Study Design: prospective study.
Objective: present results of Prestige LP artificial cervical disc replacement (ADR).
Summary Of Background Data: motion preservation with ADR can potentially reduce adjacent segment degeneration.
Study Design: Prospective study
Objective: To determine the clinical outcomes and the effect on quality of life of patients with endoscopic discectomy.
Summary Of Background Data: Percutaneous endoscopic discectomy is a relatively new technique. Very few studies have reported the clinical outcome of percutaneous endoscopic discectomy in terms of quality of life and return to the work.
Background Context: Anterior lumbar surgery is a common procedure for anterior lumbar interbody fusion and disc replacement but the impact of obesity on this procedure has not been determined.
Purpose: To assess the perioperative outcomes of anterior retroperitoneal lumbar surgery in obese versus non-obese patients.
Study Design/setting: Prospective review of patients with anterior retroperitoneal lumbar disc procedures
Patient Sample: Seventy-four patients with anterior retroperitoneal lumbar disc procedures performed were evaluated.
Study Design: Prospective study.
Objective: Comparison of clinical and radiologic outcomes of minimally invasive (MIS) versus Open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).
Summary Of Background Data: Open TLIF has been performed for many years with good results.
Background Context: Cervical total disc replacement (TDR) is an emerging technology. However, the factors that influence postoperative range of motion (ROM) and patient satisfaction are not fully understood.
Purpose: To evaluate the influence of pre- and postoperative disc height on postoperative motion and clinical outcomes.
