Article Synopsis
- Outpatient lumbar decompression surgeries have been effectively performed for over 20 years in France, but there's limited documentation on outpatient instrumented lumbar surgeries and arthroplasties; this study evaluates their feasibility, efficiency, and safety.
- Conducted between September 2020 and September 2021, the study involved 40 patients aged 18-75 undergoing various lumbar procedures, with a primary goal of assessing successful same-day discharges and monitoring complications and pain management.
- Results showed a 95% success rate for same-day discharges within twelve hours, no serious complications, and a 100% patient satisfaction rate, highlighting that patient education and early pain management are key to avoiding complications and improving recovery time.
Introduction: Chronic low back pain is a significant public health issue. Both its direct and indirect cost represents tens of billions of US dollars. Although chronic low back pain can be the result of many factors, the predominant cause is disc degeneration.

Computed tomography (CT) allows 3D measurement of native acetabular orientation, but with a substantial radiation dose. The EOS imaging system was developed to perform this kind of evaluation, but has not been validated in this indication with specific attention to the acetabulum.

A multicentric study retrospectively reviewed radiological and functional outcomes (mean follow-up 49 months) of 48 patients (mean age 12 years) with thoracic and/or lumbar spinal fractures that occurred between 1996 and 2014. Demographic data and radiological spinopelvic parameters were analyzed.

One of them, recombinant human (rh) BMP-2, has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use under precise conditions. However, rhBMP-2-related side effects have been reported, used in FDA-approved procedures, but also in off-label use.
