Search: 20121217-23 The purpose of this study was to compare modified plate-only laminoplasty and lami- nectomy and fusion to confirm which of the 2 surgical modalities could achieve a better decompression outcome and whether a significant difference was found in postopera- tive complications. Clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 141 patients with cervical stenotic myelopathy who underwent plate-only laminoplasty and laminectomy and fusion between November 2007 and June 2010. The extent of decompression was assessed by measuring the cross-sectional area of the dural sac and the distance of spinal cord drift at the 3 most narrowed levels on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. Clinical outcomes and complications were also recorded and compared. Significant en- largement of the dural sac area and spinal cord drift was achieved and well maintained in both groups, but the extent of decompression was greater in patients who underwent Figure: T2-weighted magnetic resonance image laminectomy and fusion; however, a greater decompression did not seem to produce a showing the extent of decompression assessed by better clinical outcome.

  • Post–Vertebral Augmentation Back Pain: ORIGINAL RESEARCH Evaluation and Management

    Post–Vertebral Augmentation Back Pain: ORIGINAL RESEARCH Evaluation and Management

    Post–Vertebral Augmentation Back Pain: ORIGINAL RESEARCH Evaluation and Management S. Kamalian BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Vertebral augmentation is an established treatment for painful osteo- R. Bordia porotic vertebral fractures of the spine. Nevertheless, patients may continue to have significant back pain afterward. The purpose of this study was to assess the source of persistent or recurrent back pain A.O. Ortiz following vertebral augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Our institutional review board approved this study. We evaluated 124 consecutive patients who underwent vertebral augmentation for painful osteoporotic vertebral frac- tures. All patients were evaluated after 3 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year following their procedure. Patients with any type of back pain after their procedure were examined under fluoroscopy. RESULTS: Thirty-four of 124 (27%) patients were men, and 90/124 (73%) were women. Persistent or recurrent back pain, not due to a new fracture or a failed procedure, was present in 29/124 (23%) patients. The source of pain was most often attributed to the sacroiliac and/or lumbar facet joints (25/29 or 86%). Seventeen of 29 (59%) patients experienced immediate relief after facet joint injection of a mixture of steroid and local anesthetic agents. The remaining 12 (41%) had relief after additional injections. Ten (34%) patients ultimately required radio-frequency neurolysis for long-term relief. CONCLUSIONS: Back pain after vertebral augmentation may not be due to a failed procedure but rather to an old or a new pain generator, such as an irritated sacroiliac or lumbar facet joint. This is of importance not only for further pain management of these patients but also for designing trials to compare the efficacy of vertebral augmentation to other treatments.

    Arthroscopy - OrthoInfo - AAOS 6/10/12 3:40 PM Copyright 2010 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Arthroscopy Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure orthopaedic surgeons use to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint. The word arthroscopy comes from two Greek words, "arthro" (joint) and "skopein" (to look). The term literally means "to look within the joint." In an arthroscopic examination, an orthopaedic surgeon makes a small incision in the patient's skin and then inserts pencil-sized instruments that contain a small lens and lighting system to magnify and illuminate the structures inside the joint. Light is transmitted through fiber optics to the end of the arthroscope that is inserted into the joint. By attaching the arthroscope to a miniature television camera, the surgeon is able to see the interior of the joint through this very small incision rather than a large incision needed for surgery. The television camera attached to the arthroscope displays the image of the joint on a television screen, allowing the surgeon to look, for example, throughout the knee. This lets the surgeon see the cartilage, ligaments, and under the kneecap. The surgeon can determine the amount or type of injury and then repair Here are parts of the shoulder joint as or correct the problem, if it is necessary. seen trhough an arthroscope: the rotator cuff (RC), the head fo the humerus Why is arthroscopy necessary? (HH), and the biceps tendon (B). Diagnosing joint injuries and disease begins with a thorough medical history, physical examination, and usually X-rays. Additional tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) also scan may be needed.

We performed a comparative study regarding the buckling- type alignment that follows laminoplasty and laminectomy to know the mechanical changes in the alignment of the cervical spine. Lateral images of plain roentgenograms of the cervical spine were put into a computer and examined using a program we developed for analysis of the buckling-type alignment. Sixty-four patients who underwent laminoplasty and 37 patients who underwent laminectomy were reviewed retrospectively. The subjects comprised patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and those with ossi®cation of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). The postoperative observation period was 6 years and 7 months on average after laminectomy, and 5 years and 6 months on average following laminoplasty. Development of the buckling-type alignment was found in 33% of patients following laminectomy and only 6% after laminoplasty. Development of buckling-type alignment following laminoplasty appeared markedly less than following laminectomy in both CSM and OPLL patients. These results favor laminoplasty over laminectomy from the aspect of mechanics. Keywords: laminoplasty; laminectomy; buckling; kyphosis; swan-neck deformity Introduction In 1930, Eiselberg1 reported a case of postoperative of postoperative abnormal alignment from the aspect kyphosis of the spine following laminectomy from the of the presence or absence of buckling-type alignment.

