Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of oblique lumbar interbody fusion(OLIF) combined with posterior percutaneous internal fixation in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis with or without redundant nerve roots(RNRs).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 92 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis treated by oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion combined with posterior percutaneous internal fixation from June 2019 to June 2022 was performed. There were 32 males and 60 females, aged from 44 to 82 years old with an average of (63.
Objective: To investigate the clinical significance and screen the risk factors of redundant nerve roots(RNRs) in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
Methods: The clinical data of 196 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis in the department of Spinal Surgery, Yijishan Hospital, Wannan Medical College from April 1, 2015 to November 30, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into RNRs positive group and RNRs negative group according to the presence of RNRs.
Background: Few reports have described lumbar foraminal stenosis-induced radiculopathy after treatment by full-endoscopic spine surgery (FESS) combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in patients with vertebral compression fractures. We herein report such a case, including the patient's treatment process and doctor's surgical experience.
Case Summary: A 79-year-old man presented with symptoms of radiculopathy after sustaining L4 vertebral compression fractures.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between spine-pelvic sagittal parameters and clinical efficacy before and after oblique lumbar interbody fusion(OLIF).
Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 65 patients with lumbar degenerative diseases treated with OLIF were performed from July 2017 to July 2018. There were 26 males and 39 females aged from 33 to 79 years old with an average of (62.
Objective: To explore the autophagy expression and examine its significance in chondrocytes in a degenerate model of human cervical vertebrae endplate.
Methods: Cartilage endplates were obtained from 48 hospitalized patients with cervical vertebral fracture or dislocation at our hospital between February 2012 to August 2012. They were divided into cervical spondylosis group with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (n = 31) and control group (n = 17).
