Filter by:The investigators will examine the prevalence of low-back pain and disc degeneration among Finnish elite skiers between 16 and 35 years of age and compare these findings with the data collected among healthy volunteers studied between 1994-2021.
Observational data collection of information after undergoing standard Cervical spine fusion surgery.
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a major cause of chronic low back pain (> 40%). It can be defined by specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, with a strong correlation between pain and the inflammatory aspect of the disc, resulting in active disc disease (AD). The Modic classification based on MRI of the lumbar spine is considered a reference. The management of low back pain in patients with inflammatory disc disease generally involves intra-disc corticosteroid infiltration, which has been widely proven to be effective in reducing pain [4-6]. However, this procedure can be painful and invasive and sometimes impossible to perform due to severe disc impingement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy on pain of para-disc infiltration of corticosteroids in contact with the inflammatory MRI signal abnormality (Modic 1) when it is lateralized. This variant of infiltration is easier to perform (no catheterisation of the disc and therefore quicker), would entail less risk of disc infection and would be accessible to more radiologists. It is already practised but, to our knowledge, has never been the subject of a study to evaluate its effectiveness on pain. If successful, more patients could be treated and the range of treatment could be extended.
Compare the lumbar fusion rates at 12 and 24 months when lumbar arthrodesis is performed using Virtuous or Autograft Bone Graft. Surgical approach is limited to TLIF (MIS or Open) with posterior fixation and supplemental posterolateral fusion as directed by physician, but must comply with FDA approved/cleared indication for use and labeling.
This is a Retrospective, Observational Multi-Center study, utilizing patients diagnosed with up to a Grade1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis or symptomatic degenerative disc disease and treated with STALIF® C, or M, Ti and/or FLX implants at one or two levels.
This observational study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anterior cervical spine surgery in patients with cervical degenerative disc disease
This study aims to show the association between the Interleukin-1β (rs 1143627 T/C) gene polymorphism and the patient's pain level, radiological features, functional disability, and spinal flexibility.
The objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a single administration of AGA111 for lumbar interbody fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Modulus ALIF System in patients undergoing anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) as measured by reported complications, radiographic outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes.
The main objective of the study is to compare the onset of adjacent segment disk degeneration in two groups of patients (one "spinal fusion group" and one "lumbar arthroplasty with disc replacement" group) with each patient acting as their own control for either group under study and more than three years of follow-up.
