Clinicoradiological Risk Factors Associated with Inability to Achieve Minimum Clinically Important Difference in Operated Cases of Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy.

Study Design: This is a retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the clinicoradiological risk factors associated with the inability to achieve minimum clinically important difference (MCID) on the modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association (mJOA) Scale in operated cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).

Overview Of Literature: Only a few studies have evaluated the outcomes of surgery performed for CSM using MCID on the mJOA scale.

Influence of Preoperative Sagittal Alignment on Functional Recovery in Operated Cases of Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy.

 We examine the influence of preoperative cervical sagittal curvature (lordotic or nonlordotic) on the functional recovery of surgically managed cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). The impact of sagittal alignment on the functional improvement of operated CSM cases has not been thoroughly investigated.  We did retrospective analysis of consecutively operated cases of CSM from March 2019 to April 2021.

Lumbar Canal Stenosis: A Prospective Clinicoradiologic Analysis.

Background:  Although spinal canal narrowing is thought to be the defining feature for the clinical diagnosis of lumbar canal stenosis, the degree of spinal canal stenosis necessary to elicit neurologic symptoms is not clear. Several studies have been performed to detect an association between a narrow spinal canal and clinical symptoms. Through our prospective study, we compared the radiologic criteria with the clinical criteria using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and assessed how they correlate.

Fluoroscopy Guided Percutaneous Transpedicular Biopsy of Vertebral Body Lesion.

Background: The common causes of vertebral body lesion are metastasis, infection, primary malignancies or osteoporotic fractures. Histopathological examination is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. There are different approaches to collect the biopsy samples and they have different adequacy and accuracy rates and also possible complications.

Compartment syndrome of lumbar paraspinal musculature after percutaneous pedicle screw fixation.

Background: Compartment syndromes have been reported in nearly every anatomical area of the extremities. Similarly, in the lumbar spine, there is a risk of a compartment syndrome following either direct or indirect injury to the paraspinal muscles. In this study, we present a case of lumbar paraspinal compartment syndrome after percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for a spine fracture.
