Filter by:The objective of this investigation is to confirm the results obtained in a pilot study showing that certain radiological parameters based on computed tomography (CT) scans seem to reliably detect posterior ligament complex (PLC) injury without the need for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Prospective, multicenter non comparative and observational study (post-market clinical follow-up). Patients operated with PASS OCT® manufactured by MEDICREA® INTERNATIONAL between July 2016 and July 2017. The inclusion period will be 12 months and the follow-up 24 months
Examine the long-term survivorship via CT Scan of the coflex in patients who presented with spinous process fracture(s) at 24 months in the Paradigm Spine coflex IDE Study.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a rheumatoid disease affecting all segments of the axial skeleton, leading to the complete fusion of all spinal segments - the bamboo-spine. During the last decade biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARD) have been successfully introduced to reduce the disease activity. It is unclear whether bDMARD treatment had an effect on spinal fracture risk related to AS. This national registry study will investigate the effect of bDMARD treatment on spinal fracture risk in a national cohort of patients with AS.
Fractures of the second cervical vertebra (C2) are the most common spinal fracture among the elderly. Non-surgical treatment comprises of cervical collar treatment for 12 weeks, while surgical treatment for elderly could mean posterior fixation C1-C2 without collar treatment or anterior screw osteosynthesis C2 with 6 weeks of collar treatment. A meta-analysis of retrospective studies has recently found an improved survival with surgical treatment. This national registry study is designed to estimate the survival of non-surgical and surgical treatment in a population-based cohort.
Appropriate fluid management is an important part of anesthesia in patients undergoing surgery, and several dynamic indices have been suggested to have high predictability for fluid responsiveness in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Among various surgical positions, the prone position is known to cause unique physiologic and hemodynamic changes and affect the predictability and cut-off values of dynamic indices for fluid responsiveness. A previous study reported that pulse pressure variation (PPV) and corrected flow time were able to predict fluid responsiveness with relatively high accuracy in patients undergoing spine surgery in the prone position using a Wilson frame. However, the Jackson frame is known to have less effects on the cardiovascular system compared to the Wilson frame, and therefore may be physiologically more appropriate in patients undergoing surgery in the prone position. The pleth variability index (PVI) is a dynamic index that can be monitored non-invasively in patients under mechanical ventilation. The present study aims evaluate the validity of PPV and pleth variability index (PVI) as predictors of fluid responsiveness in the supine and prone positions in patients undergoing posterior lumbar spinal fusion using the Jackson table.
The study is a parallel-group single blinded randomized controlled trial, examining the effect of exercise on physical function in older women with osteoporosis and a history of vertebral fracture. The participants will randomly be assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention group and the control group. The intervention will follow newly developed exercise recommendations for people with osteoporosis and vertebral fractures, which states the balance- and strength exercises should be performed at least twice a week. The intervention is a group exercise session circuit program lasting for 12 weeks. The participants will be tested at baseline, and followed up at 3 months and 6 months.
Although long-segment posterior spinal fixation might provide more rigid fixation, the procedure increases perioperative morbidities in the elderly. The present study reviews the results of short-segment decompression and reconstruction in thoracolumbar fragile fractures.
This study will compare two standard treatments in acute stable traumatic vertebral fractures (types A1 and A3.1 by Magerl Classification). The two treatments are as follows: 1. SpineJack® system 2. Conservative Orthopedic Management consisting of brace and pain medication.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of intravenous infusion of fucosylated autologous bone marrow cells as a new therapy in patients with established osteoporosis by a prospective, single-center, open, non-randomized and unblinded clinical trial.
