Study Design: Prospective case series.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of education, financial income, occupation, and patient counseling on the timing of enrolment in a spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation program.
Overview Of Literature: A rehabilitation program following SCI is essential to improve functional outcomes.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
Purpose: The study was aimed at evaluating clinicoradiological factors affecting recovery of neurological deficits in cases of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) treated by lumbar microdiscectomy.
Overview Of Literature: The majority of the available literature on neurological recovery following neurodeficit is limited to retrospective series.
Study Design: Prospective observational study.
Purpose: To determine the incidence of postoperative urinary retention (POUR) in patients undergoing elective posterior lumbar spine surgery and identify the risk factors associated with the development of POUR.
Overview Of Literature: POUR following surgery can lead to detrusor dysfunction, urinary tract infections, prolonged hospital stay, and a higher treatment cost; however, the risk factors for POUR in spine surgery remain unclear.
Study Design: Retrospective case series.
Purpose: To correlate functional outcomes with spinopelvic parameters in patients with high-grade spondylolisthesis (HGS) treated with instrumented surgery or reduction and fusion.
Overview Of Literature: Satisfactory functional outcomes are reported with reduction and fusion strategies in HGS.
