Article Synopsis
- The study is a retrospective cohort analysis focused on the effectiveness of balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) for treating vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) in patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH).
- A total of 72 patients were examined, with 21 having DISH and 51 without, to assess factors like back pain improvement, adjacent fracture incidence, and reoperation rates.
- Results showed that BKP improved back pain in both groups and had similar rates of subsequent fractures and reoperations, though local kyphosis increased significantly in the DISH group, indicating BKP's potential benefits despite complications.
Vertical Subluxation Caused by Infection Around the Odontoid Process: A Case Report.
J Orthop Case Rep
January 2024
Introduction: There are few reports of cases with vertical subluxation. We report our experience of a vertical subluxation of the atlantoaxial joint caused by infection.
Case Report: A 63-year-old man had a 5-month history of neck pain.
Study Design: This study adopted a retrospective cohort study design.
Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the influence of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) on bone fusion after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).
Overview Of Literature: The negative effects of DISH on lumbar degenerative diseases have been reported, and DISH may be involved in the onset and severity of lumbar spinal canal stenosis.
