Filter by:A multicenter patient registry was created with aim of documenting how spine and neurosurgeons are utilizing Burst Biologics products along with patient outcomes. These include radiographic measures such as fusion outcome, instrumentation integrity, and clinical outcomes (symptom and function improvement) based on surgeon and patient based outcome assessments.
Approximately 300,000 patients undergo open surgical procedures to treat symptoms caused by disc herniation. Among the various surgical techniques practiced the percutaneous discectomy occupies its space since the first description of the technique by Hijikata, 1975. Throughout, many techniques have been described. Studies indicate that the treatment was successful for pain and disability resulting from herniated disc associated with radiculopathy small. However, some methods remove very small amounts of tissue with little change in volume of the disc. Thus, studies on the cadaver with Percutaneous Diskectomy by SpineJet ® showed more macroscopic changes of the disc with a predictable amount of removal and significant disc material. The Percutaneous Diskectomy by SpineJet ® is a new technique of percutaneous diskectomy which creates a suction effect in tissues adjacent to the exit point of the fluid and the opening point of the collector. However, no studies have examined the effect of the Percutaneous Diskectomy by SpineJet ® in humans about the disk size after treatment or measures of disc degeneration by imaging methods or how these characteristics might correlate with clinical outcomes. Thus, the study will compare outcomes of patients with contained or extruded disc herniation, with complaints of radiculopathy, concordant with the imaging findings. With treatment by surgical technique or the traditional by SpineJet ®, in order to determine whether percutaneous discectomy with SpineJet ® will produce results comparable to open microdiskectomy.
The effectiveness of physical therapy for treatment of anterior disc displacement without reduction of temporomandibular disorders has not been well defined. This study compared the treatment method with conservative splint therapy. Fifty two subjects were assigned at random to either of two treatment groups: one is a splint treatment group, and the other is a joint mobilization self exercise group. Each treatment was evaluated using four outcome variables: (i) maximum mouth opening range without and (ii) with pain, (iii) present pain intensity, and (iv) limitation of daily activities. All outcome variables were significantly improved after eight-week of treatment in the exercise group. Meanwhile, the splint treatment improved three variables, other than "mouth opening with pain"; however, the degree of improvement was less than that seen in the exercise group. This result demonstrates that the joint mobilization self exercise improves jaw function and relieves pain as compared to the splint treatment.