Thirty-one knees with symptomatic total knee arthroplasty were diagnosed and treated arthroscopically. There were 18 knees with soft tissue impingement and 13 knees without. There were 16 knees with painful arthroplasty and range of motion (ROM) greater than 90°. Hypertrophied synovitis with or without impingement was more easily found by arthroscopy in this group than in the other 15 knees with the chief complaint of limited ROM, where more remarkable fibrotic tissue with intra-articular adhesion was found. Overall, the average improvement in ROM was 43.1° immediately after arthroscopy, and 20° at the final follow-up. Symptoms improved in 90.3% of patients, and 58.1% were satisfied with the outcome of their surgery. Arthroscopy is helpful for intra-articular diagnosis, obtaining a specimen for histopatho- logic analysis, culture for subclinical infection, and better improvement in ROM. In our experience, arthros- copy for symptomatic knee arthroplasty is reliable, safe and effective.

Vertebral fractures are the most common skeletal injury associated with osteoporosis, and it is estimated that more than 750,000 occur annually in the United States.1 Up to one quarter of people over 50 years of age will have at least one vertebral fracture in their life time secondary to osteoporosis.2 According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the operational definition of osteoporosis is a bone density measure >2.5 standard deviations (SD) below the mean of young healthy adults of similar race and gender.3 Primary osteoporosis is related to the changes in postmenopausal women secondary to reduction of estrogen levels and related to age-related loss of bone mass. Secondary osteoporosis is the loss of bone caused by an agent or disease process. 1,4 (See Osteoporosis SOC) The severity of vertebral fractures can be assessed by the Genat semiquantitative method. Commonly used by radiologists, this scale assesses the severity of the fracture visually and has been shown to be reliable.5 Genat Semiquantitive Grading System for Vertebral Deformity5 Grade 0- normal vertebral height Grade 1- minimal fracture- 20-25% height decrease Grade 2- moderate fracture- 25-40% height decrease Grade 3-severe- >40% height decrease Standard methods of diagnosing vertebral fractures are imaging, including the following: CT scan, MRI, and radiography.

    Procedure Name: Knee Arthroscopy Brief Description of Procedure

    Procedure Name: Knee Arthroscopy Brief Description of Procedure: Arthroscopic surgery is a common orthopedic procedure that is used to diagnose and treat problems in joints. Greek words: ‘arthro,’ meaning “joint” and ‘scope,’ meaning, “look.” When arthroscopy is per- formed, a telescope with a camera is inserted into the joint through a small incision. The camera is attached to a light source and shows a picture of the inside of the joint on a monitor. One or more incisions may be made to treat the underlying problem. This procedure can be used to diagnose a joint problem, perform surgery that repairs a joint problem, remove a loose or foreign body, or monitor a dis- ease or the effectiveness of a treatment. Arthroscopy is commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, and ankle. It also can be done on the hip, elbow, and wrist. Describe anesthesia type that typically is given: General Anesthesia is usually used for this surgery. See Anesthesia Section. What patients that smoke can expect when having surgery: After surgery your anesthesia specialist will check your breathing and lung sounds to determine if a breathing treatment is needed. Smoking increases airway irritation, which leads to wheezing and coughing. Further breathing treatments and medications are sometimes needed. Average length of surgery time: 45 minutes-1 hour Average length in immediate recovery: 30 minutes Average length for time of discharge: Expect to be here an average of one hour after surgery. During this time you may experience some discomfort. Medication can be given to make pain bearable. When can you go back to work: Depending on your occupation you and your doctor will discuss when you may return to work.

Study Design: A retrospective analysis of two interventional case series. Setting: Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kagawa University, Japan. Methods: Subjects comprised 34 patients who underwent SC and 49 patients who underwent LP. SC was performed by high-speed drilling to remove vertebral bodies. Autologous strut bone grafting was used. LP was performed as an expansive open-door LP. The level of decompression was from C3 to C7. Clinical evaluations included recovery rate (RR), frequency of C5 root palsy after surgery, re-operation and axial pain. Radiographic assessments included sagittal cervical alignment and bone union. Results: Comparisons between the two groups showed no significant differences in age at surgery, preoperative factors, RR and frequency of C5 palsy. Progression of kyphotic changes, operation time and volumes of blood loss and blood transfusion were significantly greater in the SC (two- or three- level) group. Six patients in the SC group required additional surgery because of pseudoarthrosis, and four patients underwent re-operation because of adjacent level disc degeneration.
