year period
BACKGROUND The association of Modic changes (MC) with low back pain (LBP) is unclear. The purpose of our study was to investigate the associations between the extent of Type 1 (M1) and Type 2 (M2) MC and low back symptoms over a two-year period. METHODS The subjects (n = 64, mean age 43.8 y; 55 [86%] women) were consecutive chronic LBP patients who had M1 or mixed M1/M2 on lumbar spine magnet...
متن کاملFeasibility of Percutaneous Lumbar Discectomy Combined with Percutaneous Cementoplasty for Symptomatic Lumbar Disc Herniation with Modic Type I Endplate Changes.
BACKGROUND Treatment of symptomatic lumbar disc herniation with Modic type I endplate changes is complex and challenging, requiring systemic and local therapies which include conservative therapy, epidural infiltrations, percutaneous therapeutic techniques, and surgical options. The clinical management of symptomatic lumbar disc herniation involving Modic type I endplate changes is uniquely cha...
متن کاملVertebral endplate (modic) changes and the treatment of back pain using antibiotics
• Vertebral endplate changes/modic changes (MC) are the MRI-images of inflammatory vertebral endplate damage that are often related to general disc degeneration. • In patients with prolonged back pain, the prevalence of MC is 40%. • In individuals with MC, more than 90% will have back pain within 1 year. • MC often causes localized pain 24/7. • Nocturnal pain is the rule rather than the excepti...
متن کاملThe effect of zoledronic acid on type and volume of Modic changes among patients with low back pain
BACKGROUND Modic changes (MC) are associated with low back pain (LBP). In this study, we compared changes in size and type of MC, after a single intravenous infusion of 5 mg zoledronic acid (ZA) or placebo, among chronic LBP patients with MC on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and evaluated whether the MRI changes correlate with symptoms. METHODS All patients (N = 19 in ZA, 20 in placebo) ha...
