Filter by:Neural injury is a well-known complication following extreme lateral lumbar interbody fusion (XLIF). It has been found that up to 9.4% of patients will have either temporary or persistent neurologic deficit. This occurs with traversal of the psoas muscle or direct injury to lumbosacral plexus or sympathetic ganglion. While often temporary, it can cause hip flexor weakness, thigh numbness, or pain. Several studies have demonstrated reduced patient reported pain scores following steroid administration, particularly in the early postoperative period. However, few studies have investigated the efficacy of intraoperative local injection of corticosteroid in reducing the incidence and duration of postoperative pain or neurologic injury for XLIF patients.
To quantify potential short- and long-term benefits of robotically-guided minimally invasive (MIS) or open-approach spine surgery in adult patients undergoing multi-level spinal instrumentation surgery, in comparison to image- or navigation-guided instrumentation in a matching cohort of control patients, performed using a freehand technique, both in MIS and open approaches.
DTRAX Graft is used to relieve nerve pressure in the neck in order to provide relief for Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease. This study is being conducted to determine the effectiveness of the graft, and to find out whether or not it provides better results or faster healing than traditional ways of performing surgery for Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease.
