Tadpole system as new lumbar spinal instrumentation
BACKGROUND There have been reports of serious complications associated with pedicle screw fixation, including nerve root injuries caused by accidental screw insertion. We have developed a new system of lumbar spinal instrumentation that we call Tadpole system. The purposes of this report were to show the results of a biomechanical study and the short-term outcome of a clinical study, as well as...
متن کاملFrequency of Instrumentation in Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Lumbar Disc Herniation
Background & Aim: Lumbosacral pain is extremely common as age increases. Spinal instrumentation is sometimes recommended for lumbar canal stenosis and disk herniation surgery. This study aimed at studying the frequency of instrumentation in patients referring to our center. Methods & Materials/Patients: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 1200 patients with low back and...
متن کاملHybrid Instrumentation in Lumbar Spinal Fusion
Spondylodesis with transpedicular screw fixation is widely used for the treatment of different spine pathologies. Yet a potential conflict exists between the immediate benefit and later consequences or complications of this technique. The term adjacent segment degeneration is used to describe radiologic changes seen at levels adjacent to a previous spine fusion, which do not necessarily correla...
متن کاملImpact of instrumentation in lumbar spinal fusion in elderly patients
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An increasing number of lumbar fusions are performed using allograft to avoid donor-site pain. In elderly patients, fusion potential is reduced and the patient may need supplementary stability to achieve a solid fusion if allograft is used. We investigated the effect of instrumentation in lumbar spinal fusion performed with fresh frozen allograft in elderly patients. ME...
متن کاملBiomechanical Analysis of Anterior Spinal Instrumentation Constructs for Lumbar Fusions
Corrective surgery for scoliosis with anterior instrumentation can be accomplished with different constructs: single rod, single rod with interbody cages and dual rods. These varying constructs are most often used in the lumbar spine to generate a fusion mass while retaining the natural lordosis of the lumbar region (Sweet, 1999). In a pediatric population or in smaller adults, two screws canno...
