Abstract:

Introduction: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is an apical ballooning syndrome, which can be triggeredby stress. Only few case reports describe the onset of Takotsubo as a complication of neurosurgery procedures. Clinical presentation: A case of a 53 year-old female with a spinal neurinoma and surgery-associated Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is demonstrated. The patient developed typical signs of a myocardial infarction with circulation depression and ST elevation, but normal cardiac enzymes at the end of surgery. Cardiac catheterization and levocardiography confirmed the absence of any critical coronary

Abstract:

Back pain is a massive global public health problem with multiple contributing factors including obesity. Obesity is thought to be linked to back pain through mechanical factors. However, obesity also causes a systemic low-grade inflammatory milieu. This would suggest a possible biochemical link between obesity, intervertebral disc degeneration, and back pain. Furthermore, the relationship between obesity and the clinical presentation of spine patients is unclear. This thesis aims to examine the effect of and relationship between obesity, the intervertebral discs, and back pain from biochemica

Abstract:

The harvesting of a local bone graft from the lumber vertebral body adjacent to an anterior interbody fusion was suggested, to avoid secondary morbidity associated with iliac bone harvest. Instrumentation using a cannulated core drill was developed and assessed in an anatomic safety study. The biomechanical implications of plug removal were assessed in single vertebra and multisegment models. Plug removal using the tools developed was considered safe. The removal of a cylinder bone plug from the vertebral body affected flexion/compression load significantly. The yield strength of the vertebra

Abstract:

Bending fatigue has been noted in early clinical results of anterior spinal fixation using standard 6.5mm outside diameter (3.2mm inside diameter) cancellous bone screws. Fractography was used to qualify and quantify the failure mode. Fracture mechanics was used to determine the load level from the fractographic findings. These results were used in a test program to reproduce the fatigue failures seen in-vivo. The validity of the experimental model was investigated by varying test coupon parameters, testing the modified specimens and comparing the results to those predicted.

Abstract:

Bone screws are used to fix various implants to the human spine. Screw fixation can be difficult in osteoporotic bone because of its reduced strength. This research aimed to investigate screw fixation techniques in the spine. A questionnaire study, representing British and Irish spine surgeons, confirmed the potential for a simple screw positioning device and identified the need for an improved screw for osteoporotic bone. Determination of the compressive mechanical properties of 0.32 g.cm\(^{-3}\), 0.16 g.cm\(^{-3}\) and 0.09 g.cm\(^{-3}\) polyurethane foam enabled them to be used as models f

Although multiple advanced tools and methods are available for gait analysis, the gait and its related disorders are usually assessed by visual inspection in the clinical environment.

Early identification of foot drop, a common gait disorder, would become possible using the proposed methodology.

Radiography is a common radiologic investigation despite abundant evidence of its limited diagnostic value. On the other hand, computed tomography (CT) has a high diagnostic value and is widely considered to be among the most important advances in medicine. However, CT exposes patients to a higher radiation dose and it might therefore not be acceptable simply to replace radiography with CT, despite the powerful diagnostic value of this technique. At the expense of reduced CT image quality, which could be adjusted to the diagnostic needs, low-dose CT of abdomen and lumbar spine can be performed

The lumbar TDR procedure has demonstrated clinical efficacy equivalent to that of lumbar fusion, although concern remains about the longevity, safety, and costs related to the procedure. The

Fusionless scoliosis surgery is an emerging treatment for idiopathic scoliosis as it offers theoretical advantages over current forms of treatment. Currently the treatment options for idiopathic scoliosis are observation, bracing and fusion. While brace treatment is non-invasive, and preserves the growth, motion, and function of the spine, it does not correct deformity and is only modestly successful in preventing curve progression. In adolescents who fail brace treatment, surgical treatment with an instrumented spinal fusion usually results in better deformity correction but is associated wi

Como o parafuso é a âncora de sustentação, o trabalho procura investigar as técnicas de introdução do parafuso pedicular. Para atingir esse objetivo desenvolvemos o trabalho por meio de estudo com ensaios mecânicos de arrancamento e estudo histológico. Dois tipos de parafusos pediculares foram utilizados: parafuso pedicular do sistema USIS (Ulrich) e parafuso pedicular do s

Abstract:

Im Rahmen einer experimentellen Vergleichsstudie zweier bildwandlergestützter Navigationssysteme wurde die 3D-bildwandlergestützte Navigation mit der 2D-bildwandlergestützten Navigation zur Pedikelschraubenplatzierung am Modell getestet. Neben der Präzision der Bohrungen in einem postoperativen CT wurden Bildqualität, Genauigkeit des 3D-Scans, Planbarkeit und Umsetzung der Bohrungen bewertet und verglichen. Mit der 3D- Bildwandler- Navigation wurden 38 der 40 Bohrungen exakt platziert (95%). Eine Planung wurde durch einen Softwarefehler der Alpha-Version auf dem Monitor falsch wiedergegeben

Abstract:

A vertebroplastia percutânea (VP) consiste na injeção de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) no corpo vertebral para alívio da dor e estabilização vertebral, porém seu uso na região cervical é restrito. No intuito de avaliar a efetividade e a segurança da VP na região cervical (VPC), foram avaliados 75 pacientes que se submeteram à VPC (n=101) por doença maligna (n=69) ou hemangioma vertebral (n=6) no período de janeiro de 1994 a outubro de 2007. A VPC foi realizada por uma abordagem ântero-lateral guiada por fluoroscopia. A dor foi graduada por uma escala variando de 0 a 10. O seguimento clinico (per
