چکیده
Bone wax is a well-known agent used to prevent bleeding from the bone that can be used in different surgical procedures. Bone wax is a safe agent, but it may rarely lead to significant foreign body reactions. In this report, we present a patient who developed bone wax-related disc space foreign body granuloma following L4 total laminectomy, extremely rare complication.

Foreign body granuloma after bone cement augmentation of pedicle screws for osteoporotic spinal surgery: A case report
Osteoporosis causes a decrease in bone mineral density. To overcome the decrease in fixation strength, a variety of techniques and devices have been developed, including cement augmentation of pedicle screws. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), is commonly known as bone cement, and is widely used for implant fixation in various orthopaedic and spine surgery. In general, PMMA augmentation of pedicle...

A 9-year-old girl with a solid variant of an aneurysmal bone cyst in the 3rd lumbar vertebra showed a good response to low-dose radiation as the only treatment. The solid variant of aneurysmal bone cyst is thought to be a reactive response to intraosseous hemorrhage and is also called giant cell reparative granuloma or giant cell reaction. These lesions in the jaw and the short tubular bones of...

متن کاملThe Correlation between Trabecular Bone Score and Lumbar Spine Bone Mineral Density in Patients with Normal and High Body Mass Index
Background: Trabecular bone score (TBS) measures the underlying quality of bone texture using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) and TBS, and subsequently determine whether the association varies with the body mass index (BMI). Methods: Data from 548 patients were collected a...
