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.
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.
Objective: To evaluate the improvement of drop foot following lumbar decompression surgery and determine the prognostic factors that might influence the recovery of drop foot.
Summary And Background Date: Drop foot is a common but serious problem that can lead to deteriorate patient's daily activities. There are numerous studied regarding the prognostic factors for the recovery of drop foot.
We surgically treated an osteochondral lesion associated with a stress fracture of the tarsal navicular. The surgical procedure involved the confirmation and complete resection of the lesion under direct vision, followed by the transplantation of block-shaped iliac bone grafts. The postoperative computed tomography scan showed that the lesions had disappeared, the grafted bone had fused, and the stress fracture had healed.
