Article Synopsis
- This study investigates a new, minimally invasive technique for implanting spinal cord stimulation (SCS) paddle leads using a biportal endoscope and shares early clinical results.
- Six patients underwent the procedure from February 2022 to December 2023, showing low blood loss (30 mL on average) and a reasonably quick operative time (87.5 minutes).
- Results indicated significant pain reduction post-surgery, with most patients experiencing minimal complications, and the technique demonstrates promise for safely implementing SCS systems.
Background: In our clinical practice, we observed that some osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture patients undergoing vertebral augmentation exhibited pain in the iliac crest region. This pain aligned with the diagnostic criteria for superior cluneal neuralgia (SCN) and affected treatment satisfaction.
Objective: This study aims to clinically observe patients undergoing vertebral augmentation in a hospital setting and analyze the etiology and risk factors associated with SCN.
Objetive: This study aims to introduce the unilateral biplanar screw-rod fixation (UBSF) technique (a hybrid fixation technique: 2 sets of atlantoaxial screws were placed on the same side), which serves as a salvage method for traditional posterior atlantoaxial fixation. To summarize the indications of this technique and to assess its safety, feasibility, and clinical effectiveness in the treatment of odontoid fractures.
Methods: Patients with odontoid fractures were enrolled according to special criteria.
