STUDY DESIGN Retrospective single center analysis. OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study is to quantify the development of a postoperative radiculitis in our minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion patient population. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The application of recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP) in spinal surgery has allowed for greater success in spinal f...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Steroid periradicular infiltration is a common nonsurgical sciatic pain treatment of inconsistent efficacy. The purpose of this study was to identify factors for predicting the efficacy or failure of this procedure. METHODS Two hundred twenty-nine patients with lumbar radiculopathy were prospectively followed up at 2 weeks and 1 year after percutaneous periradicular ste...

BACKGROUND Cervical radicular syndrome (CRS) due to a herniated disc can be safely treated by surgical decompression of the spinal root. In the vast majority of cases this relieves pain in the arm and restores function. However, conservative treatment also has a high chance on relieving symptoms. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the (cost-) effectiveness of surgery versus prolo...

AIM Lately, the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging, Lasègue sign and classic neurological signs have been considered not accurate enough to distinguish the radicular from non-radicular low back with leg pain (LBLP) and a calculation of the symptomatic side muscle volume has been indicated as a probable valuable marker. However, only the multifidus muscle volume has been calculated s...

Background: Lumbar radiculopathy is a disease of the spinal nerve root generally accompanied by radicular pain in dermatomal distribution and/or neurologic symptoms. The previous studies were focusing on finding the disability and pain caused due to Lumbar Radiculopathy. This study is focusing on the disability, pain, range of motion of the spine and SLR. The objective of the study is to evalua...

PURPOSE This study examined the factors that can be associated with the appearance of the interproximal papilla. METHODS One hundred and forty-seven healthy interproximal papillae between the maxillary central incisors were examined. For each subject, a digital photograph and periapical radiograph of the interdental embrasure were taken using a 1-mm grid metal piece. The following parameters ...

BACKGROUND Radicular pain has been considered to be a relative contraindication to vertebroplasty. It was reported by some authors in the literature that percutaneous vertebroplasty (PV) in these conditions were performed without complications. OBJECTIVE We describe a patient with radicular pain related to compression of the dorsal root ganglion by malignant tumor which was relieved after PV....
