ABSTRACT
Interspinous dynamic stabilization is popular in the non-fusion spine surgery.It is characterized in the motion preservation of segmental lumbar,avoiding the stress change after fusion surgery and adjacent disc degeneration.Interspinous dynamic stabilization systems have got fast development and are widely used in the treatment of lumbar spine disease.As an innovation of traditional fusion surgery,the clinical evaluation is the focus of spine surgeon.In this paper,the recent studies of the clinical evaluation of interspinous dynamic stabilization are reviewed.
ABSTRACT
Neurologic complications are rare but devastating events after scoliosis surgery;a thorough preoperative work-up and effective intraoperative monitoring of the spinal cord may reduce the incidence.This review discusses the incidence,preoperative work-up,intraoperative monitoring,and managing strategies for neurologic complications of scoliosis surgery.
ABSTRACT
Posterior pedicle fixation-based dynamic stabilization is now densely studied in the non-fusion spine surgery.The method is characterized by the motion preservation of segmental lumbar,avoidance of the stress change after fusion surgery,and adjacent disc degeneration.Posterior pedicle fixation-based dynamic stabilization systems have undergone fast development and are now used for the treatment of degenerative lumbar spine disease.As an innovation of traditional fusion surgery,the clinical evaluation of its efficacy has become a focus of study among spine surgeons.In this paper,we review the recent progress in the clinical efficacy of posterior pedicle fixation-based dynamic stabilization.
ABSTRACT
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is common clinical spinal disorders often occurring in the cervical spine,with the main symptom being nerve compression.The specific mechanism of OPLL remains unclear,but genetic factors,single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs),mechanical stimulation,metabolism abnormality might be involved in the etiology of the disease.Multiple genetic and environmental factors may contribute to the development of OPLL.OPLL has prominent genetic characteristic,and it is associated with SNPs of several genes.Here we review the SNPs of several genes (COL11A2,BMP-2,TGF-?1,TGF-?3,NPPS,COL6A1 and Runx2) which contribute to the development of OPLL,hoping to lay a foundation for future study.
