Background Data: Spondylolisthesis refers to the forward displacement of one vertebra relative to another. Whether degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) leads to instability was controversial in the literature. DS was conventionally considered to be instable but some papers have reported that there was no evidence that the range of motions (ROMs) of the vertebrae with DS were increased compared with normal vertebrae. Purpose: The aim of the work was to study motor characteristics of the vertebral segments with lumber degenerative spondylolisthesis in elderly patients aftersurgical management. Study Design: This is a prospective study. Patients and Methods: Thirty patients (age more than 55 …

Background Data: Degenerative cervical myelopathy is a complex neurologic disorder that usually develops insidiously, although abrupt deterioration in function can occur. The natural history of cervical myelopathy is highly variable,with some patients having progressive disability, whereas others have a mild course. The treatment of cervical myelopathy may be conservative or surgical, depending on the severity of symptoms at initial examination.Purpose: The aim of this work is to assess the clinical improvement as well as the bony fusion in patients with cervical myelopathy treated by multi-level ACDF using stand-alone PEEK cages.Study design: clinical_studyPatients and Methods: The material of this study consisted …
Early Outcome Of Sciatica After Redo Surgeries For Recurrent Lumbar Disc Herniation, Hazem Alkosha, Ashraf Zidan
Early Outcome Of Sciatica After Redo Surgeries For Recurrent Lumbar Disc Herniation, Hazem Alkosha, Ashraf Zidan
Advanced Spine Journal
Background Data: Result of redo discectomies varies widely in the literature. This may be due to variability in inclusion criteria and associated pathologies which may alter results. We tried to evaluate the early outcome of recurrent sciatica after redo discectomies in highly selected cases and risk factors for poor outcome. Purpose: to assess the rate of success of redo lumbar discectomy in patients with recurrent sciatica. Study Design: A retrospective clinical case studyPatients and Methods: A retrospective study including 30 cases with recurrent sciatica caused by true recurrent disc herniation over a period of 8 years. Clinical and radiological data …
