Role of technetium-99m planar bone scanning in the evaluation of low back pain

The records of 1018 patients with low back pain in a tertiary spine referral practice were reviewed. One hundred thirty-nine out of 1018 (13.6%) underwent technetium-99m planar bone scanning as part of their investigation. Seventy-three out of 139 scans (52%) showed increased uptake in some area, but only 27 out of 139 (19.4%) showed increased uptake specifically in the low back. Scans consistently yielded no findings with reference to the back when the prescan diagnosis was spinal stenosis, lumbar pain syndrome, herniated nucleus pulposus, or postlaminectomy syndrome. Some scans gave positive findings in patients with a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease, pseudarthrosis, spondylolisthesis, fracture, infection, metabolic disorder, or tumor. Positive scans were generally obtained early after presentation (within 3 months) and negative scans obtained later (after 6 months), suggesting that clinical suspicion is still the main indication for early scanning. Planar bone scanning was helpful in both diagnosis and therapeutic decisionmaking in many conditions.     

肌电图对腰神经后根节段定位作用的实验研究

目的:探讨应用肌电图行大鼠腰神经后根节段定位的方法。方法:通过电生理的方法,依次电刺激L3￣L5脊神经后根,分别记录大鼠双侧下肢主要肌肉的肌电图像,测量最早出现的感觉神经动作电位(SNAP)最大波幅值。结果:刺激L3脊神经后根,于股四头肌记录到的波幅峰值(480.8±255.9μV)显著高于其它各组肌肉(P<0.01)。刺激L4脊神经后根,于下肢四组肌肉记录到的CMAP最大波幅平均值均>100μV,其中在股四头肌(305.2±131.5μV)、胫骨前肌(340.2±310.4μV)记录到的波幅峰值显著高于在股二头肌(142.4±144.7μV)、腓肠肌(138.2±127.6μV)记录到的波幅峰值(P<0.01)。刺激L5脊神经后根,于股二头肌(377.5±264.4μV)、腓肠肌(168.4±126.7μV)记录到的波幅峰值显著高于其它各肌群记录到的波幅峰值(P<0.01)。结论:电刺激不同脊神经后根,在大鼠下肢不同肌肉记录到的SNAP的波幅峰值存在差异,综合分析记录到的SNAP的波幅峰值,可作为腰神经后根节段定位的参考。     

计算机体层成像多平面重建在评价椎间融合中的作用

目的 探讨计算机体层成像多平面重建(CTMPR)在评价椎间融合中的作用,寻找定量评价椎间融合的新方法.方法 13例行腰椎间融合的患者术后1周、3个月、6个月行CTMPR,行椎间融合器(Cage)内植骨CT值定量测量.结果 术后1周Cage内植骨CT值为(619.52±26.97)Hu,术后3个月为(628.69±42.60)Hu,术后6个月为(657.77±37.43)Hu.术后1周与术后3个月相比无显著性差异,与术后6个月相比有显著性差异.结论 CT值的测量在椎间融合的判断中具有高准确性.     

A comparative study of the anatomical,radiological and therapeutic features of the lumbar facet joints

Summary An anatomical study of the lumbar apophyseal joints was carried out to facilitate recognition of facet joint lesions, which we now examine routinely by percutaneous arthrography. Special attention was given to the configuration of the different compartments of the joint space and to its relationships with the contents of the intervertebral foramen. The abnormalities seen on lumbar facet joint arthrography are very varied; two major groups should be stressed: synovial fringe hypertrophy and pseudodiverticular synovial ectasia. The percutaneous approach to lumbar facet joint arthrography allows it to be used a therapeutic measure, with injection of anti-inflammatory drugs into the joint space, the beneficial effects of which were confirmed in our series. The precision, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of this outpatient technique justify and should encourage its more widespread application in the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain.     

电针加委中刺血治疗急性腰椎间盘突出症

目的:探寻治疗急性腰椎间盘突出症的较佳疗法.方法:将100例患者随机分为两组.观察组52例,采用电针疗法,穴取腰阳关、大肠俞、关元俞、小肠俞为主,结合委中附近瘀络刺血治疗;对照组48例,采用牵引配合电针,穴取夹脊穴、肾俞、大肠俞为主,观察两组疗效并进行比较.结果:观察组治愈率为55.8%,愈显率为82.7%,对照组分别33.3%、54.2%,组间差异均有统计学意义(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).结论:电针结合委中附近瘀络刺血治疗急性腰椎间盘突出症疗效显著.     

经皮穿刺腰椎间盘切吸术治疗腰椎间盘突出症的远期疗效

目的 观察X线电视引导下经皮穿刺腰椎间盘切吸术治疗腰椎间盘突出症的远期疗效。方法 32例经CT扫描证实的腰椎间盘突出症患者，其中，膨出型29例，游离型2例，以及突出型1例，均经X线电视引导下经皮穿刺腰椎间盘切吸术治疗，术后均经随访0.5～11.0a。结果 术后1周～3个月，32例中的24例临床症状与体征得到有效控制或明显减轻，随访5～11a观察表明，症状完全消失和明显减轻者分别见于23例和6例，总有效率90.6%，预后极好和较好者均见于膨出型腰椎间盘突出症患者。结论 游离型和突出型腰椎间盘突出症的疗效均不理想，因此，术前认真选择适应证是获得理想疗效的关键性因素。     

The role of JOA score as an indication for surgical or conservative treatment of symptomatic degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the short- to medium-term results (up to 2 years) of conservative and surgical treatments of patients with symptomatic lumbar stenosis. To our knowledge, no previous study has provided strict indications for conservative or surgical treatment. We retrospectively studied 184 patients, who were divided into 3 groups according to JOA (Japanese Orthopaedic Association) score. A cutoff JOA score was arbitrarily fixed at 7. Patients with a score ≤7 (n=12; group A) underwent surgery, while patients with a score >7 (n=172) were conservatively treated. Group A included patients surgically treated within two months from diagnosis. Group B consisted of 144 patients who received conservative treatment, while group C (28 patients) represented patients who underwent surgery after a period of failed conservative treatment. The outcomes of surgical and conservative treatments were evaluated after 12 and 24 months, and were rated as satisfactory, not totally satisfactory, not satisfactory or totally unsatisfactory. Conservative treatment consisted of physical, orthotic and drug therapy, whereas surgical treatment included spinal decompression and instrumentation (if indicated), either rigidly or dynamically performed. Surgery was indicated in 22% of all patients and we obtained excellent results in 85% of them. Operative treatment provides excellent results for patients with severe clinical presentation (JOA score ≤7), while individuals with mild to moderate spinal stenosis (JOA score >7) should receive conservative treatment.
