腰椎间盘术后椎间盘炎的诊治

目的：探讨腰椎间盘术后椎间盘炎的病因。早期诊断和治疗问题。方法：分析10例术后腰椎间盘炎的临床表现、血象、血流变化、血和病灶细菌培养、腰椎X线平片、CT、MRI所见在发病后的敏感程度，比较3例非手术与7例经前路腹膜后（2例联合后入路）病灶清除，一期椎间植骨融合本治疗的效果。结果：不同程度的发热、痉挛性腰痛、血流增快是本病的特点。MRI、CF、X线片三者的诊断敏感性存在时间差，分别约为发病后1、3、5周。仅2例血和病灶细菌培养均阳性。前路减压植骨融合术减少全身性抗生素和镇痛剂的使用量，明显缩短病程。结论：ESR、MRI对早期确诊、引导手术价值较高。高热、痉挛性腰痛、血沉增快三者具一持续2周得不到控制，可考虑及早手术。手术疗法近期效果更为确切。     

Appearances of posterior osteophytes after sound anterior interbody fusion in the cervical spine: a high-definition computed myelographic study

Summary Whether posterior osteophytes in the cervical spine resorb after anterior interbody fusion is controversial. Previous studies have only used plain films. In order to study remodelling, a retrospective study of 53 patients using high-definition CT was performed. There was no evidence of remodelling or resorption of osteophytes and persistent osteophytes continued to deform the spinal cord for up to 12 years after fusion. The importance of this in relation to cervical spinal surgery is that every effort should be made to remove posterior osteophytes during anterior interbody fusion.     

退变性腰椎侧凸的外科治疗

目的探讨退变性腰椎侧凸的特点、诊断与治疗。方法2001年7月至2004年1月手术治疗退变性脊柱侧凸患者15例,行后路彻底椎板减压、椎弓根钉棒矫形固定,椎间融合器融合12例,后外侧植骨融合3例,回顾性分析其临床特点、手术方法与效果。结果术后侧凸平均矫正率为42.8%,腰腿痛均消失,下肢麻木等症状减轻,随访6~36个月,植骨融合良好,无融合器移位,矫正度数与椎间隙高度无丢失。结论成人退变性腰椎侧凸发病年龄大,多合并腰椎管狭窄、失稳等,腰腿痛原因复杂,治疗的主要目的是彻底减压,通过矫形使脊柱重新获得稳定,椎弓根钉棒固定及椎间融合是有效的治疗方法。     

Early neuromuscular customized training after surgery for lumbar disc herniation: a prospective controlled study

A prospective and controlled study of training after surgery for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). The objective was to determine the effect of early neuromuscular customized training after LDH surgery. No consensus exists on the type and timing of physical rehabilitation after LDH surgery. Patients aged 15–50 years, disc prolapse at L4–L5 or L5–S1. Before surgery, at 6 weeks, 4, and 12 months postoperatively, the following evaluations were performed: low back pain and leg pain estimated on a visual analog scale, disability according to the Roland–Morris questionnaire (RMQ) and disability rating index (DRI). Clinical examination, including the SLR test, was performed using a single blind method. Consumption of analgesics was registered. Twenty-five patients started neuromuscular customized training 2 weeks after surgery (early training group=ETG). Thirty-one patients formed a control group (CG) and started traditional training after 6 weeks. There was no significant difference in pain and disability between the two training groups before surgery. Median preoperative leg pain was 63 mm in ETG and 70 mm in the CG. Preoperative median disability according to RMQ was 14 in the ETG and 14.5 in the CG. Disability according to DRI (33/56 patients) was 5.3 in the ETG vs. 4.6 in the CG. At 6 weeks, 4 months, and 12 months, pain was significantly reduced in both groups, to the same extent. Disability scores were lower in the ETG at all follow-ups, and after 12 months, the difference was significant (RMQ P=.034, DRI P=.015). The results of the present study show early neuromuscular customized training to have a superior effect on disability, with a significant difference compared to traditional training at a follow-up 12 months after surgery. No adverse effects of the early training were seen. A prospective, randomized study with a larger patient sample is warranted to ultimately demonstrate that early training as described is beneficial for patients undergoing LDH surgery.     

Radiologic long-term results after cervical vertebral interbody fusion with Polymethyl Methacrylat (PMMA)

Long-term results of cervical interbody fusion with PMMA were evaluated in a retrospective study. X-ray films of 83 patients were obtainable. Post-operative follow-up in this series was between 15 and 20 years. The results show that PMMA is engrafted after about 2 years. Stable vertebral interbody fusion is obtained in about 90% of cases. Development of malignoma was not observed. Resorptive bone alterations, which can be seen in about 2% of cases one to two years after operation are shown not to be progressive. This process heals and stable fusion develops.     

Oblique transcorporeal approach to anteriorly located lesions in the cervical spinal canal

Summary The technique of obliquely drilling out the postero-lateral part of the cervical vertebral bodies is described. It uses the antero-lateral (retro carotico-jugular) approach to control and displace the vertebral artery postero-laterally and to expose the lateral aspect of the vertebral bodies. It provides, through a wide field and with minimal retraction of the carotid artery and the internal jugular vein, an extensive view of the anterior aspect of the spinal cord. It has already been used to treat 15 anterior lesions compressing the spinal cord including neurinomas and osteophytes.

Elastic strain energy in the low back muscles during human walking

Summary A simple model of the thorax, pelvis and three columns of the intrinsic lumbar back muscles (=ILBM) was constructed. The model was used to study the length of the ILBM during the different stages of the walking cycle. The length of the right ILBM (especially the lateral column) was largest at right toe off, exactly the stage of the walking cycle in which most force was needed to prevent the torso from falling forwards and laterally.
